Talk:Japan Railways Group

Article title

I wonder why this article is named "Japan Railway" instead of "Japan Railways" or "Japan Railways Group" as shown in the group's official website. Is there any reason? Otherwise I would like to propose the move. --Sushiya 07:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Japan Railway → Japan Railways Group — The group uses the form "Japan Railways Group" in its official website as a title of the site. Also, inclusion of the word "Group" in the article title would be helpful for readers to understand concept of JR Group. —Sushiya 13:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

• Support - As "Japan Railways Group" appears to be the name used officially. --DAJF 03:36, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
• Support - Official name, and it makes it clear that it is actually four companies in a group, not one --Dex1337 00:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
• Support per everyone else's comments (nothing to add). Neier
