Moved from User talk:Kleeblatt187 § Neuhausen/Erzgeb.Hi Kleeblatt, you're doing some really good work on Germany-related articles I don't want to detract from that. However, I've just reverted your move of Neuhausen/Erzgeb. because our convention deprecates the official German form of disambiguation using a "/". I think that's because the sources don't tend to use it and it appears a bit incomprehensible in English. Hope that helps. Gruess. --Bermicourt (talk) 21:31, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Bermicourt, thanks for the compliments! Nevertheless, the official full name of this Neuhausen is Neuhausen/Erzgeb., not Neuhausen (which indeed migth need disambiguation), please look at this and that link, the latter one being an official information of de:Landesdirektion Sachsen (official saxon directory of municipalities), the first one also something official. Official is offical, whether we like it or not. Also the Mittelsachsen district administration names the municipality Neuhausen/Erzgeb., please check here (unfold the list, upper right corner above the map) and here.
- Nevertheless, I don't think we should spend much time discussing about this. If you prefer Neuhausen, Saxony, leave it. But you may want to consider to move the category as well, in my opinion it should be in line with the article. Also interesting for me: both Purschenstein Castle and Cämmerswalde (maybe even more articles) refer in their first sentence always to Neuhausen/Erzgeb., the official form. --Kleeblatt187 (talk) 23:54, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- By the way, there is another Neuhausen in Saxony, it's a small place within the municipality of Waldheim, Saxony, see for example here. The latter one indeed is named only Neuhausen, which is ambigous and needs some clarification as soon as it gets an own article. Neuhausen/Erzgeb. is official and unambiguous. --Kleeblatt187 (talk) 05:42, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- Personally, I'm not that fussed by this. I'm only going by the Wiki convention here which specifically deprecates this form of disambiguation even if it's an official name like Halle/Saale. I assume it's because English sources don't tend to use the "xxx/yyy" format, according to research that other editors have done. --Bermicourt (talk) 20:39, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
