=Georgetown vs George Town revisited=== 

 It appears that the question has been raised again, and for understandable reasons – Google searches yield numerous hits for both forms.  However, this may be a case of unchecked common usage of the form which appears to have propagated through the internet.  A sampling of non-internet sources, and possibly internet sources that have pre-internet origins appears to provide reliable evidence of the "George Town" form. 

 * In the Rand McNally Illustrated Atlas of the World (1985 edition) shows the city as "George Town", both on the southeast Asia map and in the index.  The index shows twelve cities and towns worldwide names "Georgetown", and two named "George Town", so it is understandable that common usage would confuse the two in favor of the more common name in casual writing. 
 * I have a globe (Reploge World Nation Series, circa late 1990's) that also shows the city as George Town. 
 * The the CIA World Factbook (as referenced above) shows the city as George Town.  (The CIA map has also been uploaded here.)  Although this is an internet source, this is very likely based on material compiled by the CIA over many years prior to its publication on the internet. 
 * Users Andrew Yong and Kriskhaira above offer additional testimony that the city's name as "George Town". 

 As for the internet, I suspect that we can produce as many seemingly authoritative sites using "Georgetown" and we an for "George Town". 

 * The UNESCO World Heritage List shows "George Town", but this posting of that same press release introduces the town as "Georgetown". 
 * Encyclopaedia Britannica shows map with "George Town", but Encyclopedia.com refers to "the city of Pinang, also known as Georgetown". 
 * This tourism map shows "Georgetown", but This tourism map shows "George Town". 
 *Even the local news publications are mixed.  this article in The Star uses "Georgetown" throughout its body, while this article from the same news source uses "George Town".  Further searches within that site seem to prefer "George Town". 
 *Another newspaper, The New Straits Times, has a mix, but seems to favor "George Town" over "GeorgeTown". 

 Given the mix of present day references, I think we should stick with the historic name, "George Town".  That also appears to have been the long term usage within this article.  The prior discussion above, although not formally declared, seems to have resulted in no consensus.  At present, it does not appear that new consensus for a change has been formed.  So I am restoring the article to its prior name and content.
