Article naming conventions
[edit]I'm not sure how much you've looked into the situation, but it seems that you have a misunderstanding about how things work at Wikipedia. No single editor has the authority to make decisions or changes to content. In the case of the discussion you mention, I acted as a referee only to keep things from getting out of hand (it was obviously a spirited discussion) and to figure out which proposal had the most community support. Wikipedia works by consensus which means here, the majority of editors that looked at the situation felt that Wikipedia should use the naming scheme currently in place. Given the effort required to reach a point where most editors were satisfied, it would be looked at very unfavorably if someone tried to re-start this debate without something major having changed. Since you're repeating the same arguments we've all heard before, it seems like that's not the case. I'd suggest if you'd like to contribute to Wikipedia that you'll want to learn your way around first before diving into such difficult waters. Shell babelfish 15:25, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
