bob, I noticed that you moved a bunch of articles to natlang titles. Please discuss on the talk pages and get more consensus before moving articles. Some of the page moves are not so objectionable, but I wonder why you have moved articles such as [[Jupiter]] and [[Alexander Pushkin]] to English titles even though these things are not natively English. Those are cases where discussions would probably have produced different results. Reckless page moves are considered anti-social and can potentially result in you being banned from editing Lojban Wikipedia.—[[User:Sen|sen]] <sup>([[User_talk:Sen|ko tavla]])</sup> 17:28, 25 la daumast. 2008 (UTC)
:Jupiter is a planet and thus not natively any language; it's called Jupiter in English, French, German, &c, so I don't see why that's controversial. I chose the English form of Alexander Pushkin because it's most recognisable on account of English's status as linqua franca. if we're going to call things by their "native" name, we should start calling Basque as euskara, Joan of Arc as Jehanne Darc, Abraham as אברם, Confucius as 孔子, and so forth. however, this controversy is no longer relevant. I don't have any interest in Lojban any longer (having switched to <s>[[en:Ilaksh|Ilaksh]]</s> [[en:Ithkuil|Ithkuil]], which is far superior), and don't intend to edit this wiki any more. by the way, I think you should consider deleting all the single sentence articles I've created.

::Yes, I think that calling things by their native names (in Roman letters) is exactly what we'll do, until a Lojban name is agreed upon. Have fun with Ilaksh.—[[User:Sen|sen]] <sup>([[User_talk:Sen|ko tavla]])</sup> 16:49, 26 la daumast. 2008 (UTC)
