I think

[edit]

I think that comparing Andorra to a city in the Middle Earth is ridiculous and even insulting

To Tolkeen? A little. That said, it's definitely a misplaced analogy that violates UNDUE and TONE even if you don't consider it advertising. — LlywelynII 01:45, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Biumvirate?

[edit]

I feel there should be a redirect for "Biumvirate", since Bi comes before Tri, like in "Triumvirate" 173.55.173.211 (talk) 11:36, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New definition

[edit]

This article seems to give new meaning to the word as currently defined. If someone with more knowledge of word definitions could determine if original research has been incorporated into this article it would be appreciated. There are no references and the article has been tagged as such since 2008.My76Strat (talk) 00:07, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is solely WP:OR and it should be removed from Wikipedia and replaced by a redirect to diarchy, which is its complete and more common synonym. Duoviri isn't Latin or English. — LlywelynII 01:45, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ottomans

[edit]

In "The Ottoman centuries: the rise and fall of the Turkish empire" by Lord Kinross the term duumvirate is used to describe the early alliance between Napolean Bonaparte and Alexander I against the Ottoman Empire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djandersonza (talkcontribs) 06:38, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Odd reference

[edit]

The odd dictionary cited is so ancient it spells 'diagnostic' as 'diagnostick ' and places u after v in alphabetical order. For 'duumvirate' it only mentions the specifically Roman institution. The reference is so ancient as to be useless and there is no hint that the term can be applied to a variety of states or institutions. Gazzster (talk) 21:57, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merged

[edit]

To Diarchy. See the talk page there. — LlywelynII 01:47, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
