Talk:Mordova

Arbitrary section 1
Can anyone present any evidence that this is a common misspelling in English? It seems weird to have a disambiguation page on a misspelling. john k (talk) 22:15, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't speak for this specific example, but when typing I've left out the letter i more than once. Also, when hearing an unfamiliar name spoken by someone who doesn't enunciate clearly, r and l can sound similar.  I think this is a plausible misspelling of both words.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  05:22, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Disambiguation on a misspelling is something unusual but as said in the discussion we have regular hits. Personally I think the Morovia variant is the more likely one as I see hits for Mordovans as well. On the other hand, this would for example list a country Mordova.--Tikiwont (talk) 10:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually meaning Moldova. — Chesnok (talk • contribs) 11:20, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Which I understood as the reason why editors would want to have such a disambiguation page instead of the redirect to Mordovia although that already has a hatnote that maybe also can be improved. --Tikiwont (talk) 12:46, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
