"Your work" and name

 * 1) This is a free encyclopaedia and I have right to undo all your work if I don't agree with it, especially when it comes to article titles. You do not own articles and therefore you cannot tell me to stop undoing your work if I have contra argements. Not only that; you've said like I go around and undo all of your edits, when in fact I undid only one.
 * 2) It was what she would've gone by worths only for the period during which she lived in France. She called herself Maria Teresa while she lived in Spain, but that's unimportant. She is called Maria Theresia in Germany, Marie-Thérèse in France, Maria Teresa in Spain, Maria, Marija Terezija in my country, and Maria Theresa in English speaking countries. Since this is English language Wikipedia, we need to use English form of her name. Not to mention that Marie-Thérèse of Spain is half-French, half-English. If you insist on using French form of her name (which makes no sense here), then it should be either Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche or Marie-Thérèse d'Espagne. Surtsicna (talk) 18:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) When two users disagree, they can
 * try to reach consensus on their own;
 * request a move (user who proposes the new title requests the move) and then other users join the discussion.

When a user changes the title of article and the other user disagrees, status quo should be respected and the article should revert to the old title until a consensus is reached. Edit war is not allowed. Surtsicna (talk) 19:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Please respect the status quo and leave the article where it was when you started editing. I am going to move this discussion to Talk:Maria Theresa of Spain. Surtsicna (talk) 23:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No, she was born as María Teresa, not as Marie-Thérèse! Catherine of Aragon was born as Catalina, but we call her Catherine. Maria Theresa of Austria was born as Maria Theresia, but we call her Maria Theresa. Anglicization of names of princesses was and still is a common practice. It has nothing to do with not being able to pronounce a name. Surtsicna (talk) 23:30, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * How can you just ignore me? I am suggesting for a zillionth time that you go Talk:Maria Theresa of Spain, give your reasons and give contra arguments for my reasons, so that other users can decide. Is that so hard? If you are right, other users will decide in your favour, o you have nothing to worry about. However, I know that you're not right. Marie Antoinette is the name by which this queen is known in English. She is not called Marie Antoinette of Austria, because that would be a half-French, half-English title, and that's why the title you're proposing bothers me.

Isabella I
Hello, Dalv89! I am really glad that someone is interested in Queen Isabella I! You've improved the article significantly. I noticed that there are many beautiful portarits of Isabella and that's why I was wondering: is there a reason why you chose as the lead portrait? My favourites are and. She is shown as a real queen regnant in both of these portraits (let alone the fact that she looks better :)) What do you think? Surtsicna (talk) 11:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
