Kentucky Colonel

It does have a plural form, as a simple Google Books search will show you; and we don't use "Title" as a header, because headers are grammatical things (parts of speech) like "Noun" and "Verb". Equinox ◑ 21:20, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Well Equinox ◑ I believe it would have been a better collaboration if you were to fix my entry rather than to simply revert it, especially considering my edit was made in good faith which you are obviously not assuming or understanding! There is no plural form of the "thing" Kentucky Colonel the "title". There is a such thing as several "Kentucky colonels" that are human persons which the Wiktionary entry does not refer to, or if you were referring to an organization such as the "Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels" or perhaps the registered trademark "Kentucky Colonels" which all the same is not the topic of this Wiktionary entry in reference to the title! If I knew more about Wiktionary I probably would have done a better job, so I will do more research as to how Wiktionary works before making any other edits. No thanks are currently due! Now the entry is even more botched up than it ever was before I started.

I see you moved Kentucky colonels to Kentucky Colonels, I am sorry but there is no entry for Colonels which reinforces what I tried to show by distinguishing the difference between the title and the person. In reference to the title it is grammatically impossible to use "Kentucky Colonels" in a sentence when referring to the title. When talking about the people who become Kentucky colonels the word "colonels" is expressed in lower case because it is referring to the indistinct person.

In reality there are four separate word terms we should be considering for this definition which are all related to the same thing!

1. Kentucky colonel or Kentucky colonels referring to specific unnamed people who have received the award or recognized with the honorable title.
3. Kentucky Colonel referring to the title or the proper name of the actual award.
5. Kentucky Colonels which is part of the name of various organizations that have people who have received the award.
7. Kentucky Colonels which is a trademark that refers to cigars, barbecue sauce, chocolate candies, and t-shirts.

Your help would and consideration would be appreciated regarding this, I see you are better qualified than I am to make this a better entry, but really it is worse now than it was. If you help let me know by email and I will nominate you to become a Kentucky colonel! Problemsmith (talk) 22:20, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Equinox ◑ you might also consider if you decide to actually improve the definition on Wiktionary, that there are also some sports teams and have been several music groups that use Kentucky Colonels as their proper name, this however has nothing to do with the actual honorable title or the specific definition?
