Names of Countries in Wikipedia

If the name of an article is a name (a sequence of cmevla), then periods are needed nor in front, nor after each cmevla. But in the text of the article they are needed as in any other Lojban text.

So, if the article is about {la .antiguas.}, then it should have the address {antiguas}. Inego 02:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

would you like to give a rational for that? i initially thought that way, but i now notice that, for example, an article about <.iecuax. pe la natsyrat.> would be called such, but without the tail it would just be <.iecuax> with the former scheme, which seems inconsistent. mi'e bobas 03:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

If the name of the article isn't of form {la + sequence of cmevla}, then it is written in the full form: {la glico selmikce}, or, in your case, {la .iecuax. pe la nazaRET}. If we omit {la} here, the resulting *{.iecuax. pe la nazaret.} will be ungrammatical. At the same time, the final and starting periods are never needed in names of Wikipedian articles, -- for the sake of not increasing the enthropy. Inego 14:39, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

i see. and don't you mean 'entropy'? mi'e bobas 16:49, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

so are name translations acceptable? i think they are. at least one other person has suggested 'dizguhe' for belgium. mi'e bobas 06:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I think using lujvo like "bergu'e" as country names is dangerous since "bergu'e" might refer to some northern country. Using a cmene like "bergug" might be acceptable. However, I think translating names that way might be problematic because a name like "bakygug" might be harder to recognize than a name starting with "ital". I think it would be a good idea if all country names were standardized on jbovlaste. --Danogo 07:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
