(I'm new to all this.) I'd like to request that the Oriya language wiki be moved to Odia language. The talk page appears to have had a (now archived) discussion on this subject and the decision appears to have been against the move. While the primary reason behind the decision appears to be "Nobody actually uses 'Odia'", I find this point of view short-sighted. The name change is not an arbitrary one, but an official decision by the Government of Odisha, representatives of the people. The change to the new spelling has been gradual, but it is happening. The rate of change (in my experience) is not dissimilar to that of the switch from Orissa to Odisha. Any arguments against the move from Oriya to Odia should also hold for Oriss to Odisha. Yet, Wikipedia prefers the spelling of Odisha to Orissa even though the latter is still the more prevalent. This position is inconsistent. IMHO, it should either be Orissa and Oriya or the official names of Odisha and Odia. -- Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) 11:33, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

The close is fine, however, the 3-month moratorium on move requests has created a lot of problems. The problems are outlined in my comment here (discussion with the closer). In a nutshell, the original title was too POV, the new title is neutral (rightly so) but overly broad, referring to the whole of 2014 rather than the events of July 2014 which is what the page is about. Due to the confusion, there are multiple battles going on like those outlined here and here. I believe the moratorium should be lifted in so that I can propose a neutral title, like "Gaza War (2014)" which is similar to other titles like Gaza War (2008-09) to define the scope of the article precisely. Plenty of sources detailed here for the new title. Kingsindian ( talk) 19:07, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

I requested that this move be relisted so that I would have an opportunity to address it when I got home from Wikimania. It is my absolute right to request a relisting, for any any reason, and this request was ignored, resulting in a move being carried out with no evidence being presented to upset the existing primary topic consideration. Furthermore, relevant projects which I would have notified upon my return went unnotified. I request that the move be reversed so that a properly publicized discussion can be carried out with properly adduced evidence. bd2412 T 00:46, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
