Can we set some standards for place names? An example, what to use for Brugge (I just bumped into it)? It's now to be found under [[Bruges]], which I think is wrong. Cities should be put under the name they are known in the country they are and if necessary there can be a redirection page for foreign-language versions of the name.
:I think we already had that discussion a long time ago, and agreed to use the English names, wherever they are common. This seemed most logical for an English-speaking wiki. In general, we try to stick to wikipedia's standards for that. I think it's not so much of an issue, because we always try to set redirects for all possible languages, so everyone will always find what one's looking for. (Although we are not really consequent, like at [[Köln]]). But Bruges seems to be the English name for Brugge. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 21:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
