"Lega Nord" v. "Northern League"[edit]
From my talk page:
Hi Checco, I'm sorry to see that you are almost engaging in an edit war with me on Lega Nord Umbria. I stand by my statement that "Northern League" is how the party should be named in the texts of the articles on English Wikipedia. Your comment that the article Lega Nord is "virtually linked everywhere" with the Italian name is actually false: I see prominent Lega Nord-related articles (see Matteo Salvini, List of political parties in Italy, 2018 Italian general election and many more) where "League" or "Northern League" is used. Also, the fact that the page Lega Nord has the Italian name was discussed already in the past and the decision was to keep it in Italian because of the natural disambiguation with Northern League, and not because the party does not have an WP:ESTABLISHED name in English (which indeed has). Therefore I think that, even though the article's name is Lega Nord, in this case nothing justifies to suddenly switch to Italian words in the text of English-language Wikipedia articles. --Ritchie92 (talk) 20:33, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
I do not like to use user talks, thus I am answering to you here. My argument is quite simple: as long as the article is named "Lega Nord", it should be linked that way. It has always been so until the party was re-branded as "Lega" and I am just defending an established use. "List of political parties in Italy" was just an exception. I am much open to a broader discussion on the issue, as well as another proposed move of "Lega Nord" to "Northern League (Italy)". --Checco (talk) 20:49, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- The article name has nothing to do with how one should refer to the topic in the text of other articles, which is indeed in English. In this case there is no reason to not use English on English Wikipedia. --Ritchie92 (talk) 07:16, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- I disagree and frankly do not understand your point. I think it is quite the opposite and I personally comply with article's names. I disagree on the naming on the articles on "Italia Viva" and "Cambiamo!", but I adopt those names when citing the parties in other articles. As long as the article on Lega Nord is named "Lega Nord", we should refer to the party primarily as "Lega Nord".--Checco (talk) 09:04, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- What you are saying is not true. Anyway I moved this discussion on Talk:Lega Nord. --Ritchie92 (talk) 09:09, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
