Talk:Cork

message: Do people think we could have this page be the city article, with a link to Cork (disambiguation) at the top of the page? Apparently Cork (the city) returns the most results in an Internet search. zoney ▓   ▒ talk 17:51, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: No. How can you claim that bottle cork is less important? The whole civilization rests on corks, pegs, stoppers. :-) Seriously, the topics are equally valid. BTW, how exactly did you separate cork from Cork in google? Mikkalai 18:55, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I was inaccurate. The "Cork" (city) results pop up first. But as regards importance... I'd imagine there are more links to the city than the object on Wikipedia. zoney ▓   ▒ talk 20:51, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

text: I believe that "Cork" should refer to the city with a disambiguation link at the top. The city is by far the most common usage of the name (not just on google) and common usage is always a major consideration in these matters on wiki. Moreover the article "Cork" is already a disambiguation page and this is uncommon in wikipedia were if their is an accepted common usage such as a place then this is the default.

replies: text:  In fact, according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions, despite the ongoing discussion of details, the proper name of the main article about the city would be Cork, Ireland. That's what I'm doing right now. Mikkalai 22:17, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  That convention Wikipedia:Naming conventions (city names), would appear to only apply to US cities and not neccessarily the rest of the world. Djegan 22:31, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  No. You'd better read all talk archives. BTW, after reading them I was inclined to accept your POV. Google shows the following staticstics (for English language pages:
*Cork: -- 2,500,000
*Cork + Ireland -- 1,630,000
*"Cork, Ireland" -- 452,000
*Cork + wine   --  417,000
*Cork + bottle -- 279,000
*"Cork City" -- 190,000
But, I suggest you to wait 2-3 more days. Maybe someone else joins the discussion and syas something smart. Mikkalai 23:17, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Cork isn't just a city it's the largest county in Ireland. Having "Cork" point to the city instead of the county would be ambiguous. Since cork is also a verb I think it might be clearer for "cork" to be a disambiguation page.
Cork City is used frequently to differentiate from Cork County so it would be easy and clear for the articles to use those names. Cork (material) seems less clear. Ronank 02:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
