[edit] Unsectioned comments

Why does Common Market have to refer to the European instance? There are other common markets, whether already in existance or developing. Xyzzyva 17:55, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

yes, currently the article (single market) reflects this. Alinor 17:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Common Market → Common Market (Music) – Common marketCommon market (Economics) … Rationale: The only thing currently separating the economic term and the name of a music group (Common Market) is a capital letter and this appears to cause confusion and leads to trouble when using the "back" or "forward" buttons of internet explorer (explorer just skips over one article or the other). I think they should both be changed so that the music group goes from Common MarketCommon Market (Music) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Common market -- 208.131.183.198 17:25, 31 August 2006 (UTC) 208.131.183.198 17:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC) Note: Please add your vote to the Survey at Talk:Common market. Please specify which move, if any or even both, that you prefer.
