Talk:Anus language

A-nus or Anus?

How do we pronounce it?:D-- 陈鼎翔 贡献 Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 09:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Although I know nothing about this specific language, odds are it's "ah-noose". --Ptcamn 14:17, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Is "ah-noose" supposed to mean IPA: [ˈa.nus]? IPA works best with me. I am also not sure if it is IPA: [ˈa.nus] or the rather humourous pronunciation IPA: [eɪ.nʌs]. 68.224.239.145 19:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

If you've seen Borat (2006), either way is humorous. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 21:26, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Reference removed

The following was removed from the article, perhaps because it was not directly cited in the text. I'm moving it here in case it's useful: {{cite web|title=Anus language|work=Global Recordings Network|url=http://globalrecordings.net/language/861|accessdate=January 3, 2011}} -Phoenixrod (talk) 05:03, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Requested move 29 September 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. We have clear consensus that this name, though unusual, is the common name. There is no support here for the current title, so it will return to the former one. Cúchullain ^t/c 15:43, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Korur language → Anus language – This was moved from original title Anus language, but Google Books indicates Korur has little to no currency among authors and scholars [1] The refs used in this article use Anus. This, along with Anal language (also moved) was once noted for having one of the most unusual titles of any serious article on Wikipedia; I can understand why some may have wanted to move it, as it may have seemed odd and unprofessional, and it may have attracted silly attention, but Wikipedia is not censored, and this is not a joke.

• Support, the nom seems to have proved his case and we are not Beavis and Butthead. Randy Kryn 20:57, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
• @Ribbet32: @Randy Kryn: why not Anus (language)? That would seem to solve all both problems. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:09, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
  • But unlike Anal language, Anus language can't be ambiguous with anything else, can it? Uanfala (talk) 08:32, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
    • The parenthesis seems fine, but is it consistent with other pages? On a quick search the language pages don't have parenthesis. Randy Kryn 14:18, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Consistency is a guideline not a law. In this case there's a benefit. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:05, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Probably a good choice then. Randy Kryn 20:11, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

• Support Anus language; oppose "Anus (language)". The day that English (language), Spanish (language), Portuguese (language) or et al. became article title (and not redirects), I'll suport it. Otherwise consistency is required. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 04:51, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

On what grounds? Where is the policy that says that we can't use common sense here? In ictu oculi (talk) 18:51, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Nothing may be exactly "required" outside of copyright fidelity and BLP, but WP:CONSISTENCY is a principle on Wikipedia:Article titles, a policy page. Ribbet32 (talk) 19:57, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

^That, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages#Article names. These are the grounds, and I see no single "common sense" in your proposal, but the opposite. Reach a consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Languages to change "Name language" to "Name (language)" otherwise it is unjustified. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 22:47, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose move instead to Anus (language) to avoid misreadings as documented popular use of "Anus language" in Google Book search, and to reduce work in patrolling a vandalism magnet. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:34, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
• Support move to "Anus language" per consistency of other language namespaces and the more correct and widely used name of the language. Do we not move things based on the belief they may be vandalised now? If it's vandalised it can be protected; it's not a huge deal. I don't see how putting parentheses around "language" would make it less vandalised. Ss112 11:47, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
• Support move to Anus language. Yes, the title's unusual, but we have plenty of other unusual articles out there.  ONR  (talk)  05:22, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
