Love Between Friends - Social Psychology[edit]

I don't know the factuality of the statement in the introductory paragraph regarding Social Psychology, but as Lewis is cited, I think he would disagree (as would, I believe Tolkein who was a philologist.) I wonder if this is not incorrect. Lewis made a distinction of the greek word philios (φίλος) for what the article says Social Psychology defines as Storge. I ask without having read the cited article. Thistledowne (talk) 14:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Second Citation: Greikle[edit]

Should this not be "Strong's Greek" google-fu nets me nothing for "Strong's Greikle" Thistledowne (talk) 14:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article Title[edit]

I do not believe I am able to change the name of this article, but would suggest using simply Storge instead of Storgē, the latter being more of a pronunciation.

Merger[edit]

I think the merger is a good idea if all love styles are moved into this article. In their current short forms I do not think they warrant an individual article each. If the individual love type articles were larger I would not recommend this merger. Hobo 03:22, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Love, and types of love should be posted in the same article, however editing should be consider in order to avoid redundancy.

IPA and pronounciation[edit]

The first line gives the IPA pronunciation /ˈstɔrdʒiː/ and the other a homophone based one (store-gae). The two differ. Okay, IPA is not taught at schools etc., but I found it very easy —and constructive— to pick up, especially with the underline hint thing. So I do not see the need for a second pronunciation. Furthermore, "Gae" is not a normal word and the IPA gives it as a "jeep" without the p, not "gay".

However, the IPA isn't fault free: that r is most likely non-rhotic in English —the r in "store" makes the o longer and isn't pronounced. --122.61.109.30 (talk) 03:27, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The spelling gae was a confusing and misleading attempt to explain the Ancient Greek pronunciation, which is completely unnecessary and irrelevant here. And when you click on the IPA, it takes you to Help:IPA_for_English, which explains why WP always shows rhotic pronunciation. --Espoo (talk) 20:46, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Consensus is that this term is not a common name. (closed by non-admin page mover) -- Dane ^talk 22:42, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Storge → Familial love – very rare term not even in most dictionaries, see onelook.com Espoo (talk) 19:50, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:45, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a longstanding article title, so it should be discussed.[1] — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:22, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The current name is a blatant violation of WP:COMMONNAME. The whole purpose of a manual of style is to not waste time discussing such obvious cases. --Espoo (talk) 20:34, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how this WP:TITLE question has anything to do with the WP:MOS. And WP:COMMONNAME is not something that can be "violated" – it's just one strategy for recognizability. Dicklyon (talk) 05:27, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence that the suggested target is the common name has been presented. Espoo's synthesis in the lead needs to be removed too. Espoo claims that storge isn't in most major English dictionaries. This might be true; however, using that as a reference for Familial love, very rarely called storge is combining multiple references to support a claim not explicitly stated by said sources. Storge is the most visited title, including redirects. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:04, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Espoo and JJMC89: Queried move request. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:45, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. We have articles on agape, philia and eros. These four Greek words, each of which may be translated "love", are not unknown in English, thanks largely to C. S Lewis's The Four Loves. Srnec (talk) 23:31, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per my comment above. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:04, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
