We are a descriptive, historical dictionary, so we describe the terms that speakers of English and French worldwide use and have used for a country and its people, not just the ones that someone from that country would like for them to use. We also don't use redirects like Wikipedia does: if a spelling is incorrect, we have an entry for that spelling explaining that fact.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have entries for the spellings you prefer, in addition to the ones we already have, but unilaterally moving an entry that other people have edited without asking first is very bad wiki etiquette and could have gotten you blocked.

If you have evidence that your spelling is considered the correct spelling other than in your country, feel free to propose moving the main entry at Requests for moves, merges and splits. Even if we agree to the move, please be aware that we will have entries at both spellings unless you can prove that a spelling is not, and never has been in use except as a rare misspelling.
