Talk:Schlern

English name

It seems that the name "Sciliar" is more commonly used in English than "Schlern" (sciliar: 36,500 hits; schlern: 25,200 hits). It is better to leave the article where it is at this moment.--Supparluca 09:29, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

and if you do a correct search (namely minus the names of the villages around the mountain, who all use the mountain in their name) you get:

• Schlern 22,500 hits
• Sciliar 18,500 hits

Translation

Make a decision: do you want to translate the title "Zeitschrift für Südtiroler Landeskunde" in English? I don't care either way, but if you translate it, you have to do it according to the naming conventions, that is: "Places should generally be referred to consistently using the same name as in the title of their article". I'll put the correct translation if you don't mind.--Supparluca 10:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Naming Convention does not apply in this case: read the link you provided - it talks about "Geographical items" and "Places". This is a proper name which does not need to be changed. Also the "Südtiroler" in the subtitle does not refer to the area, but to the culture - the South Tyrolean culture, meaning the culture of the German population of the area. So changing the magazines subtitle is a) not required b) is factually wrong. --noclador (talk) 11:05, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

It's a title, a proper name. Hope you won't change Albert Einstein to Albert One Stone... Gun Powder Ma (talk) 18:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
