[edit] Pagan vs. Bagan

Someone who understands the difference between Pagan and Bagan needs to clarify the use of the term Bagan in this article. The article is on Pagan, but the term Bagan is introduced without explanation and is frequently used after that, apparently in place of the word Pagan. JD Lambert 14:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Pagan is the former English name for what is now spelled Bagan. Many city names or spellings were changed by the Burmese government in 1989. See Names of Burma/Myanmar for more information on the name changes. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 15:15, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I added the substance of your comments in a new note on the article. JD Lambert 20:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
