Rosas

Hi, Langus. Good to talk with you. I'm sorry, I was talking about the Endnotes, not footnotes. To be more precise, Endnote C. It was quite common until the late 19th century, both in Spanish as well as in Portuguese, to have variations of names and surnames, even among members of the same family.

However, in the case of Rosas, revisionist authors tried to fabricate the tale that he changed his surname from Rozas to Rosas when he was a child. That's untrue and part of the revisionist political propaganda. That's explained in Endnote C.

Oh, I see. Well, without going intro controversy, I'm not interested in how he changed his name, or if it was his father or a relative who started the confusion. What it worries me is that we are not properly saying to the readers "hey, you may read about JM Rozas somewhere else and that would be the same person: it's an alternative spelling". I think this kind of information is vital for a reader researching the topic and should be included right in the lede or at least in the opening paragraph of the body. Would you agree to that? --Langus (t) 13:54, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

I think Leon Ortiz's name should be changed to Rosas. There are many authors who call him that way. I have no idea why we should keep the archaic "Rozas". Either way, perhaps the best should be to create an article about the Rosas family, explaining there the difference in spelling. P.S.: I left Leo Ortiz's wikilink the same as his article's title. --Lecen (talk) 14:51, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

I have a lot to say about the subject but I don't want to get into that discussion. What I do seek is for readers to get the upfront clarification that JM Rozas and JM Rosas are the same person. Would you help me with that? --Langus (t) 16:55, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Merge discussion

Hello Langus,

Where should we take the Distressed securities merge discussion next to get it resolved from an uninvolved admin? I would like an uninvolved third party to determine what steps need to be taken next. I asked user Jonathan A Jones, user Wragge, and I also posted a comment to the ANI board for assistance a couple weeks ago but never received a response from either. Thanks in advance for the help!

These kind of decisions are not to be taken by admins: they have to be decided by WP:CONSENSUS. Right now, there's no clear consensus on which path to take. You could ask for input at WikiProject Economics, WikiProject Investment and WikiProject Finance. Also, a request for comment would attract attention from uninvolved editors.

However, it is my personal opinion that you're pushing too hard for this merge; you should just WP:DROPTHESTICK and let it go.

Reverting every one of my edits

I've just returned after an absence of several months to find it seems you like to follow me around reverting my edits. Is this just something you make a habit of, or is there something in particular about me that you've taken a dislike to? BedsBookworm (talk) 14:44, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have no particular interest in you or your edits. Haven't you thought about the possibility that I may have had the pages watchlisted before you edited them? --Langus (t) 16:22, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
