authorized or authored?

[edit]
"Bodra authorized the following books in Varang Kshiti:"

The word "authorize" is closely related to "authority": To authorize a thing or an action is to permit it -- e.g., to permit the publication of a book. To author something -- almost always something written and of some significance -- is to create it. In this sense, "authored" is almost always just a pompous synonym for "wrote". If Bodra wrote these books, "wrote" is the right word. If he authorized them, it would be clearer if the article mentioned the type and scope of his authority. --Thnidu (talk) 03:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Varang Kshiti??

[edit]

The script, which this article is about is more commonly known as "Warang Chiti" rather than "Varang Kshiti". The name "Varang Kshiti" is obsolete, so, I think this article should be moved to Warang Chiti rather than being redirecting from it.Singkiring57 (talk) 03:19, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be several spellings.
I changed it to "Warang Citi", which appears to be the most common one, used in publications by Unicode, ISO 15924, Ethnologue, and scriptsource.org. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 13:06, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
