How to change article title?
[edit]Raymond Quevedo's stage name is spelled "Atilla the Hun," not "Attila the Hun," the common spelling for the historical figure. I don't know how to change the article title.
The VIAF authority entry is incorrect; the MusicBrainz is correct. -- Rick — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rickprelinger (talk • contribs) 16:10, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- I moved the article to Atilla the Hun (calypso singer). "Calypso singer" will be more understandable to most than "Calypsonian." Ecphora (talk) 14:47, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- But "Calypsonian" is the correct term. A calypso singer is someone who performs calypsos. A calypsonian is a composer and performer with a specific social role. The two terms are not interchangable. James Fryer (talk) 09:30, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- I undid the move, which was done without discussion. James Fryer is correct - there is a difference between a calypsonian and a calypso singer, and Atilla clearly was the former. The original name also has the advantage of being slightly more concise. Anyway, now that the redirect exists, people will be able to find either one easily.
