Special characters template above infobox? (Feel free to revert/move if this is a bad idea.)
/* top */ combine footnotes back together
/* Name */ Make text less redundant, but whether this is an overall improvement I'm not sure.
/* Name */ I forgot to add context when moving this out of the lead
/* top */ Simplify redundant labels.
The historical, regional, and foreign languages don't seem to be cited, or if they're only mentioned in the one source cited in the lead (I haven't read it), then this may be undue weight. Either way, move out of the lead, at least for now.
/* top */ Break up massive, over-engineered footnote. Now there are too many footnotes...
/* top */ This text (nickname) is already small, so it shouldn't use {{small}}.
/* top */ Use {{native_name}}. This text is already small, so it shouldn't use {{small}}.
