Talk:East Timorese rebellion of 1911–1912

Why?
Can you explain, why the move to Rebellion of Manufahi was a "controversial move"??? --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 08:05, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * (a) You called it the "correct name", but it is really just one description among many used in sources.
 * (b) The article itself mentions two earlier revolts by Manufahi.
 * (c) Manufahi may have been the centre and leader of the revolt, but it was not the only reino in revolt.
 * I am open to revisiting the name of this article, however. Srnec (talk) 12:00, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Gunn is using the name "Rebellion of Manufahi". Another possibility is "War of Manufahi", but "Guerra de Manufahi" or "(Grande) Revolta de Manufahi" are the usual names, mentioned during the jubilee 1912. Calling it "Timor war", like it was named in some Portuguese sources, would make it imprecise and (Portuguese) POV. "East Timorese rebellion" is not a used anywhere and is wrong for this time, because the name "East Timor" was not used to characterize Portuguese Timor in this time. It is of course possible to add the date to make clear, which revolte it was, but I think the naming after the leading reino is correct. Anyhow, maybe ou are thinking about expanding the article, including the rebellions from 1860 to 1912. The rebellions are in direct connection to each other. This are just some proposals. You can decide, what to do. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 17:15, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
