Zngyelse?
editThe lede says that the base is also known as Zngyelse. Who calls it this, and why? It certainly looks like a confused misreading of the Russian name Энгельс, taking the Э for З and adding an odd letter e at the end. The ye in the middle would also be an unusual transliteration, although understandable. Is there a source behind this alternate name? A Google search shows a lot of web sites that similarly claim this name is "also used", but just as likely they're getting it from Wikipedia rather than the reverse. There's no hint of any such name in the Russian-language Wikipedia article, unless as I mentioned you misread the Russian name. --Amble (talk) 21:53, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Yep, that's why I came in here as well: you're misreading a Russian "Э" (simply "e" in English, like the "e" in "let") as a Russian "З", which is pronounced exactly like an English "z" - Zngyelse, I'm afraid, is complete gibberish - you should do a bit more work on your Russian, at least learn the alphabet properly!

I've removed it. --Amble (talk) 16:41, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Engel's
editSimilar to the above misnaming, I'm sure that the spelling "Engel's" has to be classified as wrong. I think it should be removed. If it is indeed so common that it needs to be kept in the article, it should at least be marked as erroneous. --BjKa (talk) 10:35, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Rename the page ?
editIt seems the current name is different from the title. --Wisdood (talk) 10:22, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
