Ravenstone with SnibstonRavenstone with Snibstone – I moved this Commons category to this title in November 2017 however User:Saga City pointed out the spelling of Snibston. This is the current name that the Ordnance Survey uses but the parish council if called "Ravenstone with Snibston Parish Council" (no "e" in "Snibston") and appears to refer to the parish its self as "Ravenstone with Snibston" and the parish was called "Ravenstone With Snibston" when it was created in 1884 so its possible that there has been an error with the OS, thoughts on which is best? I asked Saga City if they wanted me to revert the move but I didn't get a reply so I assumed that they were OK with it. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:40, 27 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose. The village is called Snibston. The parish council calls it Ravenstone with Snibston. Why on earth would we call it Ravenstone with Snibstone? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:17, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sinope edit

I clicked on Sinope and was redirected here. I wanted to learn about Sinope, how has a modern English village got a Latin name? Is it pronounced as with the Latin, "sinopee"?
