Sorry this didn't occur to me before the article was split up, but should this article be moved to "Afar Region"? I think the official name is simply "Afar" (making the current article name technically correct), but changing it would make it consistent with at least two other articles: Amhara Region and Somali Region (which, similarly, are officially called "Amhara" and "Somali" if I'm not mistaken). Or am I thinking about this too much? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:55, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Image:Actve volcano in Erta-Ale.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

– In line with the recent consensus at Talk:Oromia region, since sources don't mostly capitalize the word region in the names or descriptions of these regions (which do have other longer official proper names), and per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS, we should also not cap these. Dicklyon ( talk) 23:23, 28 May 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. BD2412 T 18:47, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Technical note: Except for Somali, each of the three names ( Afar, Tigray and Amhara) direct to a DAB page. In Some cases, there are articles on former administrative areas within Ethiopia with the same "primary" name. As I understand things, all of the pages for the modern administrative areas within Etiopia are titled "X region" - ie not just these four. This creates consistency in the naming across this category of articles. Such consistency is not mandatory but it is nonetheless nice to have. Furthermore, they appear to be based upon tribal areas, so there are articles that refer to the ethnic group of each tribe associated with each region and having the same name of the modern administrative region. These n-grams [5] [6] [7] [8] show that the name of each region "X" is most typically rendered as "X region" - ie "X region" is both most common and natural. Regards, Cinderella157 ( talk) 10:34, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Article titles are based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject.There is also WP:TRANSLITERATE and WP:ENGLISH. The guidance in each case is the we should rely on the English language sources to determine both the words used and the capitalisation (per WP:NCCAPS) applied to them. Further, WP:COMMONNAME applies over official name, providing that there are sources sufficient to determine a common name. So, it is immaterial that there might be an official English language name if there is an alternative and different English language common name.
