Line 591:
::: I waited for collecting evidences which Dab wanted like maps references etc. Based on the evidences available now, It is quite clear that this place was called before by names related to Rama's bridge or some related Tamil/Sanskrit names before 18th century.(Names change over the period of time so we cannot expect same name to be called for centuries together) People's faith for multiple centuries as Ramar bridge is well established now. Officially it is called as Adams bridge from 18/19th century. This page meets all wikipedia guidelines to be named as Ramar bridge or something similar. Traditions set by wikipedians prove that common names has to be given more precedence over official name. (Many examples quoted by me earlier). I am not asking name change based on Indian Supreme court judgement. I am asking for name to be changed as per wikipedia guidelines and traditions. Infact Google/google book/google scholar search will be more if we add all variants of Ramsetu. Whereas Adam's bridge search returns only 50-60% pages related to this structure and balance due to different structures all over the world since Adam is very common name. --[[User:Indianstar|Indianstar]] 04:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Great..so should we now re-name the article? I agree 100%. I have been arguing that official name is NOT the ultimate name when there is a common name. In fact no one is 100% sure what the official name is. [[User:RainDew|RainDew]] 02:12, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
