message: The article states that Cleveland repealed Prohibition on December 23, 1933, and I removed this statement, which used to follow the first: " – nearly eight months longer than the Eighteenth Amendment."  I assume that phrase referred to the Twenty-first Amendment, which was ratified on Dec. 5, 1933, which is eighteen days before Cleveland's repeal.  If it actually means something else, please re-word it and put it back in the article.  Confiteordeo 22:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

message: In a recent edit I changed to use the old spelling "Cleaveland" for entries in the "Timeline of events" section of this article, specifically entries from 1800 to 1818, then note and start using the later spelling of "Cleveland" as of 1831 and thereafter.  Note that I left the first entry with the modern spelling due to the wording "at the location that would later become Cleveland".  Does anyone object to such a change?  One user reverted it then reconsidered and kept it.  That user recommended the use of this talk page for a discussion of the matter. Can a consenus be reached?  Thanks. 24.44.14.186 (talk) 02:02, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My initial reversion was based on the erroneous impression that 24 (sorry, I never know how to address IPs) had introduced spelling errors.  When they calmly brought the full situation to my attention I realized what I reverted wasn't vandalism and undid my edit.  We had a brief discussion on my user talk in which I expressed my opinion that the "Cleveland" spelling shouldn't be replaced.  My reason for this position is based on this policy.  The spelling differences are covered in the article, which seems sufficient.  Regards  Tiderolls 02:49, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the clarification.  The cited policy of WP:COMMONNAME seems to apply to a choice for an article title.  The title of this article is History of Cleveland which seems quite appropriate.  My edit was not intended to lend support to renaming this article.  24.44.14.186 (talk) 12:22, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
