Same people may speak more than one language. And for English speakers, letters like š or č are not the most familiar either. Moreover, mismatch between Wikipedia and Wikidata would only confuse people - is Shchedrin and Ščedrin the same last name or different one? How does one look up for it? I think departing from commonly used way would just add confusion and not really help people, neither experienced nor new. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
