Talk:Reynistaðarklaustur

Article name needs correction edit

Reynistaðarklaustur is at Reynistaðr/Reynistaður, not Reynistathar. Most articles on Icelandic persons and place-names retain the 'ð' and the original spelling, so I vote for the article name being changed to "Reynistaðarklaustur", which is which the Swedish and Icelandic pages are named. It makes more sense to re-direct any old pages linking to "Reynistathar Abbey" to "Reynistaðarklaustur" than the other way around.

Otherwise, 'ð' should be changed to 'd' (not 'th'), and the 'ar' either dropped or changed to 'ur' (Reynistad Abbey or Reynistadur Abbey). --Sylgja (talk) 06:07, 5 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Reynistathar AbbeyReynistaðarklaustur – Reynistathar Abbey is a slightly incorrect Anglicization of Reynistaðarklaustur - Reynistaðarklaustur exists as a redirect page but this should be changed to the main page, since Reynistaðarklaustur is consistently the name by which the religious house is known in English-language literature on medieval Iceland (not controversial, just obscure!) Sylgja (talk) 20:10, 5 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
