Article title[edit]

The policy as spelled out at Wikipedia:Article titles requires that the article title is to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This applies to the title of the article – but within the text of the article, pursuant to WP:MOSBIO, the person's legal name should usually appear first in the article. I trust that explains the current Wikipedia policy as it relates to this issue. Dolovis (talk) 13:11, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Jafeluv (talk) 11:22, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Miroslav Blaťák → Miroslav Blatak – Contrary to WP:BLP, WP:AT and WP:EN, this article was moved to a non-English title that is not verified by any sources used in the article. Dolovis (talk) 03:41, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and the best we can do is to prevent English readers to familiarize with the accents in non-English proper names and to access correct and undistorted information :) Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 06:40, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to Vejvančický: Please remember that all we are discussing moving the article's TITLE back to its original English form. This applies to the title of the article only – within the text of the article, pursuant to WP:MOSBIO, the person's legal name should usually appear first in the article. Dolovis (talk) 12:14, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to Vejvančický: We are not trying to teach English speakers foreign alphabets that they are not familiar with. Otherwise we might as well call Tokyo 東京. I'm afraid most people will read Blatak as "blattack" whether you stick the squiggles in or not. And they will likely copy it down as Blatak. --Bermicourt (talk) 18:16, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose for several reasons: Accuracy (as the proposed title is arguably a grammatical error or misspelling), consistency (as per standard practice with personal names in this language), the recommendations of style guides, the practice in other English-language encyclopedias such as Britannica, harmlessness (as the diacriticless spelling is deducible from the proper name, but not vice versa), pronunciation guidance, informativeness (as our primary purpose as an encyclopedia is to educate the readers by providing accurate, complete and trustworthy information) and respect (as people usually want their name spelled right and knowingly misspelling a living person's name is both unencyclopedic and unethical).

  • Oppose - I don't see any established English usage of any value. Simply a few web sites. Player has not played in English countries. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 19:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose No English language sources to support a move, at present.

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Note: The article was moved to diacritics without an RM, on July 14. The article should've been moved back to 'non-diacritics' & then an RM should've been held. Hopefully, this will occur in the future with other player articles. GoodDay (talk) 18:47, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the article was moved by Dolovis on June 21st stripping off the diacritics. My "move" was not a move it was fixing a copy paste move to correct the article history. And even if it wasn't it would have been BRD of Dolovis's move. The article was created originally with diacritics. -DJSasso (talk) 13:23, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
According to the article's history. Darwinek, moved it to diacritics on May 1st, 2009. GoodDay (talk) 03:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Look closer at the history. What he did was correct the diacritic, it already had diacritics. -DJSasso (talk) 03:20, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My eyes must be failing me. I can usually spot diacritics a mile away. GoodDay (talk) 03:27, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
