[edit] Why is he being called Meiri, instead of Hameiri or HaMeiri or the like?

As in the Hebrew Wiki, his name is Rabbi Menahem ben Shlomo HaMeiri (i.e., of the "HaMeiri" family). In the main traditions of Hebrew name usage, the name is better HaMeiri rather than "Meiri", and this should not be absent from the article, let alone the title. Perhaps it would even be preferable to use a helpful apostrophe: Ha'Me'iri or HaMe'iri. 66.28.54.254 (talk) 12:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
