Talk:Justin

Site Being Sabotaged

I made a post here objecting to the fact that the Justin article has a POV and that it keeps being changed to maintain that POV. Probably the person who posted "OH GRAND ARTICLE" removed it.

Can I have a discussion with someone here about how to improve the historical accuracy and eliminated POVs in this any other articles?HistoryThD 20:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HistoryThD,

If the article looks like it is being vandalised, click on the history tab at the top of the page to review all edits made, and who made them. It's usually pretty easy to spot a vandal. You can revert the vandalism by comparing two versions, and clicking the Undo button listed under the most recent vandalism edit. If the same person (or IP address) is making the repeated vandalism, you can report this here: Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. I reverted the most recent vandalism to this page. Hiberniantears 20:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I cannot find what occurred in the history. I will assure you that I wrote several paragraphs that were vandalized in the discussion page. I would like to suggest some edits to the Justin page as I believe it does have a POV. Perhaps I can do this in the next day or so. HistoryThD 20:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at Justin and Justin (name) shows that they largely overlap; why do we need both? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is quite a lot of overlap. The idea, at least in theory, is that Justin is to be purely a disambiguation page—functioning to help to navigate quickly to articles that could be titled Justin and so would not have articles listed of people who are named Justin unless they are often known solely by the one name. Justin (name), on the other hand, is intended to be an article about the name Justin and so can have much that is not permitted on a dab page—information about name origins, translations, historical usage trends, statistics, name days, and whatever else. People often add a list of famous people with the name. See John versus John (first name) for a somewhat better example.

The guideline, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Given names or surnames, was the result of a series of discussions on the Wikiproject:Disambiguation-related pages. --Paul Erik 11:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

double / duplex / redundant

Justin (singer) (born 1978), Hawaiian singer-songwriter
Justin Bieber (born 1994), Canadian singer, sometimes attributed as "Justin"
Justin Lo, attributed as "Justin", Hong Kong Chinese American singer-songwriter, actor and record producer
Justin Martyr (103–165), early Christian apologist
Iustin Moisescu (1910–1986), Patriarch of All Romania
Justin Timberlake (born 1981), sometimes attributed as "Justin"

All those are here, but the list is at Justin (name), and there are even more. People with first name Justin should only be in one list, and in the second article, it should only be made clear where to find the list. This is not about 'merge'.

Plus something special: Martyr is not a family name: But for "Justin Martyr" (103–165), it just looks like one. Because it is in the list at "M", it really looks like that. The entry should of course be at "J". Which means here the first or second entry.

Why is it not Justin (Martyr) or Saint Justin? I mean, we could call Ivan IV Vasilyevich (Russian) simply Ivan Terrible ... / 'Hello Mister Terrible'.
