Hi I'm a very fresh 'beginner' in editing on Wikipedia. And I have a question In the English Wikipedia there is a page titled "House of Elzevir" Although it might be a phonetic correct 'translation' and also at present sometimes used by family members (descendants), the correct spelling - as used and in multiple historical literature, in official registries, and not in the least: by the family itself - is and has always been "Elsevier" and "Elzevier". So my proposal would be to change the title of the mentioned page in "House of Elsevier, Elzevier or Elzevir" or something similar. Is this possible and if yes how. Thanks DElsevier (talk) 23:12, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

In general, Wikipedia attempts to use the most commonly used name in the English language, even if it is not the official one. Please read Wikipedia's guidelines on article names: Wikipedia:Article titles Wikipedia:Article titles#English-language titles Wikipedia:Official names. If after reading you still think that the title should be changed, you should discuss the subject on the talk page of the article, and see what other editor think. I would also recommend leaving a note on talk pages of other articles with that name in the title to invite more editors to a discussion relating to so many articles.
