Spelling of the name

I have edited this article back to the Spanish spelling of the name, Peñíscola, because that is what was original in the article and primarily because it is more common in English language references than the local Valencian spelling. I have provided the local spelling, Peníscola, as a gloss. Mike Dillon 23:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Pope date

What is the right date for the Pope entry? This article disagrees with Avignon Pope Benedict XIII. --84.20.17.84 09:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I suggest to move Peñíscola to official name Peníscola/Peñíscola. Jɑυмe (xarrades) 19:42, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

"Peníscola/Peñíscola" is not the official name. It's the official name in two different languages separated by a slash, which is not how we reflect naming variation between languages. What's the name of the place in English? — Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɛ̃ɾ̃ˡi]} 22:24, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Dual naming is common in Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, etc. See, Swiss city Biel/Bienne, or Basque capital, Vitoria-Gasteiz.

According to Spanish BOE, "official name is in two languages separated by a slash" BOE Peníscola/Peñíscola Jɑυмe (xarrades) 00:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

• Comment how about Peniscola ? Solves the problem of selecting the language by not selecting the language, instead just using standard English letters. 65.95.14.96 (talk) 00:41, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Peniscola (without diacritics) can perfectly fit here, if this is a real English exonym. Otherwise, I will stick myself to official form Peníscola/Peñíscola (Valencian/Spanish).Jɑυмe (xarrades) 03:07, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Note the majority of the above "I support this request" users admit to an assocaitation with the Catalan wikipedia so I suspect some canvessing has been going on especially given that "Peníscola" is the Catalan name. Dpmuk (talk) 18:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose This is not Spain, nor the Spanish Wikipedia. Normal English usage is for the most common term, not two stuffed in there just for a laugh. Also we have guidelines - "Avoid /" Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Article_titles.5BR.5D

• Oppose I wanted to close off this discussion, but I have a strong opinion that this rename is inappropriate. Spanish law does not apply to Wikipedia, the usage in English is the important criteria, which would result in a rename to Peniscola without diacritics. Compromising between languages so that both names are used will result in a name that is actually used by very few people. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:11, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
  • As I said before, I agree with Peniscola without diacritics. The reason i requested to change it Peníscola/Peñíscola was because this is the only official name (no Peñíscola on its own), and I wasn't aware there was a real English exonym for this place until now. So is it possible now to change this request to English form Peniscola? Jɑυмe (xarrades) 19:32, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
