[edit] Move Proposal

The above move was requested by Mst. He neglected to add the above notice so I did. I do not support the move myself. Superm401 | Talk 01:11, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

• Object. Both versions of the name are common, from what I can see. It would be difficult to prove the new version is the official one. Superm401 | Talk 01:11, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
