[edit]It was noted that this article takes the name of a former name instead of its current name. Is there any special reason for this before a rename is made?--Huaiwei 6 July 2005 12:23 (UTC)
- Prince of Wales Building is the common name. — Instantnood July 6, 2005 12:57 (UTC)
- There is a major difference between using names of common uage in wikipedia and using outdated names. I would have tought this is elementary?--Huaiwei 6 July 2005 13:06 (UTC)
- I do not oppose moving this article according to the current name of the building. But it is a fact "Prince of Wales Building" is the name popularly known among Hongkongers, at least until the present moment. It'd be nice to hear about the comment from other Hong Kong wikipedians. — Instantnood July 6, 2005 13:25 (UTC)
- Yes, and you are repeating your point which I have already said makes no sense. I suppose the likes of you will be insisting that Beijing continue to be known as Peking despite the official change in name? Could you find us any other building article we have here which uses an old name instead of its current name? It will be interesting to find any such article!--Huaiwei 6 July 2005 13:58 (UTC)
- Take a look at the interwiki links of the Beijing article and see how many European languages are still calling it Peking or other similar spellings. ;-) — Instantnood July 6, 2005 14:56 (UTC)
- For your information, Peking is still an official and current English name for many Beijing institutions, so that hardly counts. See Peking University, and its official website [1]. If nothing more convincing could be said, the move will be made.--Huaiwei 05:36, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
