Why is this hidden away in oblivion with Martin Cech a redlink? Gene Nygaard 17:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Article title edit

The policy as spelled out at Wikipedia:Article titles requires that the article title is to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This applies to the title of the article – but within the text of the article, pursuant to WP:MOSBIO, the person's legal name should usually appear first in the article. I trust that explains the current Wikipedia policy as it relates to this issue. Dolovis (talk) 13:47, 21 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

On the contrary, as the interwiki link on the history of the French page fr.Martin Čech shows, this was created at en.Martin Čech and at en.Martin Čech for 4 years until User Dolovis came along and made this edit and edit summary:

There was no "controversial move" and WP:MOSPN#Diacritics supports use of diacritics with Czech names. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:57, 20 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Martin CechMartin Čech – over redirect. I only just noticed this one. This bio won't be covered by the current tightening of Living Persons names accuracy proposal at WT:BLP since Čech died in a car crash in 2007. See page history.In ictu oculi (talk) 23:21, 20 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

  • Comment. The redirect was not "gamed". The reason non-admins can't move over it because of this edit from HandsomeFella, an undoubtedly pro-diacritcs editor. Jenks24 (talk) 00:14, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Point taken, sorry, certainly wasn't aimed at HandsomeFella, gamed struck from proposal. "See page history" will cover other concerns. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:58, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support for accuracy and pronunciation information. -- P.T. Aufrette (talk) 00:16, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per P.T. Aufrette. Properly anglizied it would be "Chech" or some variant, not "Cech". --Bejnar (talk) 00:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support; more accurate spelling. Doremo (talk) 12:54, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support - Accuracy is important and cheap. AlexTiefling (talk) 20:41, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support; move to a more accurate spelling. bobrayner (talk) 07:36, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
