Funny stuff

An IP did this and informed us thus, shouting one of the words:

translate image caption from Swedish, since this is the ENGLISH Wikipedia

Problem is that h/s changed the names to Latin and Swedish, while what h/s changed from was a traditional English alternate spelling of the king's name and established English exonyms for the queen's. WP work can be pretty doggone funny. Anyway... --SergeWoodzing (talk) 01:39, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Traditional in what way? Gustavus Adolphus is traditionally known in English as Gustavus Adolphus, isn't he? "Mary Eleanor" is a bit odd, to say the least. She hasn't been referred to as Mary Eleanor since the 18th century, and even then she was more often called Maria Eleonora. Also woth noting might be that the English queen Henrietta Maria of France was not called Henrietta Mary. Surtsicna (talk) 07:15, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You totally missed my point and are arguing things that are not in dispute. I wrote "a traditional English alternate spelling of the king's name" [my bold] (Gustav Adolph) and that's exactly what that was. I didn't complain about the edit itself. I just thought the shouted word "ENGLISH" was funny, since that's exactly what the IP did not change the names to. Linguistically speaking, h/s changed all 4 of them from standard English to standard Latin and standard Swedish, which is OK by WP. I'm used to seeing what I consider sensible (if you don't mind my having my own opinion) name versions changed, and I don't fight it. But it has been one of the less pleasant parts of my WP experience. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 08:38, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
