[edit] Greek Football

I just noticed that virtually all lower Greek teams are named "Town FC" in the name, e.g. Fokikos F.C. (Transliteration from greek "AS"), Anagennisi Arta F.C. (originally GAS PAE). This is on the one hand simplifying it, on the other hand wrong, only "PS" (if I'm not mistaken) would qualify. And normally I think you'd keep the original names. Others are Sports Clubs or Sports Unions or something completely different. I would consider it a good move to move these articles to the correct names, but don't do so as of now since the relinking would be some major work and I dunno whether there is some policy to do so. On the other hand, you do not say Milan F.C., Helsinki F.C. or Hamburg F.C. (where the first two at least mean "Football Club", which many of the Greek examples don't). --Ulkomaalainen (talk) 00:59, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
