Disputatio:Columbopolis

If the city bears the name of Christopher Columbus, why do we not keep it at that name. Columbus is perfectly acceptable to latin. The article on Columbus uses "Columbus."Andy85719 00:58, 17 Iulii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, any city named Columbus in English is Columbus in Latin (and so says Traupman). Wherever did the idea of "Columbus City" (Columbopolis) come from? IacobusAmor 01:21, 17 Iulii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The Catholic diocese is "Dioecesis Columbensis" (see [1]) suggesting that the basic name is or should be Columbus. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 12:23, 17 Iulii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's definitely nothing on the rest of the internet for Columbopolis, except for one person in a Roman themed Web Forum who says he comes from 'Columbopolis, Ohii', which he may even have taken from this site. --Harrissimo 22:03, 17 Iulii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's in Egger's DL. Shall I move? Harrissimo 13:13, 19 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC).[reply]

I think then we should change the name in Formula:MaximaeUrbesAmericanae, too. Actually, that is also the place where I got the name of this article. Mars412 03:18, 13 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
