:::If the users that seem to know most about the netherlands all agree that the correct name is s'Hertogenbosch then that should be the name of the article. If there was a common English name it might be different (like Vienna or Florence) but there isn't one. I think that there should be some kind of pronunciation guide for english speakers though.[[User:Cmurphynz|Cmurphynz]] 20:22, 11 July 2012 (EDT)

::::Honestly, this is just getting laughable. As stated before, I actually live in 's-Hertogenbosch. It's a very clear cut case on what the only correct and official name is to everybody. There doesn't EXIST any "Hertogenbosch", even if you google it you'll only get results of the actual name "'s-Hertogenbosch", including apostrophe, the dash and the s. It has been explained over and over again that there is just one single correct name in both Dutch and English, using many different sources.
::::However, one admin originally made an understandable mistake on the city's name (who could blame anyone for not knowing the spelling of some town thousands of kilometers away), but instead of correcting it he apparently got real angry and started a huge backlash on all articles concerning the Netherlands and threatening people to respect his admin status on people's talk pages.. I'm sure to get banned for coming to that conclusion but really, it's the only conclusion you can draw from seeing his actions. If there were any other reasons, he could've easily explained them in the many different sections we had on it on this talk page. But he chose to ignore all arguments and reasons. Nothing worse than an admin believing he can use his admin powers to force "being right" :-( --[[User:GTac|GTac]] 13:00, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
