Transliteration Dispute

@Wesley Mouse and Jjj1238: I noticed that in the edit history, there was a minor dispute regarding Alexander's last name, and that you both asserted that standard Wikipedia procedure was not expected to be used for transliteration, in preference of EBU's transliteration, thus your decision to revert changes to the last name from Minyonok to Minenok. However, I can see many instances of both transliterations in a multitude of junioreurovision.tv pages. The EBU website only refers to Alexander once here with the last name Minyonok. His participant profile on the junioreurovision.tv website also uses Minyonok, opposed to Minenok. It seems that if anything, EBU prefers Minyonok, which matches the standard procedure on Wikipedia. Because the dispute took place so long ago, it may be necessary to review which transliteration should be used for Alexander.

Of course, I stand corrected if I am missing any information. I am not trying to push for a change, merely find a source of agreement so that all Wikipedia articles can use one spelling rather than a multitude. --Tuxipedia (talk) 05:19, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The name dispute was due to being at the time both the EBU and other sources used one spelling variation. And then later they changed it to a different spelling. The dispute was later resolved. Wes Mouse ^Talk 09:27, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What was the outcome of the dispute? Wikipedia is using both variations of his last name, so I'd like to change them to whichever one is preferred. --Tuxipedia (talk) 23:16, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Wesley Mouse: Sorry for being a bother. I'd just like to know which transliteration has been agreed on.--Tuxipedia (talk) 22:48, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuxipedia: the agreed name is Minyonok, as that is what the EBU uses on junioreurovision.tv and at ebu.ch. Wes Mouse ^Talk 00:27, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
