Talk:Egyptian piastre

message: per below consensus. Neıl ☎ 15:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

message: :Egyptian irsh → :Egyptian piastre — per WP:UE (use English for article titles), WP:UCN (use the most common name for article titles), and WP:OR (no original research).    The current title appears to be a creation of Wikipedia and is not even based on standard Arabic but uses a dialect transliteration taken from a language tutorial website (see citation in article's first line). See Central Bank of Egypt website for examples of English usage.
See the above two sections and Talk:Brunei ringgit#Requested Move for related discussion. A proposal to modify Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style that currently call for using non-English names for currencies is also under discussion at its talkpage. —  AjaxSmack  22:48, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
*Oppose After some discussion, this has been moved to Egyptian qirsh, since this is the standard transliteration. I oppose a further move to piastre. This word does not once appear on the currency in this period.Dove1950 (talk) 23:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I will support the resulted, possibly new, guideline from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numismatics/Style#Guidelines change proposal. Fix a class of a problem, not an instance of a problem. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 21:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to clarify, this article discusses the qirsh before the gineih was introduced. At no time during this period did the word piastre appear on any Egyptian coin.Dove1950 (talk) 21:52, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

message: A concensus has yet to be reached for the nomenclature of articles such as this. Hence, the move was precipitous. Unfortunately, the move back to qirsh was blocked by inappropriate editing, necessitating this "hard" move. As the article is very new, little history has been lost.Dove1950 (talk) 19:43, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
