Talk:Mars (Planet)

Name of this planet
Since this planet has been known as Mars by billions of people in countless realities for hundreds of years, I'm pretty sure I disagree with titling the article by the name of another culture/language (and a dead one at that). To use an analogy, we use the name Iraq in articles, not كۆماری عێراق ; We use Japan, not Nihon-koku; we refer to the USSR, not Союз Советских Социалистических Республик. I understand the appeal, having been fond of the C.S.Lewis novels, but this is a relatively recent retcon that gave us insight into Martian language but didn't fundamentally alter the planet itself. So, can we move it to Mars? The Paradox 01:35, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
