[edit] Article name

Should this article be named "Greenlandic krone", or "Greenlandic koruuni"?

Likewise, should Greenland rigsdaler be named "Greenlandic rigsdaler"? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 08:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Koruuni appears to be the name that will appear on the new notes so, even though it wasn't on the old notes or coins, I guess we should move it. As to Greenlandic, is there precedent elsewhere in Wikipedia? If so, no problem.

Yes, see Greenlandic. —Nightstallion 16:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Have we seen the image of the notes to be issued in 2008? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 03:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
I haven't, why? —Nightstallion 15:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
We should have a source for the "koruuni" assumption. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 17:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Greenlandic koruuni → Greenlandic krone — per WP:UE (use English for article titles) and WP:UCN (use the most common name for article titles). Greenlandic was not an official language when this currency was issued and Krone is what appears on the coins.[1][2]

See the above two sections and Talk:Brunei ringgit#Requested Move for related discussion. A proposal to modify Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style that currently call for using non-English names for currencies is also under discussion at its talkpage. — AjaxSmack 22:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Oppose This is the local form of the currency name. It's about to be issued once more with this name being used.

  • Support. Krone is the common English name for this currency. – Axman (☏) 15:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support Why use local forms, unless English does? We exist to communicate. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:
  • Comment I want to point out that neither koruuni or krone is English. "Crown" is the English word. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 19:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
As an encyclopaedia, Wikipedia exists to educate and communicate the truth, not a pseudo-Anglicized version of reality.
