[edit] 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)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

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)

The result of the proposal was Move. Tbo 157(talk) (review) 15:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Support to distinguish between the various Japan Railways companies within the group. Tbo 157(talk) (review) 20:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. This seems a logical move to me. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:42, 13 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
