editNaming convention
editHi, I would just like to ask the proper naming convention on settlements. As far as I know, Village, Province format is used, unless there are two villages with the same name within the same province. In that case Village, District, Province would be used. Is this correct? Or am I missing something? (Central Data Bank (talk) 17:23, 17 October 2017 (UTC))
- If you're refering to Wikipedia naming conventions, it's complicated. Wikipedia settlement naming conventions generally vary depending on local use, and articles will have different titling conventions depending on where in the world the settlement is. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) is a rather large document, but you can probably find the convention for the part of the world you are working in. There are LOTS of subpages by country or region to help you out. --Jayron32 19:00, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
Hardware identification
editI am reupholstering seats on a boat, 2003 Sugar Sand Mirage. There is some rusted out hardware which i am having a hard time identifying. They are steel plug/clips which were pushed into a hole. Then a plastic post is pushed in and gripped by it. The headrest has the plastic posts extending from it and the main body of the chair has the holes. I would appreciate help naming this piece of hardware so I can source it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C4D5:DF60:B9EE:B3CA:FBFD:EF8E (talk) 21:14, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
