I and Garam are currently having conflicts due to its title.
At first, I created the article with "New Alternatives". The medias also used the same terms and till now didn't have any issues. But since yesterday, Garam moved this page to "New Alternative Party" without explaining any valid reasons. So I reverted it and also provided the sources by Googling. But then I have faced another issues; Garam moved again and accused me for disruptive editing. The user also warned that I may be blocked for my editing.
Although I couldn't find the official name of the party, but by Googling, "New Alternatives" were used more than "New Alternative Party". Here are the proves.
Garam also said that all parties with "당 (party)" should be translated as "party". But in Korean media, putting "당" is very customary, regardless of its official status. The notable examples are Liberal Democrats, The Republicans and The Left (Germany). All these are translated as 자유민주당, 공화당, 좌파당 in Korean media, but the literal meaning of Korean translations are Liberal Democratic Party, Republican Party and Left Party (by the way, "Left Party" or "Linkspartei" is also commonly used in German media). Even in another examples, Christian Democratic Union of Germany and Alternative for Germany is frequently translated as 기독교민주당 and 대안당 respectively, though no word "당 (party)" is in their names.
I would like to ask help to administrator to deal with this conflicts. I can find many users reverting regardless of any worriness, but I'm sure Garam will request to block me if I take additional reverting. So far I have checked Garam's past contributions and discussion page and the user provoked various controversies with another users but accusing the others for disruptive editing. I have also found out that Garam had been blocked 10 years ago due to the disruptive editing (I also checked Garam in Korean Wikipedia and the user was frequently criticised and blocked for similar reasons).
So I seek a help to administrators, as both of us are not enough to deal with this issue. Thank you. Jolin254 ( talk) 12:22, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

New Alternatives → New Alternative Party (South Korea) – There has been an edit war over the formally correct title, the transliterated title, the most commonly-used title, etc. See above, and somewhat less friendly talk at user pages. I am not one of the parties to this discussion, although I have reverted some breaking changes around the periphery (eg. the change of New Alternatives from a redirect (following move) to this page to a disambiguation page). I won't make any recommendation on the preferred article title. Names that have been suggested (and tried, and re-tried!) so far include:
Please desist from edit-warring pending the outcome of the discussion, and certainly don't move the article during the discussion which will cause immense confusion. Lithopsian ( talk) 15:19, 28 January 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. BegbertBiggs ( talk) 17:22, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
