I see your revert on the "Also known as" section. But what I'm trying to do is to introduce a standardly-named section into which all variants of name and notation are introduced.

When (as now) the variant is only in notation, it makes for a clumsily-named section, but I am unhappy abut "alternative" as it does not translate across the atlantic where the distinctly non-British-English "alternate" is used. Because of the confusion I believe it best for such two-formed words to be kept to a minimum.

So ... suggestions as to how to standardise this section?

(In this particular case it may not be classified as a "variant" at all, as this usage is not an alternative to anything really, it has not equivalent except not being used. So it may not apply.)--prime mover 13:54, 22 March 2012 (EDT)


 * I see your point here, and agree it is good to strive for uniformity. It will probably be hard to find something which is not far more grandiloquent than 'Also known as' which covers both parts concisely. The closest I get is something like 'Variants', 'Variations', 'Conventions' or even 'Syntactic and Semantic Variations' but that's already too long. 'Other Conventions' is my best bet I can think of in the time I have set myself for this. If you deem it inappropriate, we will just stick with 'Also known as', even though it doesn't really cover the content. --Lord_Farin 16:58, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
