:::No it does not, you're taking a sentence out of context to bend it to you're point. " straten en wegen te veranderen van Nederlandse in Friese namen" comes before it. It only stated that that the Dutch names are to disappear from use within in the municipality. Saying something like Taalunie and Fryske Akademy has no authority is nonsense, they are rule makers of the languages. A mission statement not proof of the fact you claimed. Please stop bending sources to you're own opinion.. [[User:DagneyGirl|DagneyGirl]] ([[User talk:DagneyGirl#top|talk]]) 17:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC) |

:DagneyGirl, you are doing this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Leeuwarden&curid=45884&diff=1017175648&oldid=1007525050 here] too. Could you explain why? It makes no sense in English. |

DagneyGirl, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Damwâld
Please refrain from removing useful and important information from Wikipedia. I assume you have good intentions, but the fact that the municipality considers the old name to be archaic is at the very least noteworthy. If you continue to vandalize these articles, you'll receive an official warning. --HendrikJan1968 (talk) 19:33, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- The source does not state in anyway that the Dutch names are archaic only that they are officially replaced by the West Frisian names. Please don't use the source to bend to something that it's not saying. Taalunie, the province, the Kadaster (see https://topotijdreis.nl/ 2020-map) and Fryske Akademy (who worked together with the Taalunie for the list on the Taalunie) still see Damwoude as the Dutch name. See also the talking page. DagneyGirl (talk) 05:38, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
