Ore Mountains

edit

I would suggest to use the term Erzgebirge instead of Ore mountains as used in the article. The Erzgebirge main article uses that name, and there are ore mountains in many other countries. A literal translation doesn't help this article, and the Erzgebirge article provides a literal translation in the intro. Captndelta (talk) 20:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

For the record, the main article is now called the Ore Mountains for several reasons: not only is that the most usual English name but, as the mountain range straddles the German-Czech border, using the English name avoids favouring the German Erzgebirge over the Czech Krušné hory or vice versa; plus it scores on clarity. --Bermicourt (talk) 21:58, 26 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
