[edit] Name of the article

A lot of articles about spanish universities were located in a page with its non-translated name to english, but following the Wikipedia's Manual of Style everyone was moved to the page with its english name (when there were more than one translation, I tried to choose the more frequently used). This article should be called "Autonomous University of Barcelona", with a redirection from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. --surueña 12:51, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)


I disagree. The Wikipedia policy is to use the most used name in English, and the name most used in English is the original. This is also the name used on the English version of their website, which is a good translation, clearly done by a native English speaker.
