Zips

I moved the Spiš site to Zips (region) and you reversed the change stating that you are not sure if this is a region. Please note that it is indeed the english name for the slovak "Spiš" region. I did provide numerous academic texts in english confirming this. I will post them here just to make sure you have them. Please move it back to "Zips (region)" on grounds that:

• An english title exists for this topic
• English spelling is preferred to that of non-English languages
• The spelling that reflects the majority of items on the page is preferred to less common alternatives.

There are many many many more English language sources which use "Spis" or variants. Also, using the actual current name of the place follows wikipedia naming conventions. I'm also not sure what German language works, or works about the German language have to do with the article title in the English Misplaced Pages.VolunteerMarek 14:16, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Note also that there was a requested move, as can be seen from the talk page and the consensus was to keep it at Spis (note the closure which clearly states that this is the English name).VolunteerMarek 14:18, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

The sources I provided are English texts, if you would please check, I think you will see you are mistaken. Also, you have not provided any references for your claims. This is not adhering to wikipedia standards. Agentxp22 (talk) 14:23, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
