Talk:Komnenos

message: All other Byzantine dynasties are under their "surname", without the word "dynasty". A redirect here is barring the move. Maed 21:51, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Shouldn't it be Komneni, that is plural?--Aldux 11:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The plural of Komnenos is Komnenoi. If you Latinise it as Comnenus the plural is Comneni. Alan 19:35, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: n. 11 on p. 36 of the Penguin Classics (paperback 1979) version of E.R.A. Sewter's translation of "The Alexiad of Anna Comnena" has "The family came originally from Comne, near Hadrianople". This footnote was clarifying a reference to Alexius's grandfather's city which it has as Kastamouni, and additionally drops in this other bit of info. After searching I am clear that Hadrianople is Edirne, which puts Comne in the European part of Modern Turkey ?

message: What?! What is the name used in sources? Is either Komnenos or Comnenos. It should have been Dynasty of Comnenos not "Komnenoi". What reader would search the dynasty trhough that name? And Komnenoi was not even the proposed name when the request was made. --Lecen (talk) 19:32, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. This unilateral decision by the closing admin is most unorthodox... The fact that the Greek plural is awkward to most English-speaking users was one of the factors for my move proposal. Please move again to "Komnenian dynasty", which gathered the more explicit support. Constantine   ✍  21:31, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Well, if that's true, you should also take it up at Byzantium under the Komnenoi. Anyways, read the closure statement, which explains. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 21:46, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I read it, thank you. However a) most family surnames however are in the singular in encyclopedias/dictionaries etc, not the plural, b) WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a valid reason. If we settle things here, Byzantium under the Komnenoi can be moved later. If you want to leave "dynasty" out, at least revert back to "Komnenos" as in the ODB and let's leave it there.

text: Hi Kostas. It seems this is the move request that time forgot. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 03:43, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
