Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved. The discussion about the main article resulted in it being moved to "Ubangi-Shari". Since the point of this move request was making this article's title consistent with the main article, I think that's settled now. Jafeluv (talk) 05:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Postage stamps and postal history of Ubangi-Shari → Postage stamps and postal history of Oubangui-Chari — The title of the main article uses the spelling Oubangui-Chari, so this article's title should be consistent with it. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:00, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That seems like a reasonable argument and uncontroversial, so just ask an admin to do it. ww2censor (talk) 03:20, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. (Am I too late?) Move the main article instead. "Oubangui-Chari" is the French name, and "Ubangi-Shari" is more common in English. For example, Britannica and Columbia use "Ubangi-Shari", and Encarta uses "Ubangi-Chari". Also, English language searches for "ubangi-shari" and "oubangui-chari" in Google Web and Google Books show that the former spelling is somewhat more common.

I'm placing this move-request on hold, as the "consistent with main article" argument is persuasive but the main article itself might not be proper. Jafeluv, please start a move-request on its talk page so we can get some resolution there before continuing here. DMacks (talk) 22:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vanjagenije beat me to it. The discussion is here. Jafeluv (talk) 11:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I thought You've forgot it. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:35, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
