Arguments against WPJOBTITLES
G'day, in August of 2021, my attention was drawn to an extremely absurd oddity within Wikipedia.
That oddity was the Policy of WP:JOBTITLES (WPJT).
I will shorten the policy to WPJT for ease of use.
Guide:
() = Wikilinks
{} = Article
Let me show you two examples of this policy.
- Richard Nixon was the president of the United States
- Richard Nixon was a president of the United States
Lets break it down in my interpretation.
- (Richard Nixon) was {the} (president of the United States)
- (Richard Nixon) was {a} (president) of the (United States)
In my opinion, WPJT applies to the last example, as it describes a non descript president. However, the first example is specifying a specific title/office. This is because the specific articles changes how the sentence is constructed. With another example this can be explained, for instance:
- (Scott Morrison) is {the} (prime minister)
- (Scott Morrison) is {a} (prime minister)
These two make grammatical sense, but one makes more sense in Wikipedia. In my opinion the latter sentence would be right as it describes that he is a prime minister; that is his job. The former, does make sense, however, if the viewer does not know what country you are talking about - its a moot point: that contribution has failed to live up to this encyclopedia's expectations. Let me expand this example:
- Scott Morrison is the prime minister of Australia
- Scott Morrison is a prime minister of Australia
Officially, the title of the 'office' of the prime minister (reason for quotations is due to whether the prime minister actually exists (he does exist just legal debate)) is the 'Prime Minister of Australia'. If we expand the preceding linguistic argument then the first would include this official title whereas the latter would not. Additionally there a not multiple prime ministers of Australia inhabiting the Governor-General's favour.
I propose that if is a descript title or office of a single current serving person, or similar historical position, that WPJT change its position to allow capitalisation. If still non descript or refering to multiple positions in the country or world, keep the current system.
