Dharamsala > Dharamshala disruption
Please stop chaging the spelling of the name. The spelling is "Dharamsala", not "Dharamshala" and continuously reverting to the incorrect spelling is disruptive, especially since this is done without edit summary, let alone discussion. The article can be found at Dharamsala - changing the spelling changes the link. S facets 07:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC) --- Hello Dharamsala speller. The official spelling of this place is Dharamshala. You cannot change name of a place just because you like it or you prefer it that way.

Dharamshala is in Himachal Pradesh, a small state in northern India. It has officially been declared and acknowledged that the place will be spelled as Dharamshala.

A local resident. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.94.244.15 (talk) 15:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC) --- Additional information about the Dharamsala/Dharamshala spelling, from personal observations living in the area: Avaarga (talk) 03:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The word "dharamshala" is a Hindi word that means "pilgrim's rest". And that is the name of the town, as well as several other towns in India.
 * For some reason, possibly due to the influx of Tibetans and westerners into this particular "Dharamshala", and also to the rather loose Indian attitude towards spelling, this town got to be known with the spelling "Dharamsala".
 * Since most shops in India put their address on their signs, including the name of the town they are in, an un-scientific but possibly informative observation was conducted in April 2008 by this writer. On a bus trip through the main road of the town, the face was pressed to the bus window. As many shop signs as possible were eyeballed, and the spellings tallied by finger count. Not super-accurate! -- but the estimate is that around 80% of the shop signs had it spelled "Dharamshala".
 * Although still spelled "Dharamsala" on many maps and books (again, remember that almost every latinized word in India has multiple spelings! Check out any menu or sign in India.), the official, Indian government, name of the town is "Dharamshala".
