Reopen Requested Move
What’s the deal with the rejected requested move? Andyharbor (talk) 00:31, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- I’m not about to read all of the back and forth on the previous discussion, but according to Wikipedia naming policies this article should clearly be titled “Côte d’Ivoire”. What’s the argument against? I’m genuinely curious. Andyharbor (talk) 00:33, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- There were some procedural issues with the last request which resulted in nothing happening. I suggest making the next request in June/July (1 year after the previous) and the proponents having their arguments lined up. Erp (talk) 04:59, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

I find this tendency worrying and a little more than ridiculous translation = disrespect. Where is the limit? Why don't you marry Italy in Italia? Germany in Deutschland? Russia in Rossiya or even better in Россия? Or does it only apply to countries that have the privilege of not being "Western"? Sira Aspera (talk) 10:10, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

“The” Ivory Coast?
Pardon me and my western sensibilities, but I felt the need to bring this up. Should “The” be inserted in front of the name “Ivory Coast”, ala “The Bronx” or “The Philippines”? Maybe not in the article title itself, but when it’s used throughout the article. Upon googling it, it seems like it’s more common for English-speaking folk to use “The” when referring to the country, and since we seem to be sticking with the English name, I figured that might make sense. But please correct me if I’m wrong. The Shadow-Fighter (talk) 15:24, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
