This page should not be at "Alfonso I of Aragon" in preference to "Alfonso of Navarre". That's why I moved it to "Alfonso the Battler". This was reverted, but why? The stated reason was "to follow standard set by other Aragonese kings and the general pattern of Wikipedia. Surnames should not be used in the title of an article." Firstly, "the Battler" is not a surname. It is an epithet. Secondly, could not I move this page to "Alfonso of Navarre" with the same justification: "to follow standard set by other Navarrese kings"? Finally, Wikipedia uses epithets whenever they are more common and appropriate than any other possible name (thus Alexander the Great instead of Alexander III of Macedon or Alexander of Egypt). For the above-stated reasons, I intend to move the page back to "Alfonso the Battler". Srnec 05:21, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
