Principality of Rugia → Principality of Rügen – Almost all sources except Wikipedia use "Rügen". E.g., Google Books has a ratio of 49 to 2 (and the latter are Wikipedia derived). —  AjaxSmack  00:13, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. Makes perfect sense, especially when the sources are in near-total alignment. -- Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 02:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Look, I hate to be a pain and bring up the diacritics issue, but I just went through the first 20 books from your link and they all used "Principality of Rugen" (no umlaut). I know there's the argument about how printer's couldn't add diacritics and we, Wikipedia, should be better than that. But per WP:V can you please at least show a few sources that use the umlaut (preferably in English)? Jenks24 (talk) 05:36, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, you read my my mind about the "printer's couldn't add diacritics" (or wouldn't). Google Books doesn't differentiate  between umlauted and non-umlauted forms in results but this one has them.  I put "Rügen" in the nom mainly because it matches the island of Rügen article here at Wikipedia.  —  AjaxSmack   16:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link. I'll go with weak support. I'd prefer "Principality of Rugen", but I don't think rehashing the diacritics argument at every RM that involves them is the way to go to resolve the issue. And, as you say, the proposed title is consistent with Rügen. Jenks24 (talk) 09:13, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Danish language?
If it was a Danish dominion, how come they didn't speak Danish there? Cledrupide (talk) 18:59, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
