<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
<br>
I have reverted a series of consecutive edits by user "Bgo eiu" to the <br>
"Names" page on the Wiki. I felt that these edits were, in their <br>
entirety, too far-reaching to be made without an explicit community <br>
consensus.<br>
<br>
The edits I have reverted include:<br>
<br>
* far-reaching changes to the "avoid transliterations" section, <br>
including changing the title to "avoid uninformed transliterations", and <br>
changing the logic from "transliterations are unwanted, except in some <br>
cases" to "transliterations are widely accepted and used, and only <br>
become an issue when uninformed or machine generated"<br>
<br>
* the removal of an explicit request to not add name:xx tags duplicating <br>
the original name tag<br>
<br>
I am not saying these edits were entirely wrong, I just felt they were <br>
too bold to be made without a discussion here.<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
Frederik<br>
