Semi-protected edit request on 23 July 2023 - suggest changing Uluru to Uluṟu

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Suggest replacing “Uluru” with “Uluṟu” throughout. This is inline with conventions for writing Aṉangu in the English/Roman alphabet (per Anangu Culture page on the National Parks’ website. ^[1]) 49.183.117.39 (talk) 07:43, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How do I type "Uluṟu"? Serious question. Wikipedia is the encyclopaedia anyone can edit, and most can't or won't type "Uluṟu" the way you request. HiLo48 (talk) 07:48, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not a good idea. Underlining characters is not part of standard English, which does not have diacritic marks. Let's keep this page in written in English, and can make a reference that there are alternate spellings. Quark1005 (talk) 23:30, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The citation for "Uluru from All Angles: The Modern Controversy of Climbing the Sacred" by Lucy Gamble is dead but has an archived copy available; I chose the last Internet Archive snapshot I could find. (Wordpress says "This site has been archived or suspended.", and it must be suspended, as site:sites.coloradocollege.edu Uluru turns up nothing.)

Consider changing:

I suggest changing the word "outcrop" in the second sentence of this article to either "crops out" or replacing it with "is". This would look like "It crops out near the centre of Australia..." or "It is near the centre of Australia...". Outcrop is generally a noun, and here it is a verb. Although technically correct, most geologists would not use the word "outcrop" this way. Wikitofly (talk) 15:10, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks! I've changed it to "It [[outcrop|crops out]] near the centre of Australia" → It crops out near the centre of Australia. Skynxnex (talk) 23:02, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
