Quantum redactiones paginae "Disputatio:The Rolling Stones" differant

Linea 8:
:Oh, come to think of it, you're mistaken on the Latin translation "saxum volutum". The English proverb isn't "rolling stones gather no moss", it's the same as the Latin one: "a rolling stone gathers no moss"! The band purposefully pluralized it from the original English, so they'd obviously do the same from the original Latin. Saxa Voluta stays. -[[Usor:Adamas|Adamas]] 05:45, 4 Martii 2006 (UTC)
 
**Perfect, because that was my final choice. Well, thanks for the very welcome explanation. Though I would list works of art together with place names among those more likely to be translated, I know keeping the name in the original is the name of the game not only in different Wikipedias but also among the mass media, etc. That's certainly the case with rock bands. But I wasn't sure about how that worked in our own local Vici terms. That's why in this case I deliberately did not move the page without asking for other people's opinions and/or orientation here. I know the English proverb in the singular myself (it is merely an English version of the Latin original), so I was probably also influenced by the band's name. I was just led to the page because I saw it in the mutationes recentes list and because I seemed to recall the Latin proverb, it made sense to me to add the Latin name.
 
Though arguably Latin titles used in Vicipaedia other than those involving proper names (such as those describing technological advances) might also prove unhelpful to at least some readers for the same reasons you have named, your argumentation makes absolute sense to me and was also very helpful. Being new here I sometimes don't realise that adding two pages to Vicipaedia (one with the name in Latin, be it "authoritative" or questionable, and the other showing the original name, which would then have redirect to the former) may not always be the best solution. Thanks again![[Usor:D Ambulans|D Ambulans]] 12:48, 4 Martii 2006 (UTC)
