No offense meant, but this is exceptionally poor reasoning. The fact remains: the school's name is not Wesleyan University; it is Ohio Wesleyan University. The foreign language pages about Ohio Wesleyan University should reflect the proper name of the university. Misleadingly, these foreign language pages reflect the name of an arguably more well-known university in Connecticut. Also, the OWU foreign language pages occupy pages that should belong to Wesleyan University in CT, or at the very least, disambig page. Frankly, for foreign language Wikipedians, this misnaming might also engender confusion with one of the other 25 (approx.) universities in the U.S.A. named Wesleyan (i.e. Virginia, Texas, etc.) Recall that foreign language users might not be as familiar with America's myriad Wesleyans as English speakers. After all, Wesleyan University is not a household word, like Harvard or Oxford... Seriously, do you expect, for example, Indonesian readers to be "completely familiar" with Wesleyan U, or Ohio Wesleyan U? In conclusion, we must rename the pages. Foreign language experts, let's get on it. 24.2.244.245 05:11, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As to your reasoning abilities, I apologize. Regarding the titles of the foreign Wiki pages, I disagree with you. My concern stems from this: I attempt to begin a Wesleyan University page in a foreign language, but find that a page titled Wesleyan University already exists for Ohio Wesleyan University. Result: I cannot create the foreign language Wesleyan U. page for my school. Secondly, I'm concerned that foreign language Wikipedians searching for Wesleyan University, intending to read about Wesleyan U., unintentionally read about Ohio Wesleyan U. In conclusion title the Ohio Wesleyan pages Wesleyan University of Ohio if you'd like, but please don't title them Wesleyan University (without a modifier,) and please don't redirect searches for 'Wesleyan University' to 'Wesleyan U. of Ohio' pages. 24.2.244.245 22:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
