Talk:Q1266283

I have reverted this to read 'Senior Lecturer' rather than 'Professor'. If a separate item for 'Professor' is needed, that can be created (though it appears some already exist). I believe this should stay as 'Senior Lecturer' because:

1: It has read 'Senior Lecturer' for some time. Note that Senior Lecturer and Professor are not equivalent academic ranks in most of Europe, where professorship denotes particular seniority. Changing from 'Senior Lecturer' to 'Professor' would therefore mean most items referencing this were no longer correctly described.

2: The associated Freebase ID is also for a 'Senior Lecturer', not 'Professor'.

Are you ok with the french (Professeur titulaire) and german (Titularprofessor) sitelinks in this item? --Infovarius (talk) 21:21, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect the issue may be the same, but I'm not confident enough in either language to be sure, I'm afraid. AmW22 (talk) AmW22 (talk) 16:04, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While working on German and English articles on Lecturer and Senior Lecturer, I noticed the same thing. Titularprofessor (person who is allowed to call themselves Professor) is differnt from Senior Lecturer, an academic rank that has been established in German-speaking academia over the past few years.

The problem is that the German article Lecturer covers both Lecturer and Senior lecturer, whereas there are two separate English articles Lecturer and Senior Lecturer. An automated message suggested a merge, but I am not experienced enough to implement this. Altarbasenstickfreie (talk) 14:25, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
