User talk:195.124.114.37
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please do not go around changing 'Braunschweig' to 'Brunswick'. Consensus was that 'Brunswick' has largely fallen out of favor with English speakers when referring to the German city; discuss at Talk:Braunschweig. If you continue, it will be regarded as vandalism and you may be banned from Wikipedia. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 13:41, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

- Which is not authoritative in regards to Wikipedia naming. That an English name for a city exists does not require us to be using that name. If you disagree with our general use of Braunschweig, please discuss. Note that another factor is that there are several other places named "Brunswick" which need disambiguation, while Braunschweig is unique. Thanks, —Matthew Brown (T:C) 13:56, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- The only city of this name I know is the city of Brunswick in Germany. I see no problem with a disambiguation page. Also, maybe you should try convincing us to abandon all english names for places in Wikipedia and to use only native names. Do you really think this is sensible, or do you just have something against Brunswick? Either way, it would interest me to know how you expect native English speakers to manage the German name?! 195.124.114.37 14:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- 'Braunschweig' seems to be in fairly common use in the news media in recent times. As to the latter point, I am a native English speaker and have no problems with it. There is, anyway, an overall trend towards greater use of original names rather than English versions, it seems. You would do better trying to convince others to adopt this change than making wholesale changes on your own, in any case. Thanks, —Matthew Brown (T:C) 14:36, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Immanuel Cunt
I see you vandalized Immanuel Kant so that he became a Cunt rather than a Kant. Please don't vandalize Wikipedia. Thanx. — Rickyrab | Talk 17:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC) (but "Immanuel Cunt" would go over better on Uncyclopedia) — Rickyrab | Talk 17:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
