– The all Azerbaijani city names should be moved to English version as it is official versions. Moreover, there is more results in English version of it and some Azerbaijani letters is unknown to readers, which will cause problems in reading the article such as "Gədəbəy".

- Comment. Gadabay redirects to the district page, not the city page. Dekimasuよ! 11:25, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

- Again, rather than single-handedly making an undiscussed bulk moves that affects the stable titling of an entire article corpus, note that recent English books do use Turkic diacritics for Azerbaijani the same as en.wp historically has done for all Turkic geo articles: [http://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Planet-Georgia-Armenia-Azerbaijan/dp/174179403X/ Lonely Planet Georgia, Armenia & Azerbaijan uses Turkic diacritics] [http://www.amazon.com/Azerbaijan-Excursions-Georgia-Mark-Elliott/dp/190586423X/ Azerbaijan Excursions Guide uses Turkic script] etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:47, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

- Doubtlessly they are primarily in English. They, however, have no style policies demanding that they write exclusively in English, so they can feel free to write however they like. Red Slash 00:31, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- Actually Lonely Planet has a very strict MOS, I know from personal experience that editors are not free, and that MOS is the same as en.wp's for WP Turkey etc. That's why they (and we) do it. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:12, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
