Talk:Roxelana

As per all sources I could find, her name was Anastasia. Besides, she was a Ruthenian rather than Polish lady, so "Lisovska" seems more appropriate. But these two things can be decided later and separately from the main issue, that this person is best known as Roxelana in English and the article should be called as such. I just post this here for now to solicit preliminary opinions, and I will post a proposal at WP:RM. Regards, --Irpen 05:03, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

Agree. Roxelana is definitely the common name. Everyking 06:28, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Aleksandra is a mistake. I think it's time to switch it to Roxelana. Sashazlv 03:04, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I see that nobody objects. Sashazlv 04:53, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Will post at WP:RM. Guys, please keep track of announcement boards at both RU and UA portals (two boards per each), there is a couple of similar discussions. Thanks! --Irpen 03:15, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

This is a really weird case when a person is under the name that is less conventional, and an unconvential name includes an incorrect first name on top of it. Sashazlv & Irpen 04:50, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• support. Sashazlv 04:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose (but only slightly, since I prefer the name of Roxolana. Halibutt 07:37, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

I would not mind Roxolana. But do the google test and see that the world uses RoxElana for whatever reason. Please think it over. --Irpen 14:45, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Weak support then. Halibutt 15:17, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 22:08, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
