Move to Red Main[edit]

Unless there are major objections, as the first major editor of the article, I propose to move this article to Red Main which is its usual English name. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Roter Main → Red Main — because this is the more common English name, used by e.g. "Rivers of Europe" and by the Tourist Board of the region. Bermicourt (talk) 19:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here are just some of the references that use "Red Main". The first one is an authoritative source called "Rivers of Europe" published by a host of international authors in 2009, the second is the one by the Tourist Board of Franconia within whose region the river flows. The rest are examples of common usage:
