[edit] Moved without the full stop

I moved St. James's Park to St James's park (without the full stop) because according to the official website, it doesn't have a full stop. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Parable1991 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC).

I'm afraid that I've moved this back.

There was a discussion about this a while ago (2004?), and the "full stop" is indeed part of the name. I've got a few 'photos of the park's signage to prove it if you really want. :-)

A web-site is a very poor guide for what is "correct", as they're normally done by web designers rather than people familiar with the topic.

For comparison, St. James's Park tube station is also with the dot.
