[edit] 'Copperbelt' should be one word

The normal spelling is one word, whether referring to the name of the province specifically or to the mining area in general. You never see it as two words in the Copperbelt towns. Google searches throw up 4 times as many pages for 'Copperbelt' as 'Copper Belt' and most of the latter pages refer to belts made of copper or copper mining areas in Vermont and Arizona. I tried to rename the page to 'Copperbelt' but someone has already redirected a page of that name to this one and I can't do it. Can an administrator please change it and get rid of "Copper Belt" which does not apply to Zambia.Rexparry sydney 07:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
