Talk:Army Radio

I feel a bit insecure about my phrasing in some paragraphs - English is not my native tongue. Please feel free to rephrase when necessary, and to add information if you are familiar with the subject. Drork 17:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Title

Astropulse, האופה, Bmnr988, Wikipedialuva, Nirva20, Derek R Bullamore It would be preferable for the article's title to be changed from Army Radio to Israel Army Radio with the redirects from Israel Defense Forces Radio, IDF Radio, Galei Zahal, Galey Zahal, Galei Tzahal, Galey Tzahal, Galei Tsahal and Galatz changed accordingly, perhaps adding a redirect from Galey Tsahal.

Originally I thought the change should be to Galatz (compare Galgalatz which is wiklinked in the article), or one of the transliterations, frequently used in print and online including WP but an English title is probably better. Mcljlm (talk) 23:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

yes army radio is very generic - should be the popular name or something that adds some context like Israeli Army Radio Astropulse (talk) 23:20, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Wondering about the name Astropulse I came across https://uri.mitkadem.co.il/IARadio.html which is headed Israeli Army Radio but "Galatz", IDF Radio or GLZ is immediately below. The text's first line has Israel Army Radio ("Galatz" or just "IDF Radio") but later Israeli Army Radio and the station's Hebrew names appear. Mcljlm (talk) 04:25, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Israeli army radio is better imo. since already exist and is being redirected to this page Astropulse (talk) 04:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Israeli Army Radio isn't one of it's names whereas Israel Army Radio, which is and like Israeli Army Radio already exists as a redirect, is Astropulse. Mcljlm (talk) 10:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 14 July 2024

Army Radio → Israeli Army Radio – to be more descriptive. Israeli Army Radio already redirect to Army Radio Astropulse (talk) 04:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

• Support: It is a reasonable request as the current name may be confused with other countries radio systems. This will make it more clear and easier to understand. Bunnypranav (talk) 08:33, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

As I have indicated above Bunnypranav Israel Army Radio, which already exists as a redirect, would be better as it's one of the station's names. Mcljlm (talk) 10:53, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry I did not get you, are you supporting or opposing my opinion? If supporting, then I completely agree with the reasons stated above. Bunnypranav (talk) 13:19, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose The name "Army Radio" is much more common in domestic sourcing in Israel, such as The Jerusalem Post. I see it as both in reliable sources, and I do not see an "Army Radio" in any other country. Inconsistency in English-language name renderings of Israeli radio stations seems to be somewhat regular, as a note. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:15, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

  probably informally. because there is only one army in Israel ? Astropulse (talk) 00:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

  Both forms are seen in major US publications, though I think "Army Radio" is more common. Given that we have no other titles on pages that are Army Radio, I feel like this would be the primary topic. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:28, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
