[edit] Page moved from Styvechale to Stivichall

Per Wikipedia naming conventions for places, Generally, use the official English name for the place and its type and determine prevalent usage.

Maps use "Stivichall" [1]; the modern spelling wins on Ghits (27,200 compared to 11,100 for Styvechale), and Coventry City Council spells it Stivichall exclusively [2] vs [3].

Therefore, I cannot see anything other than "Stivichall" being the correct spelling for use on Wikipedia. However, it is correct to refer to the traditional spelling as well. DWaterson 21:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fenside

I believe the area referred to as "Fenside" is considered as within Stivichall. Curran1980 20:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that you are right and I have made amendments. Snowman 13:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
