Talk:180th meridian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] End Meridian

This article cannot be named End Meridian because that name has no support whatsoever. It is a neologism which is unacceptable in Wikipedia. Wikipedia:Naming conventions requires, among other considerations, that the most common English name be used. You cannot create a name just to give some 'status' to a common name like the original name of this article, 180th meridian, or as Chris Dybala tried to justify, "To make the name more advanced like prime meridian". — Joe Kress 06:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree!! If a "more advanced name" is desired, then the user could use "antimeridian," which can be found in the literature. "180th meridian" is the more common name, however, and should remain the title of the article. I will revert the move in about five days unless there is opposition. --Lasunncty 17:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Not a country. . . . 71.102.144.27

Good point. I've edited the article accordingly. -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:12, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
