On the article.... why?

Rich Farmbrough, 15:56 7 September 2008 (GMT).

They were linking this page to the Romanian page about Kings Langley NSW. Bazj (talk) 16:25, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The Romanian page has been correctly intewikied here so this should be fixed now. Incidentally these things are easy to hand fix if ther's only one or two of them. Rich Farmbrough, 20:49 7 September 2008 (GMT).

The Romanian wiki was picking it up from the Dutch if I remember correctly. I fixed both of them. Glad to see it's propagated back correctly. The bot tag was an attempt which may not have worked, I'm not sure any of those bots are exclusion compliant. Bazj (talk) 21:58, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Even better: fr and it have been correctly added. Rich Farmbrough, 23:59, 22 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Governance in Kings Langley[edit]

An anon editor using two different IP addresses has repeated removed reference to Three Rivers Distirct Council from the info box and added nowiki messages to the effect that all of Kings Langley is in Dacorum DC and to stop adding info on Three Rivers. They have been asked to stop reverting and to come to this page to discuss. It is not in dispute that the majority of KL, all that is to the west of the Grand Union Canal, is in Dacorum. However there is a smaller but significant built up area which lies on the eastern side of the canal and the railway line and in places beyond this also. This area is part of the Primrose Hill ward of Abbots Langley parish which is in Three Rivers DC. see here. Roads in this areas come under the WD4 8 post code which is designated as part of KL.Tmol42 (talk) 23:20, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Langley Regina[edit]

I've removed the recent addition by User:Lobsterthermidor that the place once had the suffix 'Reginae' - I've been unable to find any evidence of this whatsoever and it's already started leaking out to the internet. Although his knowledge of Latin is admirable, Wikipedia does not permit original research: it must not become a primary source for any information, nor is it the place for lessons on Latin grammar.

In addition, the suffix 'Regina' is not well attested either - appearing, as far as I can see, in a 1963 book edited by Munby: "In the documents already quoted, Langley is Langley Chenduit . In 1282 it is Langley Regina ; by 1383 it has become Langley Regis." (Google snippet) and apparently repeated in a 1986 publication by the Hertfordshire Federation of Women's Institutes. Neither of these is comparable in reliability to the Place-Names of Hertfordshire (PNH), (1938, but still the definitive reference, I believe); Victoria County History (VCH); or Watts' Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names (2004, in which the extensive entry for the place is on p. 360). These reliable sources do not mention 'Regina' at all. In addition, PNH and VCH clearly indicate that 'Chenduit' refers to another location (now called Shendish), casting further doubt on the accuracy of Munby on this point. Based on all this, I've also removed mention of the 'Regina' suffix from the article. —SMALL JIM 11:55, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Langley Reginae[edit]

Loanwords should be stated correctly, with correct spelling and grammar. The Hertfordshire Village Book, Ann Roxburgh (Forward), Hertfordshire Federation of Women's Institutes (1986)Countryside Books, should be an acceptable source, unless evidence exists to the contrary.Lobsterthermidor (talk) 13:39, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
