From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia's Manual of Style, which defines the styles and contents used in articles, lays down a simple rule for deciding what name an article should be under. It is called most common name. In other words what is the form of name used principally by English speakers to refer to a topic, country, or person?

The reason for this is simple: we need to use names that most users will recognise instantly, and will be able to find easily. Once the most common name is accurate, then it is the form we are required to use.

Note: It does not mean that the English language name is used, merely the name most used by English speakers. If a foreign name is used and recognised by English speakers, then that is used.

The main exception to using MCN is in the area of royal names. That is because royalty often have a complex hybrid of names and titles which change over time so following the MCN rule is in practice impossible. But elsewhere the golden rule is simple: use the most common name used by English speakers on English Wikipedia.


  • So lets call her Mrs Glucksborg as thats how most articles call her.

Also even if most English speakers were calling her the "Queen of Greece" we couldn't name her biography with this title, as Greeks have voted a referendum and 69% agreed to remove her "Queeness". Also I'm not republican, I'm monarchist and I'm upset because the mistakes of this family are the reason why Greece doesn't have Crown Republic anymore. ALEKSANDAR 17:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:VANDAL states that blanking of warnings that were placed with good reason is considered vandalism. However, I can not find anything in your contribs that qualifies as "vandalism", so removing these shouldn't be a problem.

For future reference, please do not call an admin notice (like this) vandalism; I'm merely trying to give you a heads up in case there really was vandalism in your contribs. — Deckiller 03:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppet Block

You have been blocked from editing as a proven sockpuppet of the user Stevepeterson. While sockpuppets are not outright outlawed, their use to rig votes is considered abusive vandalism and will not be tolerated on Wikipedia. —Nightstallion (?) Seen this already? 05:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
