- That is supposed to mean that the article should be moved, I guess. The difference in search results is however really not big enough. I'd prefer an argument based on recognizability, but then someone else would come along and say that for historical battles we use historical names, etc. Unless there is a compelling reason to move, don't.

Not Necessary. I only wanted to compare them :) I "simply and solely" prefer "common use" in English, if there was no controversy. What do you think of Talk:Battle of Ankara#Battle of Angora and Talk:Siege of Shkodër ? Takabeg (talk) 19:02, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- A bit off topic, but we're probably alone here ;) On Shkoder/Scutari, I support Scutari, for the reasons others too have stated. On Ankara, IMO the correct way would be to compare [1] with [2], i.e. post-1900 results. And if one discounts the dozens of reprints of Gibbon, the number for "Angora" is even lower. Similarly, if in 400 years the Siege of Scutari is more commonly referred to in literature as "Siege of X", then I'd support that one. Constantine ✍ 19:25, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Siege of Prusa → Siege of Bursa – per WP:COMMONNAME
According to google books research:
- "Siege of Prusa" -Llc minimum 14, most of them were written in 18th and 19th centuries.
- "Siege of Brusa" -Llc minimum 13
- "Siege of Bursa" -Llc minimum 16
Jan 1, 1980–Sep 13, 2011:
- "Siege of Prusa" -Llc minimum 1
- "Siege of Brusa" -Llc minimum 4
- "Siege of Bursa" -Llc minimum 12
It's very clear that modern scholars don't prefer Siege of Prusa.

- Support As Takabeg says, it looks like "Siege of Prusa" was used in 19th century history books. "Siege of Bursa" is almost exclusively used by modern historians. Filanca (talk) 13:26, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
