Okay, now the person who created all these little "start" articles can expand them. Go for it. - Denimadept (talk) 19:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm not enthusiastic about the English label "Petelin Bridge" because it feels unnatural. This would be like calling the Dragon Bridge "Zmaj Bridge", or Dog Peak "Pas Peak", or Kokošji hrib "Kokoš Hill." Doremo (talk) 12:17, 6 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've found a new source calling the bridge Rooster Bridge.[1] Should the article be moved? Per WP:EN, "The title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject which is most common in the English language, as you would find it in reliable sources" and WP:NATURAL: "If it exists, choose an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English". After all, which sources do actually call it 'Cock Bridge' in English? --Eleassar my talk 07:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I agree with the suggested move (and citing the source of the English name, of course). Both "Cock Bridge" and "Rooster Bridge" are equally acceptable (from the point of view of naturalness), but if we have a source for "Rooster Bridge" then that makes it preferable.
