Move

[edit]

Why was this article moved outside of the channels of WP:RM? IJA (talk) 15:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? None of the previous names are the common name.--Zoupan 18:52, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
See my search results below which differ with your argument. IJA (talk) 19:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
False results.--Zoupan 19:20, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gračanica LakeBadovac Lake – This article was controversially and unilaterally moved without consensus or evidence for being the common name. This article should moved moved back to its original name. IJA (talk) 15:28, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was not controversial. False hits. Have you still not learnt how to get to the real numbers after all these years? I get "Gračanica Lake" (59) and "Badovac Lake" (88) on Google, which is nowhere near "823.25 times". The Gbooks hits still 4 versus 0, plus "lake of Gračanica" (1).--Zoupan 19:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Incorrect it says at the top "About 354,000 results (0.57 seconds)" and "About 430 results (0.48 seconds)". IJA (talk) 19:28, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
...go to the last page?--Zoupan 19:30, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I got to page 83 and I can't be bothered going any further. IJA (talk) 19:36, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Impossible. Search ["Badovac Lake" -wikipedia] and go to the last page. What do you get? I now got 84 for "Badovac Lake" and 57 for "Gracanica Lake". --Zoupan 19:40, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well on page 83 of the google search it showed me the 821st result to the 830th result and I like I said I don't have the time or the effort to go any further. IJA (talk) 20:42, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
...Search exactly as I put it, ["Badovac Lake" -wikipedia].--Zoupan 03:56, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Badovac Lake" -wikipedia That is what I have exactly been searching. IJA (talk) 14:23, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Badovac lake is not commonname, while Gračanica is. 4 results on GBooks, with only one result for Badovac, and that is wiki mirror. And 400 search on Gračanica Lake, without over 2200 on Gračaničko jezero. It is obvious it is commonname, and i dont understand how you had that strange false hits... --Axiomus (talk) 08:49, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - "Badovac Lake has many more google hits than "Gračanica Lake". Also the number of google hits for "Gračaničko jezero" is irrelevant as it uses the Serbo-Croatian word "jezero" which in English is "Lake". This is English Wikipedia not Serbian or Croatian Wikipedia, we use the English Language not the Serbo-Croatian Language. Google Searches in the Serbo-Croatian Language are irrelevant when trying to establish the common name in the English Language. IJA (talk) 14:23, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
