This page brings together a lot of scattered thoughts about Peter Chelcicky, an important but often overlooked Christian teacher of the 15th century. It needs a lot of work to improve its readability, plus biographical information on Chelcicky. - Rlvaughn 04:42, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Question on the changing of the "spelling" of his name
I have no doubt that Petr Chelčický is his real name, but wonder about the advisability of the change. This is, I believe, the English version of Wikipedia, and many English speakers would not know to look for this spelling, even if they knew how to make the diacritical marks.
It seems that Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) would recommend the 'Peter Chelcicky' spelling: "Convention: Title your pages using the English name, if one exists, and give the native spelling on the first line of the article. If the native spelling is not in the Latin alphabet, also provide a Latin transliteration. Only use the native spelling as an article title if it is more commonly used in English than the anglicized form." - Rlvaughn 3 July 2005 03:11 (UTC)
