Talk:Wuppertal, Western Cape
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Wuppertal in SA
Wuppertal in South Africa was founded in 1830 and the spelling at this time was Wupperthal. Thal = Tal = engl. Valley --Atamari (talk) 10:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. The sources I consulted about the spelling are The Standard Encyclopaedia of Southern Africa, the Reader's Digest Atlas of Southern Africa , the AA New Southern African Book of the Road and the Illustrated Guide to Southern Africa. It is named after the Wupper Valley in Germany and the present city is also called Wuppertal. Rotational (talk) 11:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes it's named after the town i'am live. But have they make a german-spelling reform? Look the URL of http://www.wupperthal.co.za/ the url http://www.wuppertal.co.za/ gives me a 404. --Atamari (talk) 19:20, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- You'll notice that on the site you mention, http://www.wuppertal.co.za/, the URL is ...tal..., the title of the page is ...thal... and all the references in the body of the page are ...tal... I'm afraid that thal is incorrect. Rotational (talk) 19:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
