MOS debate about capitalization

@General Ization: This is just a grammar thing, but can you explain what you mean by your revert here? I say that the object in the sentence is "Hu Jintao", with the title "General Secretary" akin to "Mister". The sentence is not "Jiang was succeeded as ~~general secretary~~ by Hu Jintao", as Hu was already ~~general secretary~~ in 2002-05. Where in MOS:JOBTITLE does it support your edit? Holidayruin (talk) 05:04, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, reading it again I made a mistake in this message I wrote here. As per MOS:JOBTITLE: "When a formal title for a specific entity (or conventional translation thereof) is addressed as a title or position in and of itself, is not plural, is not preceded by a modifier (including a definite or indefinite article), and is not a reworded description." My usage in the first message should have been "succeeded as General Secretary" (it's not "succeeded as the general secretary") and "Hu was already General Secretary" (it's not "Hu was already the general secretary" or "Hu was already Chinese general secretary").

My original point still stands though, it should be " being succeeded in these roles by General Secretary Hu Jintao" in the article. Holidayruin (talk) 05:18, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
