Unless he is known in English as Felofei, he should be moved to Felofey. The move doesn't require an admin, but I would rather wait to check whether anyone knows which name prevails in English (if there is one). -Irpen 02:26, 15 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Filofei seems to be reasonably well established, although the correct English translation is Philotheus, of course. On Google search, Philotheus yields 12,900 hits (mostly unrelated to Russia), Filofei - 433, Filofey - 259, Philopheus - 44, and Felofey (as proposed by you) - 1 hit. --Ghirlandajo 21:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Well, of course I meant Filofey (Felofey was a typo). I checked Britannica. It calls him "Philotheus (Filofei's)" in the Russian literature article and Philotheus of Pskov in the Eastern Orthodoxy article. I suggest to move it to Philotheus of Pskov and have the rest as redirects. How about that? --Irpen 03:36, 16 October 2005 (UTC) OK, since no one is objecting, I will then move it to [[Philotheus of Pskov. Last chance to raise objections. --Irpen 01:29, 10 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
