[edit] Work
"Those who have worked for in the City" is obviously wrong, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to be "have worked in the City" or "have worked for $something in the City" so I won't correct it. dahamsta 08:28, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Article title
The legal name is "The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London". Most people call it the "City of London". The Common Council decided that if "City of London" was confusing then "City of London Corporation" could be used as disambiguation.[1] --Henrygb 23:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] City of London vs. Corporation of London
What's the difference and relation between the City of London and the Corporation of London? I'm confused. Thanks in advance. ——Nussknacker胡桃夹子^.^tell me... 12:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Essentially, the City of London is the area and the Corporation of London is that area's governing body. The Corporation of London is to the City of London what Westminster City Council is to the City of Westminster. Proteus (Talk) 12:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Somebody from the City of London Corporation emailed us about their name change. Please do not revert the name change. See [2]:
- The "City of London" will be the title used on a day-to-day basis and for branding all activities. The full name of "City of London Corporation" will be used where it is necessary to distinguish the Corporation from the financial City. David.Monniaux 23:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

- They can call themselves whatever they like (whether "on a day-to-day basis" or for their "branding"), but we are under no obligation to follow suit. WP policy is to use common names, and "Corporation of London" gets more than four times as many Google hits as "City of London Corporation". (And I don't like the way this "official" has gone about this at all. If he doesn't like the article name, he can create an account and come and argue his case like anyone else, instead of issuing quasi-decrees as if organisations own their articles and can dictate what actual editors do on them by sending e-mails to TPTB.)

In practice, organizations requesting changes to articles typically write directly to the Wikimedia Foundation. David.Monniaux 17:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
