This was moved, without discussion, to a German title. I've moved it back, per WP:TITLE and WP:UE, as the English form is correct here. Xyl 54 (talk) 23:48, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Help me out here. I have been trying to get some sort of structure into this affair. As I pointed out elsewhere I do not have any preferences regarding the use of one language or the other. All I am looking for is to have one or the other used consistently within this project. As there are currently 32 pages in the Category:U-boat flotillas, and only three (four if you count the list) of them use English titles, there seems to be a strong preferences of German language titles. I would like to discuss that with the wider scope in mind, as I would hate to have this discussion on each of the other 31 articles in the category.
I am happy to move the other articles either way, we just need to agree on which way to go. --FJS15 (talk) 04:58, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I hadn’t realized it was so one-sided. But the guidelines are clear enough; we should use an English-language format unless there is a pressing reason not to. In this case the German title equates merely to 1st U-Boat Flotilla, so it isn’t as if the name has any significance in the original. So my preference would be to move them all to an English format.
But your point about 30-odd separate discussions is well taken; I’ve raised the issue here to see if there is any objection to doing that. Xyl 54 (talk) 23:28, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
OK, I've made a start. Xyl 54 (talk) 00:08, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
And I moved the rest. --FJS15 (talk) 07:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
