Restaurant

Is it true that Eddie's restaurant in Columbus,Ohio is on a 27 degree angle? I heard that from someone and it would be interesting to put that in the article if it can be verified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrCrusader (talk • contribs) 20:46, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Ohio State University

I changed a couple references to Eddie George's alma mater from "Ohio State University" to "The Ohio State University," but I was reverted. I am reinstating the "The," and here's why: ". . . in 1878 . . . the Ohio legislature changed the name to the now-familiar "The Ohio State University." (Quote taken from the Wikipedia article on OSU.)

The name of the university is The Ohio State University. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruiserid (talk • contribs) 07:18, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops! I cut the quote referencing the Ohio legislature (above) before the punchline about the "official" name. Here it is, again: ". . . in 1878 . . . the Ohio legislature changed the name to the now-familiar "The Ohio State University", with "The" as part of its official name. Bruiserid (talk) 07:33, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruiserid: Sorry, what's the title of our Wikipedia article on the university in question? Lizard (talk) 07:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Lizard the Wizard: The title of the Wikipedia article is "Ohio State University," but as far as I'm concerned, that's in error also, although I wouldn't get in an argument with the authors. I'm sure you were able to find it. I'm not sure if you're implying that because the title of the Wikipedia article sacrifices the "The," we should, too. Perhaps you'll be back here to tell me. Best, Bruiserid (talk) 10:28, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Lizard the Wizard: P.S.: As an aside, what got me here to begin with to read about Eddie George was having seen him on "Inside the NFL"; he's quite the guy, and when discussing himself and Zeke Elliott, he refers to their having attended "The Ohio State University." I figure if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for his article. Best, Bruiserid (talk) 10:37, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruiserid: The article is entitled Ohio State University because that's the common name that the university is known by. A common misconception among editors is that the official name of a university (or any other organization) is what the article must be titled. This is not the case. Otherwise the article on China would be "The People's Republic of China." Whatever is the most commonly rendered form in independent sources is what we go by. Ohio State alumni may call it "The Ohio State," but the rest of the world calls it "Ohio State," and that's all that matters. Lizard (talk) 16:35, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Lizard the Wizard: Hmmm . . . I'm not sure who the editors are who have any conception at all as to what articles "must" be titled -- certainly not I. As to what is "all that matters," and what " 'we' go by" -- is that you, them, the "royal we," or what? I was unaware that Wikipedia had a one-man we-committee calling the balls and strikes. By all means, though: continue on using what's called the "majestic plural" -- it seems to fit. Best, Bruiserid (talk) 00:28, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
