Uranus Versus Ouranos
Can you please stop changing "Uranus" to "Ouranos" while we discuss this? Paul August &#9742; 16:29, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes. Why do you believe Uranus is the Greek form? Uranus was a Roman alteration of Ouranos, like how Cronus is a Roman alteration of Kronos. On Roman pages I don't change Uranus to Ouranos, except when Uranus is what the writer used as the Greek equivalent when comparing Greek versions to Roman versions.

 * Please see WP:common name; Ouranos may be Greek, and Uranus may be Romanised Greek, but Uranus remains the form in common English usage. If this is unsatisfactory to you, it might be better to discuss it on the article talk-page, rather than revert again. By the way, the most modern translations seem to offer "Uranus".

 * "Uranus" is the usual transliteration of the Greek Οὐρανός into English using the standard rules "ou" -> "u", (so we have Medusa not Medousa, and Muse not Mousa) final "os" -> "us"  (so Daedalus not Daidalos, and Hephaestus not Hephaistos). Paul August &#9742; 19:44, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
