[edit] Order of the Netherlands Lion

User:64.110.106.9 replaced all instances of Order of the Dutch Lion with Order of the Netherlands Lion. Now I'm neutral to this change, but it is a move request, since the name of the article is still Order of the Dutch Lion. If any one feels strongly about this change I propose he requests the change. -- C mon 18:01, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

"Netherlands Lion" is simply very poor English; it then should become "Netherlandish Lion" which sounds inane :o).--MWAK 07:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
It is not about what sounds good in English, the official name is "Order of the Netherlands Lion". I think it should be moved to the Order of the Netherlands lion. I think Wikipedia are the only people who call it the Dutch Lion. Woodym555 21:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
"Netherlands Lion" is is not simply very poor English, it is correct English. Moreover, Order of the Netherlands Lion is the correct name of the order, see the official website of the Chancellery of the Netherlands Orders:[1]. The name "Order of the Dutch Lion" is simply wrong; usage of denomination "Dutch" in these situations is an incorrect and common (annoying) made error ('Dutch' refers to a language or culture, e.g. a Fleming is also Dutch. Netherlands refers to a country). I have changed the title name. Demophon (talk) 06:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Humph, this had fallen off my watchlist. I was going to change it as well. I agree completely with the change. Woody (talk) 10:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
