The name of the article should be simply Kaimakchalan. The spelling 'Talk:Kajmakčalan' had nothing to do either with the Greek spelling or the Cyrillic spelling in Macedonian. If anything, it reflects a Serbo-Croatian spelling. 'Kaimakchalan' is neutral. Politis (talk) 20:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Kajmakčalan is also the Latin transliteration of Кајмакчалан in Macedonian. --Local hero talk 14:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for that, which brings me back to my point that 'Kaimakchalan' is neutral, rather than have the Greek or Macedonian latinized versions of 'Kaimaktsalan' or 'Kajmakčalan' Politis (talk) 21:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well, I think the title should be whichever one is more frequently used. I'm not sure which one that is, though. --Local hero talk 22:02, 30 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
I dont think anyone outside of Greece or R.Macedonia have any idea of its existence :-). I wonder how English language historians of WWI mention it. Politis (talk) 22:36, 30 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
That's probably true. If there's no way of knowing which is more commonly used to refer to this place, then I'm fine with whatever name. --Local hero talk 14:44, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
