:because the publisher sells it under that name? It is after all a proper name, just like a movie...you were only blocked for deleting content, without justification(and the way you did it nary a word of explanation with convoluted edits suggesting serial vandalism)...it is necessary to Move pages to preserve the history of author contributions. A ban is something altogether different--[[Usor:Rafaelgarcia|Rafaelgarcia]] 03:07, 10 Iulii 2010 (UTC)
::Perhaps I should take some time to learn how the Wiki works a little better before taking on that kind of edit again. But let me rephrase my question - why is English preferred to Japanese? Admittedly, I didn't change the name of ''The Legend of Zelda'' to Japanese, but to Latin (and I did it wrong at that :P), but I don't understand why it is English when the Japanese name would make more sense for a non-English article.

:::Because it is a PROPER NAME. We don't translate proper names unless there is an attested latin form. If the game were sold widely under a japanese name, then we would transliterate that, but not translate it. In particular, this is the COPYRIGHTED name of the game. You can't change that without permission of the copyright holder.--[[Specialis:Conlationes/173.70.154.122|173.70.154.122]] 04:36, 10 Iulii 2010 (UTC)
