Move war needs to stop[edit]

I have twice reverted the undiscussed move of this article from its original location, Oreochromis aureus to Blue Tilapia. In line with many other articles in which there is no universally accepted common name, the scientific name is used as the location of the article. Since the fish in question is known by more than one name (Blue Tilapia, Israeli Tilapia, Blue Kurper, and others), the latin name should be used as the location for the article, with redirects from other titles as appropriate. Please do not move the article again without a discussion here or at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thank you. Horologium (talk) 00:39, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've observed this move war, and I agree that the Latin name is the appropriate page name here. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:03, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, these supposedly common names are local, and the scientific name is more appropriate. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 12:29, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
