Beijing (name) → Names of Beijing – to conform to other articles that detail the various names of a location, and historical names for that location. This article covers not the name "Beijing" but the names for the place known as Beijing, since "Beiping" and "Yanjing" (etc) is not the name "Beijing" but other names for the place "Beijing" (they are completely different names, and not just alternate spellings) 70.24.247.66 (talk) 03:46, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Moving forward
Probably the best thing would be to have the names in a table, although that could get messy as the divisions change over time.
