Just why don't any of you make an attempt at translation?
editI could go to thousands of Wikipedia sites, and I never see the "local names", in any language, translated or mentioned in their English counter part! Just why is this so? Is it intellentucal laziness? Or is it done to make research only the reserve of the "super eductated?" I thought that Wikipedia was designed to make the exploration of history, more available to the average person? But, perhaps I am wrong? The real truth seems to be that it is beyond most of you!96.19.156.227 (talk) 21:19, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Ronald L. Hughes
- Not sure what your problem is. "Palma Giovane" is the correct name to use under WP:COMMONNAME; it is what you are most likely to find on museum labels in English-speaking countries etc. Note that "Jacopo Palma il Giovane" is what the Italian Wikipedia call their article. You won't find "Palma the Younger" used in English much in the last 100 years. Johnbod (talk) 12:05, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
