Which name suits better for the article, Camberwell Beauty or Mourning Cloak? I'd say Mourning Cloak, because it is more universal. The butterfly's name is literally 'mourning cloak' at least in German, Swedish and Finnish. [1] The speakers of those languages would recognize easier what the article is about, if its name were Mourning Cloak. Only the British English name refers to Camberwell. -Hapsiainen 21:12, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Mourning Cloak → Nymphalis antiopa – In the British Isles, the name "Camberwell Beauty" is universally and exclusively used; in North America, "Mourning Cloak" is universally and exclusively used. The scientific name is the only plausible option according to the policy given at WP:TOL. --Stemonitis 10:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
