[edit] Page name
As far as I can tell, this battle is the only to occur here or have this name, so the date is not needed in the title. Battles should only have the date in the title when it is needed to disambiguate between several battles of the same name. Grunners 14:22, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- I guess you're right about the date. I'm curious about what the battle (and the town) are called in contemporary English, Steinkeerke looks pretty archaic. The French name is Steenkerque, Dutch Steenkerke. Probably "Battle of Steenkerque" would be a better name. Markussep 15:43, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

- Yes, and as it stands, the town and the battle have the place name spelt differently! Grunners 21:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

- Britannica says Steenkerke, the 1911 EB had Steenkirk (and Steinkirk and Estinkerke). The Columbia encyclopedia has Steenkerque for the village [1] and Steenkerke in references to the battle: [2], [3], [4], [5]. I have no idea where Steinkeerke comes from, it's only in wikipedia and clones. Probably a typo. I'll move this page to B.o.Steenkerque, and make a redirect from B.o.Steenkerke.
