[edit] Argentinian
User:Stemonitis revert my edit, with an edit summary "wait for the WP:RM to finish".
As I pointed out in reverting it, the choice of which name gets the one slot for an article name doesn't change the fact that he was a Hungarian-born Argentinian.
However, there is also an additional reason not to wait for the RM. It is irrelevant in any case. The Wikipedia:Naming conventions guideline specifically provides:
- "The current title of a page is not intended to imply that either the title name is preferred or the alternative name is discouraged in the text of articles. The article title should also not be used as a precedent for the naming of any other articles. Editors are strongly discouraged from editing for the sole purpose of changing one controversial name to another."
So where that article ends up doesn't determine the spelling here, where we are specifically dealing with the pens that weren't commercially produced until he was in Argentina, in any case. Gene Nygaard 17:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
