Tiger II and naming

Look, you really are going against consensus on this matter. Taking out a well-sourced statement without support is not on. If you think there's a valid argument then supply references to back this up. There's room to discuss this on the existing section on the article talk page but just carrying on like this and reverting all the time is putting yourself the wrong side of Wikipedia:Edit warring.

If you notice the talk, it is filled with quite a few very thorough arguments that the actual, literal translation for the word "Königstiger" is "Royal Tiger". Because of the fact that Germans refer to "Panthera Tigris Tigris" (which we call "Bengal Tiger") as "Königstiger" that "Königstiger" translates to "Bengal Tiger." The proper german word for "Bengal tiger" is "Bengaltiger".

So YES "Königstiger" means "Bengal Tiger" because the Germans call "panthera tigris tigris" the "Royal Tiger"

Are you going to deny that, too, just because some person wrote a single line in a book saying otherwise? Or do you need me to list every single book in which it is written that the translation of "Königstiger" is "King Tiger" as citations?

What good is it doing to discuss it on the page when people who claim that "Königstiger" ONLY translates to "Bengal Tiger" just shove their fingers in their ears and sing "la la la" whenever anyone ever says anything to the contrary. Every "rebuttal" to "Königstiger" meaning anything OTHER than "Bengal Tiger" is simply: "Königstiger" means "Bengal Tiger!".

YES "Königstiger" means "Bengal Tiger" simply because the Germans call "Panthera Tigris Tigris" "Königstiger". We call "Panthera Tigris Tigris" "Bengal Tiger". However, our name for "Panthera tigris tigris" means to "Tiger from the land of Bengal". The German name for "Panthera Tigris Tigris" means to "Royal Tiger"

Are you going to provide any actual information that says that "Königstiger" translates to "Tiger from the land of Bengal", other than a single line in a single book written by a man who didn't know German?

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Tiger II. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. (Hohum ^@) 21:43, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
