Hello there. You seem to have been editing here for some time, so I'm sorry your first message should be a reversion notice. You seem to have taken some trouble to change the English spellings of Roman names in the article Julius Caesar to more "authentic" spellings. Though your effort's appreciated, English wikipedia favours the common Anglicised forms of Latin names whenever possible and whenever useful: the same forms are used overwhelmingly by modern, Anglophone scholarship, and are those most likely familiar to English readers. Thus, we have articles on Sallust, Livy, Julius Caesar, Plutarch, Julia the Younger, etcetera. If a name's immediately recognisable, readers don't have to click on a link to decipher it. Original Latin or Greek orthographies are usually left to the lead paragraph of any subject's main article. You'll find further guidance at WP:MOS and WP:ROMANS. Thank you.

Thanks for your response on my talk-page. I'll post standard welcome-links below. They'll help explain current wikipedia policies on... more-or-less everything.
In response to your question - nothing on wikipedia is set in stone, except (maybe) that first and foremost we write for readers... well, that's probably no answer, and you needn't take my say-so for any of this. The encyclopedia has several discussion pages where such matters are thrashed out. You could try Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome or Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities. I'm sure there will be other pages relevant to your query, and if I could I'd direct you to them, but after two years here, I still don't know my way around the place that well.
