how is CORONAVIRUS affecting this country? so they know what CORONAVIRUS is — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.191.14 (talk) 21:04, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting war

How can I report this to admins to lock the page? Someone corrects the simple mistake regarding the official name of the country, but someone reverts this back to make a name of some fantasy state ("WP:NOR"). As of now, the official name of the state is just "Turkmenistan". And I didn't manage to find anything about the name change. It seems that the name "Republic of Turkmenistan" simply never existed.

A discussion needs to be opened here. If consensus has been reached, the name can be changed. Edit-warring is not a valid avenue of consensus building, therefore I have protected the page.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:07, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What discussion? What consensus? Are you feeling alright? It's not a name change, it's a simple mistake-correction. "Republic of Turkmenistan" has never existed, there is NOTHING to discuss here. Some moron made a mistake while writing an article and now you are here to open discussion about this mistake? Unbelievable. Faust-RSI (talk) 16:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Faust-RSI: Easy, i would suggest you to calm down. If, as you said, the name "Republic of Turkmenistan" simply never existed, then how do you explain this, this or this ?---Wikaviani ^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:50, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neither is an official source. The ONLY source for the names of almost ANY country is its constitution. Turkmenistan constitution is available in English, this is the only reliable source. Period. It doesn't call the country "Republic of Turkmenistan", neither any official Turkmenistan institution does. And the main institution in almost any country translating the OFFICIAl info on the country abroad is the MFA. Here: https://www.mfa.gov.tm/en Faust-RSI (talk)
