Name[edit]

Why not Dunes of Texel National Park?? Although I'm not a native speaker 'Texel Dunes' sounds quite strange to me. The website of the park also gives Dunes of Texel as the English name. Wenkbrauwalbatros (talk) 15:10, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear reason for moving the article name[edit]

It is unclear why was the article name moved by Lois12jd from "Dunes of Texel National Park" to "Duinen van Texel National Park"? Even the park's official website has an official English translation as "Dunes of Texel" and uses it. If there is an official English name translation for the original non-English name, I do not see the reason not to use the English translation on English version of the article. In that case it is common to just put the original language name in the brackets. Path-x21 (talk) 14:40, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is just a matter of consistency with the names of the other national parks, which are in Dutch. Lois12jd (talk) 14:55, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
