i agree that this is a consistency problem. above, i tried to do a google search that shows that dokdo (or variant spellings) are more common than takeshima, in english pages. i bet the numbers have changed, especially given the growing influence of wikipedia, but the point i was making was that "dokdo" is both more common & the actual-control name. "liancourt" seems to be a case of wikipedia promoting an obscure name, something that should be avoided if possible.
