Talk:Fuvahmulah

message: I propose that we decide on a consistent spelling for the name of this island because there seems to be a lot of variations. The official website of the island is spelled 'Fuvahmulah', the article title is 'Fuvammulah' and inside the article it was spelled in various manners (which I corrected). --Fizan
:Fuvammulah is used in atolls ministry website . I think we should follow the naming convention used in their site and assume it to be "official"? As for the variations, several redirection pages can be created and then redirected to the article. Incase if anyone needs help with redirection, check Wikipedia:Redirect --Oblivious 13:10, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I am from Nyaviyani Atoll.
I think thats not Nyaviyani Atoll. Its Ghaviyani Atoll.
The short form is Gn. Gn.Fuvahmulah (like B.Eydhafushi).
thanks
:I think you meant Gnaviyani. Yeah this is how they used int Atolls website. But its real phonetic equivelant should be Ñaviyani Atoll. Since Atolls website uses  Gnaviyani and is considered official, I will be moving the page to this title and bring necessary changes. --Oblivious 21:39, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nyaviyani Atoll? 

message: There is no need for a consistent spelling. The main reason is that when writing in the Latin script, Fua Mulaku is much nicer, more traditional. H.C.P. Bell used it, The Navigational Admiralty Charts used it, and so it is more well known internationally. Besides the name Fuvammulah looks very very ugly. Names that are beautiful like Manila, Dubai, Java, Rome, Tokyo, Sydney, don't have double letters. 
Also in Male' they don't spell it Maale, as it should be. They write Male'. They don't want to have the double-lettered 'Maale'.
Have you noticed that? 
So why should we be asked for consistency in Fua Mulaku if the Capital of the Maldives is not preaching with the example?
Is anyone writing Maale? 
So when and if they begin to do so, we will write the ugly Fuvammulah name.Mohonu 08:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ugly Fvammulah? heh? Mohonu my man, what have you got against this island (if you have anything against it, that is)? --Oblivious 10:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It has been suggested that the article, Dhadimago be merged into Fuvahmulah. But, I don't think there is any use of doing it. In case of Addu Atoll there are separate articles for Hithadhoo, Maradhoo, Feydhoo and on. More significantly, there are long articles for the cities in California state such as Los angeles and on. 
I suggest that it would be much better for Wikipedia to have rich articles on every district in Fuvahmulah. Besides the fact that Fuvahmulah is naturally an atoll, from olden days the rulers of Maldives consider the districts of Fuvahmulah as seperate islands and there were Katheebs (Island Chiefs) appointed for each district as in case of the small islands in Maldives. If no chance for the districts in Fuvahmulah which has been considered as separate islands historically, then there should be no chance for smaller islands in Maldives such as Holhudhoo, Thinadhoo, Fares Maathodaa, etc.. which are smaller than most of the districts of Fuvahmulah. Long articles can be written for each district in Fuvahmulah. Almost, each have a long history. Each district have its own ways. If all are to be written in the article Fuvahmulah, there will be no limit.

message: With respect to the points presented above, I would like to request an administrator to move the page to the name "Fuvahmulah" under which there is a redirect page. I am unable to move due to the presence of some edit history over there. I would like to bring to your attention that the current name "Fuvammulah" does not follow Wikipedia's naming conventions. It is not the common name of the subject. The common name is "Fuvahmulah". "Fuvahmulah" is the most famous and the most preferred way as well as the correct way taking into account the etymology of the name. For further details please look at the points I have presented on the Spelling section above. Nxxxn (talk) 09:43, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I would like to propose merging the Dhashukubaa stub into the main Fuvahmulah article. As it stands, there is insufficient material to justify a separate article for Dhashukubaa. SpookiePuppy (talk) 12:39, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
