Should the article page be renamed from "Great Plague of Marseille" to "Great Plague of Marseilles" (note the additional letter "s" at the end of Marseilles)? The "Category:Pandemics" page lists the "Great Plague of Marseilles", which is an invalid link because of the extra letter "s" But since the French city's name is actually "Marseilles" (with the "s"), then this article should be renamed.
- I think you'll find the city is spelled both Marseille and Marseilles in both French and English, and that Marseille is the preferred spelling (in both the French Larousse and the English Merriam Webster). Best just make a redirect. - Nunh-huh 00:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
OK...thanks...I see the Category:Pandemics entry now points to ...Marseille (without the "S") now so the broken link is fixed which is all that really matters. (although I didn't know that BOTH Marseille and Marseilles were valid - thanks for the info)
- Thanks for spotting the problem. - Nunh-huh 03:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
