Article name

[edit]

The name of the charity starts with 'The', but is this correct? I really am not sure as it looks clumsy. See Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund where the 'The' is dropped from the article name. Both articles can't be named correctly. John a s (talk) 06:57, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:THE seems to imply that the The should be used if it is part of the official name, but it is not the best written guideline. MilborneOne (talk) 17:18, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in The Royal Foundation

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Royal Foundation's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Together-2016":

  • From Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge: Samuelson, Kate (25 August 2017). "How Princes William and Harry Are Carrying on Causes Close to Princess Diana's Heart". Time magazine. Archived from the original on 7 June 2018. Retrieved 24 May 2018.
  • From Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex: Samuelson, Kate (25 August 2017). "How Princes William and Harry Are Carrying on Causes Close to Princess Diana's Heart". Time magazine. Archived from the original on 7 June 2018. Retrieved 24 May 2018.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 01:22, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 22 September 2023

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Royal Foundation. Consensus developed on the alternate title due to WP:THE. As for the other organisations, they may be moved or discussed independently of this discussion. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 12:46, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]


The Royal FoundationThe Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales – The new title, I believe, would be most accurate as the present title was retired in 2020 itself upon the exit of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from the Foundation. In that case, the title "The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge" would have been the most accurate page title as that was the charity's name from 2020 until September 9, 2022. I thought it best to put up the matter on the talk page for discussion before the move is put into force. I mean good faith and am aiming at accuracy and relevancy.

Weak oppose per WP:CONCISE/WP:SHORTFORM, unless it's proven that the proposed name is more common than the current name. estar8806 (talk) 23:59, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. We don't use "official" names - we use what's most commonly used which still looks to be just "Royal Foundation". Even the foundation seems to just use the short form.[1]. DeCausa (talk) 07:27, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as the official name has changed a few times but the general brand idea has stayed the same. Killuminator (talk) 09:28, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose move as proposed. Support move to Royal Foundation in line with WP:THE and WP:COMMONNAME, as expounded by Necrothesp, and support equivalent moves for similarly named royal trusts/foundations as mentioned by Keivan.f. Rosbif73 (talk) 06:53, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
