I just discovered that this page's name was changed from "Name of Pittsburgh" to "Etymology of Pittsburgh", with the edit summary reason: "As per precedent at Category:Placename etymologies". I think the new page name is not ideal, as it isn't about the etymology of the name but rather the history of its spelling--specifically the battle between the US federal government and local interests circa 1890 to 1910. "Etymology" doesn't seem like the appropriate term here. How about moving back to "Name of Pittsburgh"? Pfly ( talk) 17:48, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move. No opposition after over 7 days. Cúchullain t/ c 14:55, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
Etymology of Pittsburgh →
Name of Pittsburgh – return to the article's former title as a more accurate representation of the article's content. The vast majority of the article is about the history of the name of Pittsburg(h). This is belated action on an earlier request
above. —

Some information in this article differs from the official website of "Visit Pittsburgh". The article claims that the Charter of the city lists Pittsburg without the "h", but the website states: "... the original 1816 charter specified the name of the city to be Pittsburgh, and that only the copies of the charter featured the erroneous spelling "Pittsburg." I don't have any way to determine which is correct.
