Where a name of a monarch is dramatically different in english to the native language, and the person is widely known in the english-speaking world by the english version, english wiki uses the english version. So while Carol II for example, is widely known as . . . Carol II, Michael is generally called that internationally, even if in Romania is goes by a native version of the name. So I have changed the name in the list here on english wiki to the most recognisable english version to following naming conventions, ie, Michael. STÓD/ÉÍRE 00:27 Apr 14, 2003 (UTC)
It is important for the sake of documentation of avoidance of confusion if we use both Michael as well as Mihai as long as it is clear to the reader/researcher that this is the same person.
I also feel using both Bucharest as well as Bucuresti with the special Romanian character will welcome our Romanian readers (most of who will speak English but appreciate their culture being in tact).
Cheers.
King of the Romanians?
If the article reads, from the begining:
King of the Romanians (Romanian: Regele Românilor)rather than King of Romania (Romanian: Regele României) was the official title of the ruler of the Kingdom of Romania from 1881 until 1947 when Romania was proclaimed a republic.
why is the article still named "King of Romania"?
Please note that I do realize the... conflict: on all the coins, all the Kings where titled "of the Romanians", but as a royal house they are titled "of Romania".
