article name edit
Despite the recent conversation at the G&R project, I've moved this and a couple of related articles back to their old names. My reasons:
- Many articles link to the original name. When I created the article, I meticulously searched for links to this man and made sure they were correct, and added links if they had been missing; if an editor doesn't care to do the same, why should that editor be making the decision on naming?
- This Lucius Valerius Flaccus is easily confused with his cousin and son and various others, and I gave a lot of thought as to how best to distinguish them.
- He's not the only LVF to be a consul (the 'suffect' may be meaningless to some people).
- The year is the best way to help users pinpoint which man they're looking for.
I think consistency should be subordinate to helping users find info most efficiently. See also Lucius Valerius Flaccus (princeps senatus 86 BC). Cynwolfe (talk) 15:44, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
