What is the right English name for the mountain range Karavanke?. Zocky are you sure that it is Karawanken. It sounds more like German to me. I believe it would be something like this: Karavanken Mountains with ordinary 'v'. --XJamRastafire 04:57 Jan 24, 2003 (UTC)

All pages in English I found on the Internet (including many based in Slovenia) call it Karawanken, as well as an atlas in English that I have seen. I think it just got into English from German. Of course the name is originaly Slovene (or at least Slavic), but that seems to be the way it is. Zocky 09:32 Jan 24, 2003 (UTC)

I've spotted some erroneous spellings on the map that should be corrected:

  • Grintavec should be Grintovec
  • Škofjelosko hribovje should be Škofjeloško hribovje
  • Jesenece should be Jesenice
  • Juliske Alpe should be Julijske Alpe
  • Kamniško Savinjske Alpe should be Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe
  • The river Idrija should be Idrijca, while the name of the town is spelled correctly.
The legend should say "Urban area (only for the settlements with over 25,000 inhabitants)" - using comma instead of the period as a thousands separator per WP:MOSNUM.
Also, due to the bilinguality of the region, Muggia should be Muggia/Milje, Gorizia should be Gorizia/Gorica, and Trieste should be Trieste/Trst (in the same manner as Koper is Koper/Capodistria)
Trdinov vrh should be put exactly on the Slovenian-Croatian border and should be named as Trdinov vrh/Sveta Gera, see Sveta Gera and its related talk page for an explanation.
Finally, if time permits, the status of the expressways should be updated according to this map made by DARS (Motorway Company in the Republic of Slovenia), dated to 16 July 2009. --Eleassar my talk 08:14, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
