Czechia

The relevant guideline is WP:UE. General English usage is "Czech Republic", so we should use it. --Khajidha (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Khajidha: The WP:BRD process on Wikipedia means that when your 'bold' edit is reverted; the issue moves to the talk page to be discussed. Re-reverting one or more times is not part of that process. So please revert your edit and then we can get down to the business of whether "Czechia" is acceptable on English Wikipedia. Thanks. Bermicourt (talk) 14:15, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Nothing to discuss. We write in English. English uses Czech Republic to the near total exclusion of Czechia. --Khajidha (talk) 14:26, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Please revert your edit in accordance with WP:BRD. If you feel unable to do that, this will go to some form of arbitration. As editors, we don't engage in edit wars because we think we're right. We follow guidelines where they exist and resolve disagreement through sifting evidence, seeking to understand different viewpoints and enlisting consensus.

The evidence is that virtually all results for "Czechia" are "hey, guys, it'd be neat if you'd call us this". They are discussing the word, not using it. Most of the rest is from the Czech Republic itself, and it thus not a valid determiner of English usage. --Khajidha (talk) 15:04, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sounds like WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT especially as countries have adopted it as the official short title. Bermicourt (talk) 18:36, 12 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
