Talk:Twa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Why?

Why does TWA not default to the airline? That's quite silly.

So an airline should get top priority over an entire ethnic group? Please see Wikipedia:Countering systemic bias. — Brian (talk) 22:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

It's does not mean the airline is somehow more important, it means that the vast majority of people throughout the world would identify Trans World Airlines over the Twa. Although admittedly I do not have factual evidence to support this I think it is reasonable to agree that the airline has thus far been more historically significant

Wow. I'm stunned someone would even suggest this. Feel free to propose the move at Requested moves, though. — Brian (talk) 08:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

i agree with the original poster, its just ridiculous to have thousands of people who are searching for a very famous, international corporation end up looking at the page for an obscure ethnic group of little consequence. I strongly support moving twa searches back to Trans World Airlines asap.Paco8191 (talk) 03:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC), Wikiproject Companies

I have to agree that far more people are likely to have heard of TWA than the Batwa. But nonetheless in an encyclopedia I think a people who have been around for millennia should have precedence over a corporation that only spans a few decades. kwami 22:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More

Is there anyway this article could include more about the people and their history? I came to this article through an article about the god Bes and there's not really anything here regarding the past history of these people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.242.14.141 (talk) 22:22, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] move?

It's been suggested again that the article be moved, this time to Batwa, to avoid confusion with TWA. However, the normal name in English is Twa. By analogy with other ethnic articles, Twa people might be a better choice. Regardless, there isn't any conflict: If you type "TWA" into the search window, you're automatically redirected to Trans World Airlines. So why bother moving this article? kwami (talk) 10:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. If people want the airline, they should learn how to use the Shift key on their keyboard. — Dulcem (talk) 12:40, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I did not know that the wikipedia search recognized capitols. TWA does make more sense than Twa, and i withdraw my previous arguments.Paco8191 (talk) 05:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
