The article tells us that the name "Vendsyssel" is not quite correct to describe the island. Is there any reason not to move this article to an appropriate name? Kosebamse 12:41, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- The article tells that the name Vendsyssel locally (in Danish) is not used for the island, but for a part of it. But that does not prevent that "Vendsyssel" traditionally is used for the whole island in the English language - I do not know if this is the case, or if the original creator of the article maybe was misinformed.

I have no idea whether there is a traditional usage in English. If there is not, it would certainly be appropriate to move the article to the name that is considered correct in Denmark. Kosebamse 13:02, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- The name "Vendsyssel" seems to be caused by a misunderstanding. I will move the article to "Vendsyssel-Thy", which is name the used by Danish authorities. See for example this list of islands. Byrial 11:40, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
