[edit] Georgetown or George Town?
[edit] For "George Town"
- George Town - Andrew Yong 19:05, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
- According to the CIA World Factbook, it's George Town - Kriskhaira 05:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- is it Georgetown or George Town? - __earth 07:14, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Looks like a case of popularity (Georgetown) versus formality (George Town) - Kriskhaira 05:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- We don't even know which is the formal name. __earth (Talk) 03:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- There is no question that it has always been George Town. There are many Georgetowns and George Towns around the former British Empire and we were always taught that our city was the two-word version. You can still see manhole covers marked CCGT (City Council of George Town) all over the city. Andrew Yong 12:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yup, I saw a road signboard today - "George Town". - Kriskhaira 20:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For "Georgetown"
- I found most of the contents from Penang State Government website using "Georgetown" instead of "George Town". Can someone double check the name? --Aniweni 01:39, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
