Lake reference vs. Lac
Back in April last year, User:SomeHuman moved the article of Lac de la Gruyère to Lake of Gruyère. This move was correct, and User:SomeHuman even provided the explanation that English-language Misplaced Pages requires article name in English: the lake is by numerous sources called 'Lake of Gruyère' (though sometimes without accent grave). You incorrectly reverted this back, claiming that the move was an "undiscussed change". However, just to let you know, the wiki guidelines on naming conventions clearly explain why the title of "Lake" is to be used over "Lac". Because of your persistence, I have brought this problem up on ANI so that an administrator may help explain this better to you. If you continue to edit war, you may find that your actions are not in line with wiki guidelines, and that my actions are to correct the original move for the article title from French into English.
