Tyrannicides

The word "tyrannicide" means the killing of a tyrant, not a tyrant who kills people. "Tyrannicide is the killing or assassination of a tyrant usually for the common good." I am taking the Roman emperors out of that category, somebody else can worry about the rest of them but the articles in the category should be about the people who killed Caligula for instance, not Caligula himself.Smeat75 (talk) 13:07, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have examined and removed all the other cases. It is possible that somewhere in all the Star Wars novels and comics, Palpatine does himself kill a tyrant but that would be recondite trivia; we would not normally categorise him as a tyrrannicide and we shouldn't in Wikipedia either. Other cases that you added included regicides who were not tyrannicides and people who came to power in bloodless coups; none of the people you added were distinguished as tyrannicides.

I meant that these people were victims of tyrannicides, that is to say, tyrants who were killed. If you think I should include people who killed tyrants instead, I could do that. --Morgenstern91 (talk) 16:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adding people to the category will usually be in breach of Wikipedia's core policies, particularly neutral point of view, as it will mean describing the people killed as tyrants, a pejorative label for all periods and locales except early-to-mid Classical Greece. You've already demonstrated that problem in claiming that King Claudius is a tyrant. You claim Julius Caesar is a tyrant, as Brutus is said to have claimed with his "Sic semper tyrannis"; will you also accept John Wilkes Booth's use of that phrase? Please stop.

I apologise. --Morgenstern91 (talk) 10:23, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

I believe we may have met. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Really? When? --Morgenstern91 (talk) 10:21, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Scar category?

You know, it is edit warring if you continue adding the category without explanation. Please give your rationale; otherwise please remove it yourself.Forbidden User (talk) 08:12, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

July 2015

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to The Guardian. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a good deal of freedom in what you write. Mezigue (talk) 15:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, sorry. I couldn't resist the urge. --Morgenstern91 (talk) 13:22, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, really, he's a notable former student. I went to school with him there. --Morgenstern91 (talk) 08:59, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
