Please note that the correct French spelling of the région's name is Nord-Pas de Calais, and not Pas-de-Calais. The département of Pas-de-Calais, on the other hand, is spelled with hyphens, but not the région. Confusing I know. Hardouin 16:56, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would humbly disagree with this. According to this website, which appears to be the official French government agency for setting regional names, the région name is Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Do you have a different source for your information? I would like to reverse the roles of the Nord-Pas de Calais and Nord-Pas-de-Calais pages, i.e. make the first a redirect to the second. Currently, the second redirects to the first. Any comments would be welcome. Kiwipete 21:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Check the Nord-Pas de Calais regional council website: www.cr-npdc.fr. Hardouin 12:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The regional council's webmaster is wrong : fr:Pas de Calais is the Strait of Dover and fr:Pas-de-Calais is the french département. So, the correct spelling is fr:Nord-Pas-de-Calais as official INSEE says. heMmeR 05:43, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
