Talk:Palace of Holyroodhouse

If it's "more commonly known as Holyrood Palace," then the Wikipedia naming conventions say it's supposed to be on a page with that title and this one linked to it. Or what am I missing, please? (I also note that you search for it with the two nouns only, which makes "Holyrood Palace" the more "natural" search entry.) -- isis 02:24 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)


 * Well, it's a tricky one, since the official name is the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Is it better to put it under the "common" (but unofficial) name or the official one? -- taras


 * by the way, I was only continuing the way it was structured before I changed it from Palace of Holyrood House to Palace of Holyroodhouse - I am open to change :)

I think it's better to go with the convention of using the "most common" form for the article title. When I created the original article, I was going by an old book and didn't know what the most common name is now; I was also very new to Wikipedia and not as familiar with the naming conventions as I am now. I'm sorry my ignorance led you astray. I don't always agree with what the most common form of a name is, but I do support the principle of using whatever it is for the article title. BTW, the redirect on Palace of Holyrood House is uncapitalized and therefore nonfunctional. -- isis 02:54 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)


 * Right, I moved stuff around so Holyrood Palace is now the main article. The rest is fixed.
