Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. WP:ENGVAR advocates using a certain national variety of English when there are "strong national ties to a topic", and that does not seem to be the case here. It also notes that we should tend to "retain the existing variety", which seems at least as applicable. Dekimasuよ! 03:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Columbus Control CenterColumbus Control CentreWP:ENGVAR. Columbus is European. The UK is part of Europe, the USA is not. Therefore it is of more relevance to the United Kingdom than to the United States, and should use British English. —GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 18:04, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Britain is a member of ESA, the USA is not. What more evidence is needed? --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 07:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. It is a part of the ISS and the common spelling for that should be used. If I recall the press conference a few days ago, ESA is an 8.3% partner. So the US share and influence is larger. Also the guideline is to use the first spelling. 07:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The term is used here, On Nasa's official website, as Center. The official name trumps concerns over proper English. No objection to the redirect using the term with Centre, as that is indeed a reasonable search term. ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 14:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]
Any additional comments:

Is http://www2.gsoc.dlr.de/columbus/home.htm the Center's website? If it is, I would stick with the American spelling of the word just because the logo and links all use 'Center'. --Chipmunker (talk) 18:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

[edit]

User:Save-Me-Oprah has added {{mergefrom}} and {{mergeto}} templates suggesting merging the content of this article into Columbus (ISS module).

Comment - Well, it is only sort-of the same project. It turns out the Col-CC will also be used to supervise the flights of the Automated Transfer Vehicles. Don't you agree it would be a shame to duplicate the same material about the center in both the Columbus and ATV articles? (sdsds - talk) 21:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re-visit of Spelling of Columbus Control Centre/Center

[edit]

A proposal to return to using the European/British spelling of Centre.

As per ESA's offical Columbus page [1], it is officially known as the Columbus Control Centre, and believe this should be the offical Wiki title.
