I WANT TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE ARTICLE REGARDING BRIDGE NEAR RAMESHWARAM. FROM ADAMS BRIDGE TO SHRI RAM SETU BECAUSE IT IS INDIAN MYTHOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL MONUMENT AND MUST BE NAMED AFTER THE GREAT WARRIOR AVATAR OF LORD VISHNU (LORD RAM) AND HE IS THE 0NLY PERSON TO BUILD IT WITH HELP OF APES ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SCIENTIFIC REASON OF FLOATING OF STONES BUT IT IS ONLY HIS NAME WRITTEN ON EACH STONE WITH WHICH THE STONE FLOATS Darshan malshe (talk) 06:06, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, please see the above discussions. Start a well-sourced discussion on this talk page and gain consensus before requesting this again. —SpacemanSpiff 06:20, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And please don't SHOUT. It's hard to read. Rivertorch (talk) 06:24, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 27 June 2012

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please change all the mentions of Adam's Bridge to Ram Setu. The name "Adam's Bridge" name has no base and its falsification of the actual name. This is nothing more than mere imperialising History, facts and the truth.

Not done and not likely to be done As a previously discussed and rejected move, please read Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves first and file a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Read the policies and justifications, and draft a move request which addresses something not previously addressed. Previous move requests which have insulted other Wikipedia editors or impugned their motives have failed to get sufficient support to achieve consensus supporting the move. User:Mkweise, who created the page as Rama's Bridge on 13 May 2003, is still active, and could be asked why they created it at that title; it was not moved to Adam's Bridge until 19 March 2007. Sources in English fairly consistently call this Adam's Bridge first; as there are several other names in English, none of the others are consistently listed first.

Edit request on 2 July 2012

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please change title from "Adam's Bridge" To "Rama's Bridge" because historically the name "Rama's Bridge" (ca 1747) precedes "Adam's Bridge"(ca 1804) as per cartographers. Also redirection of a search for "Adam's Bridge" should be made to "Rama's Bridge" and not vice versa as it is being done now.

N Not done and not likely to be done. See the naming criteria policy; we are using "what the subject is actually called in English" as explained, several times, above. --Old Moonraker (talk) 12:21, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request for name change of the article from Adams Bridge to Shri Ram's bridge

Please change the name from Adams Bridge to its actual name Shri Ram's bridge because IT’ S INDIAN MYTHOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL MONUMENT. Shri Ramchanderji had made a bridge from India to Sri Lanka, now that is a fact and all Hindu’s believe it !!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anika49 (talk • contribs) 12:41, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is the English wikipedia and we follow WP:TITLE, using the most common name in English speaking sources. Note that a number of the sources using "Adam's Bridge" are Indian sources. Dougweller (talk) 13:28, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wheather this bridge is ram-setu is not clear and properly addressed in controversy section. Beging of 'name' section it is assumed that the bridge is same as the mythical bridge described in ramayana. I do not see any source for that. Please provide one, otherwise I will have to edit the name section considerabely.
