Mōtung:Ælfred Micela
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What should this page be called? I think it should be 'Ælfréd of Englalande' or whatever the OE equivalent for 'Alfred of England' is.
I suppose Ælfréd will do; we won't run into ambiguity because any modern people we find called 'Alfred' (e.g. Batman's butler) should be entered as 'Alfred', not Ælfréd.
In any case, it should not be just 'King Alfred'. Giving the title of every ruler or noble as the article name will become very cumbersome very quickly, which is why in English wikipedia Queen Victoria is called en:Victoria of the United Kingdom. --Saforrest 01:21, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- This particular person should be called "Ælfréd se Gréata" and the page should be moved there. There are (I think) two links to such an article. If there are modern day people named Alfred, we'll simply refer to them as "Ælfred" - no confusion with the kings. But I agree that simply saying "Ælfréd cyning" is not sufficient, which is why the pages under the "Getalu Brytiscra þéodcyninga" are linked without that word. --James 23:01, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
