message: Why is this name being restored and the tag removed without getting explained? "Gallus Anonymus" means "the Frenchman who lacks a name". The Polonization of this, Gall Anonim, isn't of any prima facie relevance to the article. Please explain the relevance before removing the tag.

replies: text: Polonization of this name is very popular and thus a reason to be mentioned in the article. Or would you suggest in Warsaw we should remove Warszawa? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  13:14, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, because Warsaw is a city where Polish is spoken and Warszawa is what the city is called in Polish. Gallus Anonymus is not even a real name of a theoretical non-Polish person who lived before the Polish language and who is never called by this name in English, the language of the encyclopedia. Unless someone explains the relevance of it, I'll have to reinsert it. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 13:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Polish version is used in hundreds of English works (). I am afraid that no matter how much it offends you, it is relevant enough to stay.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  13:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is used only by Polish authors writing in English or by English authors exhibiting the same misunderstanding its inclusion in the lead in that manner is likely to perpetuate. If it is in the article because it is used in English, it should be written and bolded as an alternative. And why exactly would it offend me? Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 13:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

text:  Now that you agree that the variant is common enough to be included, I'd appreciate your thoughts on how to convey to the readers that it is a Polish spelling variant.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  18:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is why further down I inserted a sentence explaining that the name was transformed into Gall Anonim in modern Polish. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 00:30, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why not use the common :Template:Lang-pl? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  02:11, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Because that template implies that the name is relevant because it is Polish (such as the Polish name from Warsaw or for Sigismund the Old), rather than because this Poloninization of a Latin term is widespread in English. I think this is what it would imply to most users.Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 02:15, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Is it correct English?Xx236 (talk) 14:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct English would be "born in Italy", "born in Italian" looks like some weird Anglo-German pigeon and doesn't make sense. :) Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 00:31, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
