Talk:Mediatization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Speling of mediati*ation?

does anyone have a reference for whether this should be spelled "mediatization" or "mediatisation", or whether it's another of those pesky UK/US differences?

[edit] Attitudes in the UK

The article claims that "Morganatic marriage does not exist in English law, and the British royal family and British aristocracy, while traditionally concerned with rank, often adopted a far more flexible attitude"

However, in article Princess_Louise,_Duchess_of_Argyll we find this: "Louise viewed marriage to any prince as undesirable, and announced that she wished to marry John Campbell, the Marquess of Lorne, heir to the Duke of Argyll. No such marriage, between a daughter of a Sovereign and a British subject, had been given official recognition since 1515, when Charles Brandon, the first Duke of Suffolk, married Mary Tudor.[3] "

It seems that, barring new references to support the claims in Mediatization, the claims about the attitudes of the UK monarchy that are not supported. Four hundred years without a recognized marriage between a royal and subject, does not support the claim of the royals specifically having "often adopted a far more flexible attitude". Perhaps the paragrpah needs to be edited to speak solely about the aristocracy and NOT the royals.

[edit] Article name

I think the page Mediatization should be renamed Mediatization (history), and the phrase 'defined broadly' should be removed, as it wrongly gives the impression that this is the most common use of the noun 'mediatization'. In the English language, few have heard of this originally German historical concept.

I have moved your contributions to Mediatization (media) and restored the old content. This article has about 40 backlinks (see here): all of them are related to princely states, none are related to media studies. -- Petri Krohn 02:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your explanation. But I think you have not responded to my suggestion. Is there any reason why this article should not be renamed and the phrase 'defined broadly' removed?

The new article Mediatization (media) is still orphan, lacking any backlinks in article space. You should start by inserting links to relevant articles. So far, I see no proof that media studies is the main use of the word mediatization. -- Petri Krohn 00:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Louise was Queen Victoria's daughter, not granddaughter. 70.249.44.89 (talk) 04:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
