Marshal of Nobility[edit]

I fail to understand your objection. What should the main article on the chairman of the Nobility be called? I undestand that Lord Marshal is the general article, as we also have Lantmarskalk and redirects Marshal of Dvoryanstvo and Lantmarskalks of the Finnish House of Nobility. If you have an objection on the name of the article, we should consider a rename to a more general term. -- Petri Krohn 00:11, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My first and foremost objection is absence of valid references in "Lord Marshal" article.
Second. It is generally very bad idea to mix very different things into one article.
Third, there is no Lord Marshal in Russian history.

I understand that much confusion may be caused by translation of the national terms into English, especially in older times. For example, Russian "predvoditel dvoryanstva" is translated as "marshal of nobility". However "dvoryanstvo" is not exactlky corresponds to the term "nobility", and while "predvoditel" is normally corresponds the the meaning Marshal#Ceremonial, today it would be transslated as "chairman". Now, a question: what English term is normally used to translate "Lantmarskalk" and what is the literary translation of the term ("lant+marskalk")? `'юзырь:mikka 01:18, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
