Moving names back to English spelling

In order to reduce forking, I would direct interested parties' attention to the discussion at Talk:List of Polish monarchs. --Elonka 03:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was pointed earler that a proposed Naming Convention is a much better place to discuss the naming issue then a list page. Oh, and note that your proposed version is only one of many optional English spellings we can use, and the current ones are also used in English publications, so they qualify as English, too.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 04:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There has been this attempt to create a naming system specifically for Polish monarchs (but it is just a proposal and never received consensus), against the system used for other European monarchs. There is also the fact that most Polish monarchs now are located in places which contravene to general naming convention. There is no consensus for permission to use an exception for Polish monarchs, and such permission should be sought from consensus atWikipedia talk:Naming conventions (names and titles) where there is the thread Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (names and titles)#Need of particular exception/ convention for Polish monarchs. At that spot there are editors who are more or less experienced in overall picture of monarch naming and not only one country. It is deception to advertise any system for naming before a consensus there is convinced of the need for such exception. I hope all of you continue the naming scheme discussion for Polish monarchs there, before continuing or creating policy forks. Shilkanni 13:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
