The result of the move request was: page moved. While I was ready to move based on the discussion I did look at the inbound links and redirects. The redirects clearly favored this move. Also the succession boxes used this name. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
The page was moved last fall without discussion but that was far from uncontroversial, and that user should not have done so without discussion. It should be moved back to its original name or to Haelwig of Schleswig, which corresponds with its correct (though rare) English exonym. No reliable source, English or other, has ever refered to the consort of Waldemar Otherday and mother of Margaret the Great as Hedwig. If that has ever been done at all, it has been in error by an occasional early author of lesser renown, misinterpreting the name and/or not bothering to find and use the proper exonym in this case, which error then may have spread to some other publications. Such an error should not be used as an excuse to give this historical person the wrong name on WP, no matter what other circumstances may be cited. SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:48, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
