Talk:Name of the Czech Republic

message: We've already discussed this many times before... but please... stop synthesizing WP:primary sources (which are not good sources to use) without reliable journalistic secondary sources.(WP:RELIABLE) That is WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH and is not acceptable. Also, we should keep the section Adoption of Czechia centered around reliably sourced information pertaining to governmental usage, not corporations. That's the bulk of the section, anyway. And anymore focus on the singular entities that "use the name" is blatantly against WP:UNDUE. We don't need a list of that. See also WP:WHATWIKIPEDIAISNOT. - R9tgokunks ⭕ 06:45, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Google maps were relevant for good secondary sources describing the progress (you deleted), so your evaluations like "only goverment is important" are just your POV. One sentence about huge corporations is completely OK when sourced well. Chrzwzcz (talk) 16:28, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

text: Also: Google maps survived your previous improvements so why is it bad now, all of a sudden? Chrzwzcz (talk) 21:59, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

text: I've already discussed it before, as have other users. It's WP:undue. this section is on governmental usage. gauging company usage verges on WP:WHAT WIKIPEDIA IS NOT. This is why WP:UNDUE exists. It doesn't fit in the section. - R9tgokunks ⭕ 01:03, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your opinion against others. Well souced, interesting enough for secondary sources so... stop pushing your opinion as decisive. Chrzwzcz (talk) 10:04, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad revisions recently. 

message: I have nothing against saying that Google, Apple, and Microsoft have adopted Czechia for their respective map applications, as I think this is significant in terms of the adoption of the name. However, the second to last paragraph of the English-language section mentions Google and Apple by name only and then goes on to solely talk about Microsoft products.
I have copied the paragraph as it is currently written below.
"Multinational technology companies that adopted the name Czechia include Google,[48] Apple,[49] and Microsoft with Bing Maps.[50] The business network LinkedIn updated its locations to Czechia in October 2020.[51] Microsoft updated its Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to Czechia in January 2021.[52]" 84.65.9.65 (talk) 19:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Product placement/bias? 

message: The sentence ‘However, most English speakers use [the] Czech Republic in all contexts.’ is sourced from the article Scandal in Czechia. I don't find it so quality and up to date to figure as a source here. The article comes from 2016 but describes the situation until the year 2008 (so the data are more than 10 years old). The described situation could have changed. The article has also another big problem. The author did not describe the idea of a short name quite well. (Short name does not mean that it is a one-word name.) I'm not going to evaluate the letter-counting part. Because of described reasons, I don't think it is a good idea to link it as a reliable source here. The sentence that is sourced from this article should be rewritten or deleted. --Martin Tauchman (talk) 15:12, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's certainly still accurate based on usage patterns, and it is a reliable source. If you find an article that claims most English speakers use Czechia, you're welcome to cite it. Doremo (talk) 15:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Would not be better to use the Google N-Gram as a reference? Since the concept of short country names is described wrongly.  Martin Tauchman (talk) 20:46, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quality of the article from ‘The Atlantic’ 

message: Not sure if this pointed to a different URL at one point but I have no idea if there's a quick / easy way to find out.
