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)
- The source states that "De Nederlandse namen zijn vervallen", which is essentially the same. I added a second source for more proof. May I remind you that both the Taalunie and the Fryske Akademy have no authority on this subject whatsoever? The municipality gets to decide what the names of their villages, towns and cities are, and no one else. They state that the old names are to be considered archaic and that they should disappear (and they did), that's all that matters. I can decide to call Damwâld "Damforest" and maybe even convince others to do so, but that doesn't make "Damforest" the actual name. HendrikJan1968 (talk) 14:44, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- 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.. DagneyGirl (talk) 17:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

- DagneyGirl, you are doing this here too. Could you explain why? It makes no sense in English.
- Please use the official names if an English exonym does not exist (which for villages is usually the case). There is no reason to use archaic Dutch names on the English language Wikipedia, especially in cases where these aren't even used in Dutch anymore (e.g., Grou, Roordahuizum). --JeroenHoek (talk) 15:10, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
