"Name issue"

The woman is Inner Mongolian, so she has ONE name. Giving both Chinese and international naming conventions, that name might (in a procrustean manner) have to be split into two parts from time to time. Figuring out whether the first part of the name was "minggan" 'thousand' or "mönggön" 'silver' took me some time, but the author of a paper in Monggul-un sudulul 2010/3: 44-46 is called Mönggönquvar, in Chinese rendering 孟根花, which settles the issue in favor of "mönggön". So her original name is “Mönggönjimis” ᠮᠥᠩᠭᠥᠨᠵᠢᠮᠢᠰ (pronounced /mɵŋgɵntʃims/) 'silver fruit'. When breaking it up morphemically, it becomes Menggen 'silver' Jimis 'fruit', but when applying Mandarin one-syllable surname conventions, it becomes "Meng Genjimisu" (which cannot be assigned any meaning anymore). As neither of this reflects her actual name, her page should be located at "Mönggönjimis" or "Menggenjimisu". G Purevdorj (talk) 07:28, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What a wonderful insight into another culture. Thank you. I can move it to a single name and have indirects to address the common ways that she has referred to in English journalism. You refer to the "disinformation" :-) box. Is there an example that I could work from or do I need an expert in thransliteration. I would quite like to put her name in (as?) the DYK hook, but I suspect I may need to jpeg it so that it could be formatted in an efficient way on the main page. Do you think this is a good idea? Victuallers (talk) 09:10, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:G Purevdorj, thanks for your prompt assistance with this. Since her Mongolian name isn't sourced and isn't used in English sources, the pinyin transliteration should remain the title. However, the current title Genjimisu Meng, with European name order and possibly random spacing should be changes. Barring further information, Menggenjimisu is best in this case. — AjaxSmack 16:35, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Victuallers: jpeg-s for all Mongolian names are quite annoying. With the spread of fonts that contain Mongolian script, MongolUnicode codings might do the trick. Ajax: basically agree. Unwatching this page. G Purevdorj (talk) 08:29, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suspected that jpegs might be contentious, but so might the vertical text on the main page without some formatting control. Maybe we canwork out a way next time as I would like to see us show off the Mongolian script now that we can display it. I'm happy with Ajax's suggestion. Ideally, need to make the change quickly as the article is now approved for the front page. Victuallers (talk) 09:04, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

F40 link issue

In the sentence "There she won a gold medal in the F40 discus and a silver medal in the women's F40 shot put event.", F40 links to a disambiguation page where none of the three options look correct. Is there a F40 (Paralympics) page, or a broader Paralympic classifications page, for this to link to instead? Sven Manguard Wha? 07:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
