Talk:South Sudan Oyee!

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. But, no, this is no landmark case and there are no weighty implications for other articles. Compare Flower of Scotland with National anthem of Scotland (i.e. there's always a theoretical chance of difference in topic). Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 14:59, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

National anthem of Southern Sudan → South Sudan Oyee! — General policy for national anthems appears to be to use the name of the anthem itself where one exists: "Nahnu Jund Allah Jund Al-watan", "The Star-Spangled Banner", "Kimigayo", "Deutschlandlied", "La Marseillaise" and so on. --The Celestial City (talk) 22:43, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

• Per nom, I have to support, but in the case of a move we will have to consider doing some more renaming.
  • National Anthem of Zimbabwe → Blessed be the Land of Zimbabwe
  • National Anthem of Russia → National Anthem of the Russian Federation
  • Anthem of Transnistria → Slăvită să fii, Nistrene
  • National Anthem of the Udmurt Republic → Šundy sios džuato palèzez
  • National Anthem of the Dominican Republic → Quisqueyanos valientes
  • National Anthem of Paraguay → Paraguayos, República o Muerte
  • National Anthem of Barbados → In Plenty and In Time of Need
  • Afghan National Anthem → Sououd-e-Melli
  • Lebanese National Anthem → Kullunā lil-watan lil-ʿulā lil-ʿalam
  • National anthem of Turkmenistan → National Anthem of Independent Neutral Turkmenistan
  • National anthem of Yemen → Al-ǧumhūrīyatu l-muttaḥida
  • Tibetan National Anthem → Gyallu

Those are all anthems I could find that have names themselves but their names are not used as Wikipedia article titles. --Theurgist (talk) 15:16, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

• Far as I can tell, these should all probably be moved. The great majority of national anthems are already at the correct location. The Celestial City (talk) 21:26, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

• Where does "Sououd-e-Melli" for the Afghan National Anthem come from? I guess it could be a non-standard transliteration of ملي سرود, the Pashto term for "national anthem", but is that really the title? — AjaxSmack 23:25, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, possibly. With the above list I intended just to ennumerate all anthems in a possible need of renaming, and did not do much additional research. For the Afghanistani anthem, I used what several interwikis for Afghan National Anthem had chosen, and particularly the Estonian article, because the Estonian editors usually pay a lot of attention to transliterating Arabic-script names, note et:Usāmah ibn Lādin, et:Maḩmūd Aḩmadīnezhād. Maybe an editor who is more familiar with Afghanistan would clarify what the actual proper name of the country's anthem is, if there is one at all. (Also, some might want more trivial transliterations to be chosen for the articles on the anthems of Lebanon and Yemen, rather than the ISO-based scientific ones, although I personally would prefer otherwise.) --Theurgist (talk) 14:47, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Meaning of oyee

What does "oyee" mean? Anything like "oyez"? Greenshed (talk) 12:09, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I wondered about that too, so I found out about it. See my edit.—Quick and Dirty User Account (talk) 00:35, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

It's like "Yay!" or "Huzzah!", it's a nilote chant, it doesn't really have a explicit meaning above that. -- 94.170.94.249 (talk) 18:18, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
