[edit] International Four Days Marches Nijmegen
I do not understand the rename action of this article by User:Ngio.
The action: changing 'International Four DayS MarchES Nijmegen' to 'International Four Day March Nijmegen'.
Pro:
- Four Day March is a compound, so doesn't take number agreement.
Points against:
- Official name at website of Stichting 4DAAGSE is International Four Days Marches Nijmegen.
- Every day the participants will come back to Nijmegen and in this way we can talk about 4 seperate marchES in 4 dayS. Yes indeed you only receive a medal after completing the four days.

- Dear Vincent, sorry about that, I probably did the wrong thing renaming this. If Stichting Vierdaagse calls it International Four Days Marches Nijmegen then that's what we should call it in Wikipedia, even if it isn't proper English. It's hard for us native speakers to get used to the fact that continental Euro-English isn't the same thing as we learnt at our mothers' knees. I don't however think that your argument about the four seperate marches on four days will fly: that would be the Four International Day-Marches (now I'm just being silly!). Anyway, I'll move it back. -- Ngio 18:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
