• "Ozolinsh" should be regarded as a nickname (assumed name) because in the Latvian documentation and passports the very popular Latvian surname is always spelt as Ozoliņš, or, if diacritics are unavailable, simplified to "Ozolins", never as "Ozolinsh".

• • Wikipedia naming convention is that articles are named after the most common English spelling, even if that spelling is different from the person's native language. And in this case, English-language newspapers/websites almost always use Ozolinsh, not Ozolins. Andris 13:33, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

• • • It is sad that one may want, or be forced, to follow what is merely a common error ("Ozolinsh"). Why do you worship anglicisation and ignore Latvian grammar? Weren't decades of russification of Latvia already enough? The main page should be Sandis Ozoliņš, and you could redirect to it from OzolinSH.

• • • • The back of his jersey says Ozolinsh. Stop crying about something so unbelivably trivial. Lionelxhutz 23:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• • • • • And his passport and birth certificate say Ozoliņš. Once his hockey career is over, his jersey won't say anything. His passport and birth certificate will still be the same. Lionelxhutz, you're a jerk. Đɨℓʊŋα^χχν 18:44, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
