Talk:Helvetia

Dude what are you doing? Why did you block me? I was trying to correct some mistakes in your wiktionary page Helvetia. 1.I wanted to add how is Switzerland called in Greek:Ελβετία(Elvetía or in Ancient Greek:Helvetía) that derives from Latin Helvetia 2.Helvetia is the country of Sitzerland ,not the tribe.The tribe was called Helvetīi,so you shouldn't add it to Helvetia page. :p

Yes, the tribes were called Helvetii by the Romans, but we're talking about English usage here. The fact is, the region/country where the Helvetii lived has been called Helvetia in English (for instance, here). We're a descriptive dictionary, so we describe the language as people have used it. The mere fact that you're not familiar with that usage doesn't give you the right to obliterate other people's contributions without providing evidence to back you up.
