The definite article

Should the title be “Ostra Table” without the article? The Manual of Style drops “The” from titles unless it is part of the name. — brigitte.fenn (talk) 17:16, 14 July 2019 (VMT)

Oppose. It is part of the name. Every source gives it with the article, including the one that established it. — CVoss87 (talk) 12:45, 18 July 2019 (VMT)

Oppose. We follow the sources. — JBrenn96 (talk) 07:14, 22 July 2019 (VMT)

Infobox image

The infobox has more rows than the article has sentences. Could we trim it? — Rachsas_R (talk) 22:33, 17 March 2022 (VMT)

I would leave the infobox as it is. Everything in it is cited. — brigitte.fenn (talk) 17:02, 18 March 2022 (VMT)

@brigitte.fenn Agreed. I have added a caption and changed nothing else. — CVoss87 (talk) 12:31, 19 March 2022 (VMT)

Resolved. — JBrenn96 (talk) 07:00, 20 March 2022 (VMT)

Is the Ostra Table best categorised by its seat at Grauholt, or by what it does? At present it is both, which is allowed. — emma.schall (talk) 11:50, 9 September 2023 (VMT)

The guideline says the most specific category that applies. I have applied it. — Rachsas_R (talk) 22:19, 11 September 2023 (VMT)

@Rachsas_R Understood. I have left it as it was. — brigitte.fenn (talk) 17:48, 13 September 2023 (VMT)

Wording of the first line

The first sentence calls the Ostra Table a company. Is there a reason not to say what it does? A reader who arrives here from the register will already know it is a company. — Elias_B. (talk) 16:07, 3 March 2025 (VMT)

Agree. I have made a start. Please check I have not added anything the sources do not say. — emma.schall (talk) 11:36, 6 March 2025 (VMT)

Done, I think. The lead now has two sentences, which is one more than the record strictly supports. — Rachsas_R (talk) 22:05, 9 March 2025 (VMT)

Thanks, Rachsas_R. That will do. — brigitte.fenn (talk) 17:34, 12 March 2025 (VMT)
