This was apparently only a copy from the original SOUTHCOM press release. It's gone, but the editor archived the link, and that still works. If nobody else gets to it, I'll move the links around later when I have time. -- Randy2063 (talk) 04:25, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

2005 Qur'an desecration controversy → 2005 Quran desecration controversy –

  • I tried moving several myself and they were immovable. I'm hoping some admin will see this and swoop in. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:57, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
  • I see that all their names contain "Qur'an", but please what needs to be replaced by what in each name? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:46, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Response The main article and category are entitled "Quran" (sans apostrophe.) Thanks for writing me. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:33, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Some of the names are Arabic names for people or things, and there the apostrophe (representing glottal stop/hamza) should be present for linguistic correctness. In others the word "Qur'an" is used as English in an English name, and in those uses there is opinion for omitting the apostrophe.
    Many of the above entries are categories, which after decision about moving has been reached, should be handled in Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:54, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Consistency I have already removed some proper titles of books or institutions like King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur'an. Most of these (if not all) use the term generically and should follow whatever style the main article has. As I mentioned at the CfD, subcategories are eligible for speedy renaming. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:06, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
    • If the move is not contested. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
      • Response And it wasn't--it was speedy-renamed per C2D. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:40, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Support. "Quran" is the style of the Associated Press and is therefore dominant in news reporting.[1] There isn't a single common name for the book anymore, but "Quran" is the NPOV middle ground between "Qur'an" and "Koran". Kauffner (talk) 10:34, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Support all. Consistency is one of the key criteria of WP:AT. Jenks24 (talk) 22:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
