I corrected "Spitzbergen" (the German name) to Spitsbergen (the international as well locally official name). Someone reverted it twice with the pretext "not an improvement". This is wrong: in the article this name is written once as "Spitsbergen" and once as "Spitzbergen". As a general rule any name

Yes, thank you, and no harm meant: I realise now that the revert was the work of some bot. With all the respect, but this bot could possibly benefit from a bit of revision: I don't think "not an improvement" is an acceptable criterion, especially when the judge is some piece of software.

But the revision of 11 November said “If these other claims are false, the crew of the Norge would be the first explorers verified to have reached the North Pole.” So the section “Reaching the North Pole” did say ”the crew of the Norge … reached the North Pole.

should not be written in two or more different ways in the same article, so it is certainly an improvement to standardize the spelling. Explain please, why should it be better for this article to maintain this year-old flaw.
1109: 153: 940: 1009:, from what I can see, there doesn't seem to be an established variation of English, so since the topic of the article is Norwegian no particular version needs to be used due to national ties per 1104: 799:
The lede states " He led the first expedition proven to have reached the North Pole in 1926" but the section "North Pole" does not actually ever state that he reached the north pole.

Sorry I forgot to respond to your second question, I can revert that portion of my own revert since that seems less about EngVar and might very well be more grammatically correct.

The main point is that the section says that Amundsen reached the North Pole (your edits have made that clearer), and is the first man proven to have done so.
1164: 1074: 1139: 535: 634: 328: 1094: 852:
However, I have rewritten the text and now, I hope, it is clearer. I also added a citation that explicitly states that they flew over the north pole.
