What should be at Hannibal edit

Honestly, I think this disambig page belongs at Hannibal. I certainly wasn't looking for the guy that popped up when I searched Hannibal; I'd never heard of him (I was after Hannibal Lecter and felt lazy). I'm not suggesting that any other entry take it's spot as the article holding that spot, because I find it hard to really say what people would be most likely after..but something tells me it's not this.

To a significant extent, I agree. I would, generally, think that the primary spelling, root spelling, should be to the oldest usage, the original usage. However, any time that there is dispute, or confusion, et-al, that it should go to disambiguation.

Yeah, after all, he was only one of the most famous military commanders in western history, whose famous journey over the alps with elephants is the stuff of legend. Sheesh. fishhead64 (talk) 02:11, 11 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

prename edit

Someone has employed the word "prename", w/o definition; stratego has what is nearly a nonsense definition, while strategos does not quite employ the phrase "military commander".
