Palatine Forest or Pfälzer Wald
This article was renamed by User:Rex Germanus from Pfälzer Wald to Palatine Forest, with the comment English Misplaced Pages.
But as both are proper names, I don't think is quite so clear cut as we are writing for the English Misplaced Pages, so lets use the more English sounding name, which is what I read that comment as meaning. (Rex, if you meant something else, please do say).
A Google search on the two names, in both cases specifying English pages only, gave the following results:
- Pfälzer Wald - 917
- Palatine Forest - 437
It is true that some of the pages on Pfälzer Wald were in German, despite asking for English only. But it is also true that some of the pages on Palatine Forest were about a place in Illinois.
My feel from looking at the Google results was that Pfälzer Wald is the more natural name for an English speaker to use, but I admit that the evidence is not overwhelming. So I'm not reverting the change (yet), but asking for other editor's opinions. -- Chris j wood 20:41, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Again ... lets not just base matters on google searches. I don't know which edition you used, but the English version gives:
- Pfälzer Wald - 637,000
- Palatine Forest - 1,250,000
