Italian place names
Please don't add Italian names to all the *links* to place articles. When the additional name is *in* the place article, that's fine, but it doesn't make sense to add it to all the links. This is the English Wikipedia; Italian is equally foreign to English readers as is Croatian. --Joy &#91;shallot] 22:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand very well the problem, but be aware that i'm not translating to italian all the "foreign names", i will not for example go to France page and traslate "Paris" as "Parigi". I'm translating some names of Dalmatia because these were the only names used to refer to it until the 19th century, i have some old maps that proof it. Please let me know. --Karplus 13:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC+1)


 * Yes, of course, but these were old names that are not used in modern references. The page Cres says clearly that it's also Cherso, but the references to the island should only have the modern-day name because that's what's used today. --Joy &#91;shallot] 15:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
