A fact from Großmarkthalle appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 7 January 2008.

[edit] Name

I'm dubious about the move from Grossmarkthalle to Großmarkthalle. ß and ss are interchangeable in this case, and looking at the discussion about, say Voßstraße (or Vossstrasse), using ß is not, apparently, generally acceptable. athinaios (talk) 10:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Voßstraße is not a run of the mill issue. The main issue would be if current English sources use Grossmarkthalle. In absence of such sources Großmarkthalle will be used. Agathoclea (talk) 11:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is used in English with a double ss at times, mainly in the ECB context. Since the ss-spelling now redirects here, I think we can leave things as they are for the time being, unless there are objections. athinaios (talk) 11:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

English sources hardly ever use ß, and no evidence of any English use of the ess-tset for this particular marketplace was ever offered in support of that spelling. Furthermore, when Athenaios created the page he/she failed to add proper sort keys, and when Nightstallion (talk) moved it, he failed to complete the move and do it properly by fixing it so that it would sort properly in its categories. That's one good reason to fix it with normal English orthography. Gene Nygaard (talk) 08:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Correction; it wasn't the creation of the article by Athenaios, but rather the uncompleted move by User:Carabinieri which first caused the problem. Sorry I got that mixed up. Gene Nygaard (talk) 08:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I've just fixed the default sorting. —Nightstallion 16:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
