thread_title: Survey - in opposition to the move

message: If I had known earlier about the above survey, I would have supported the move.  The only reference to the Elsinore that I have seen, was a comment in a guide book that Helsingør was 'possibly the inspiration for Shakespeare's Elsinore'. I am not convinced that Elsinore is the 'standard' english name for the city.

replies: text: I'd have supported it as well. No reason why this name should continue to stick just because Shakespeare invented a fictional town with a similar sounding name. All his other "Danish" names are nonsense as well. Valentinian T / C 11:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The name "Elsinore" is used in the speakers on the Öresundståg. "Next stop: Copenhagen Central Station. This train continues to Elsinore" or something similar. As far as I know, the message is only in English when København H is the next station: otherwise, it is either only in Danish or only in Swedish. (83.250.236.39 (talk) 09:18, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

message: * I would like to argue that "Elsinore" is the english name of this town. Due to it's famous castle, Kronborg, and the former Øresund-payment.  (All ships that passed through the most narrow part of Øresund had to pay a kind of tax to the danish crown for several hundereds of years before Shakespeare wrote "Hamlet". This tax was to be payed in this town, on the Sealand side of Øresund.) Due to these facts I find it established that the town had different names in different languages. Sheakspeare knew this when he wrote "Hamlet". I hereby do suggest a change of the name of this article to Elsinore which is it's english name. "Copenhagen" is not redirected to "København" , the danish name of it's capital. So why shall we differ in this article ? 83.249.41.242 (talk) 19:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In the old attempt much is based on what some people thinks. The basic question here is
What is this town known as  in English ?. This is a general matter about the English language. Should we use local names before English ones ? This comes naturally down to how established an English name is, but deals with all types of geographical issues. IF this town mainly is known as "Elsinore" in English, then we are obliged to use "Elsinore". For the inhabitants of the town, they ought to see it as a (positive) recognition, their town is well-known or famous. But it's NOT up to local residents do make decitions about an other language. I think some non-native English speakers believes this Wikipedia to be some kind of "World Wide" Wikipedia in every possible sence. I would urge all such people to think again. And there is indeed a Danish Wikipedia, which is quite good on Danish topics. Boeing720 (talk) 17:58, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
