- It's late, I'm tired, I'm writing in Newenglish.
- It is a philosophical point here. For a name which is English and has a known equivalent (Sandwich = Sandwic, Ocean Harbour = Garsecg Hæfen) then that calls for an Englisc version. If the name is foreign, like Husvik, Grytviken, Moscow and so forth, and there is no known Englisc equivalent, then there are limits.

- Although Wodenhelm may have been only asking, I was not (actually, I was answering). Indeed it is a philosophical point (one which I am in opposition to Hogweard over, obviously), and may I point out that, according to your philosophy, we should have an article on "New Zeeland" (or at most "Niwe Zeeland") and not "Niwe Sæland". Consider, Zeeland is Dutch - Husvik is Norwegian - they both very much have an Englisc equivalent if you take it element by element, but otherwise not. So, who's up for moving "Niwe Sæland"? Not I. Willcume ic þec on míne brúcendsídan! 22:14, 22 Ēastermōnaþ 2010 (UTC)
