A fact from Klaipėda Castle appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the museum of the long-demolished Memel Castle, Lithuania (pictured) is located in an underground chamber?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/August.

As per Gdansk vote, the correct name would be Memel Castle. We have Königsberg Castle rather than Kaliningrad Castle. --Ghirla^-трёп- 12:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But we have Malbork Castle, etc. In other hand, Memelburg should be instead of Memel Castle. Knowing complexity of this issue, before making this article I investigated name usage, currently established museum uses (in EN) Klaipėda Castle as well as museum publications do so. So I decided to go with museum preferred name. I also would like to know what thinks other editors, before making any moves. M.K. 14:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naming[edit]

25 English pages for "memelburg castle" -wikipedia
11 English pages for "memel castle" -wikipedia
133 English pages for "klaipeda castle" -wikipedia

These results are affected by the popularity of the Klaipeda Castle Jazz Festival.

One consideration is the usage of Klaipeda Castle by the European Network of National Heritage Organisations [1]. This multinational org works with the European Commission. Novickas 18:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As the Gdansk vote determined, we should not be duped by google search results, which only reflect Lithuanization policies of the official administration. The castle was not built by the Lithuanians. Actually, it was never administrated by Lithuania. --Ghirla^-трёп- 18:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Í agree with Ghirla, Memel Castle should be the name of the article. Other variations, such as the Lithuanian and possibly the German naming, may be observed in the intro. --Camptown 22:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was this ever resolved? I think its weird that the name is Klaipeda Castle given the history, and aforementioned points--Simen113 (talk) 22:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Gdansk vote[edit]

I believe Talk:Gdansk/Vote should apply here. Here is the template. -- Petri Krohn 07:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page is affected by the Gdańsk (Danzig) Vote. The following rules apply in the case of disputes:

For Gdańsk, use the name Danzig between 1308 and 1945
For Gdańsk, use the name Gdańsk before 1308 and after 1945
In biographies of clearly German persons, the name should be used in the form Danzig (Gdańsk) and later Danzig exclusively
In biographies of clearly Polish persons, the name should be used in the form Gdańsk (Danzig) and later Gdańsk exclusively.
For Gdansk and other locations that share a history between Germany and Poland, the first reference of one name in an article should also include a reference to other names, e.g. Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) or Gdańsk (Danzig). An English language reference that primarily uses this name should be provided on the talk page if a dispute arises.
Reverts to conform with community consensus are excluded from the three-revert rule (3RR). Only the place names can be reverted exempt from the 3RR according to the outcome of this vote, additional changes fall again under the 3RR. Please use descriptive edit summaries.
Persistent reverts against community consensus despite multiple warnings may be dealt with according to the rules in Wikipedia:Dealing with vandalism. In case of doubt, assume good faith and do not bite newcomers.

The detailed vote results and the vote itself can be found on Talk:Gdansk/Vote. This vote has ended; please do not vote anymore. Comments and discussions can be added to Talk:Gdansk/Vote/discussion anytime. This template {{Gdansk-Vote-Notice}} can be added on the talk page of affected articles if necessary.
