Talk:Maeda Gen'i

Spelling
The article's name uses Geni. The article's introduction uses Gen'i. The artcile's body uses Gen-i. Which is it? Douggers (talk) 01:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it's none of them, of course. His name is spelled 玄以. But, as an approximation of the Western (English) pronunciation, some write it as Gen'i or Gen-i in order to distinguish it from Ge'ni (i.e. it's げんい, not げに); some just don't bother and spell it as Geni. That's all. Different romanization preferences. Still, we should pick one and stick with it. As WP:MOS-JA says "Syllabic n ん is written n' when followed by a vowel or y but not when followed by another n", I guess the best answer is to go with Gen'i, and standardize the spelling throughout the article.

 * lol. I speak Japanese, so I know the meaning behind it all. I was just wondering about standards on Wikipedia. Thanks, I'll make the changes. Douggers (talk) 13:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
