Angr voted to "keep as translation targets all that have foreign names distinct from the English names (not counting mere transliterations into other writing systems).

Etymology

[edit]

Is this truly derived from Italian, as the etymology section currently states? This statue's Italian name is "Venere di Milo" - it would seem more likely to be derived from French "Vénus de Milo", as the sculpture is located in France.--Vellidragon (talk) 21:01, 18 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
