Rawandiz → Rowanduz – per WP:COMMONNAME

GeoNames Search is not almighty. Because Rāwandūz, Rawāndiz are not common name in English sources. But it's helpful.

According to GeoNames Search:

Rāwandūz (Approved), راوندوز (Native Script), Rawāndiz (Variant), Rawandoz (Variant), Rawndoz (Variant), Revandis (Variant), Rewandus (Variant), Roandiz (Variant), Roanduz (Variant), Rowandūz (Variant), Ruwāndiz (Variant), Ruwāndūz (Variant), Ruwan Duz (Variant)

According to google books:


 * Iraq "Rawandiz" -Llc 67
 * Iraq "Rawanduz" -Llc 278
 * Iraq "Rawandoz" -Llc 21
 * Iraq Rawndoz -Llc 0
 * Iraq Revandis -Llc 2 ?
 * Iraq Rewandus -Llc 2 ?
 * Iraq Roandis -Llc 0
 * Iraq Roanduz -Llc 2
 * Iraq "Rowanduz" -Llc 379
 * Iraq "Ruwandiz" -Llc 162
 * Iraq "Ruwan Duz" -Llc 4

It's very clear "Rawandiz" is not common name. We can chose among "Rawanduz", "Rowanduz" and "Ruwandiz".

Recognizable and correct name: Rawandiz
Sorry for seeing this talk page late, but I disagree with the proposed name Rowanduz in the previous section which is merely based on an incorrect transliteration. The Kurdish Latin transliteration is Rrewandiz (from ڕەواندز, I just fixed it in the article yesterday), and Rawandiz in English is a correct, simple, and recognizable approximation of it. Rowanduz on the other hand is not a recognizable name even if it is found in a small number of existing reliable sources (because it seems different from the real name). The article already uses Rawandiz anyway, and only lists Rowanduz as an alternative name in the lede and infobox. So it is fine. Cheers. Khestwol (talk) 22:02, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Iraqi Kurdistan is PART of Iraq
Semsuri, may be you don't like it, but Iraqi Kurdistan is PART of Iraq, de facto and de jure. So, removing Iraq and putting Iraqi Kurdistan is misleading and wrong. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 17:47, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You could have simply added which country this autonomous region was located in, but you didn't. You chose to remove the Kurdish flag instead. --Semsûrî (talk) 18:37, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Veracity of quote
I verified the quote. However, it would better to cite more than one source for Assyrians participating in this massacre. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  04:43, 26 November 2020 (UTC) Ashuraya145 and an ip (probably him) keep removing sourced content with misleading/irrelevant excuses. The source talks about a massacre occured in Rawandiz and the perpetrators of the massacre. The "context" could have been added instead of removing a verified sourced content. The first excuse to remove the content was "The source does not verify the content", and after I added a direct quote from the source verifying the deleted content, now the next excuse is "information is lacking context" (and the "context", as far as I see from their edit summaries is that Russian provocation and then betrayal of Assyrians, which has nothing to do with the perpetrators of the massacre). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.106.247.214 (talk) 06:10, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Please, IPs, post here any other sources that either reinforce or contradict this source's account of Assyrian participation, rather than edit-warring. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  05:54, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
