[edit] Move

I have reverted the inappropriate move. Firstly there is no consensus, the wikipedia, the talk page of Talk:Burma says it itself. Secondly, even if there were consensus for one page, this does not imply a wiki wide consensus for every article particularly when WP:ENGVAR comes into play. Every article needs to establish a consensus of it's own for the name, other discussions can be used as a baseline, but there is rarely a wiki wide agreement on naming. Furthermer as Andrewnixon pointed out: "The official name of the team is Myanmar, they play all matches at all levels as Myanmar (though they did play in the past as Burma), are sanctioned by the Myanmar Cricket Federation and they are referred to Myanmar in all official records of the International Cricket Council and Asian Cricket Council". IMHO, this is almost as dumb as trying to change United Nations member states to say Burma instead of Myanmar or South East Asian Games the same. If anyone wants to move this page, please go through the procedures listed in Wikipedia:Requested moves before making a controversial move without consensus Nil Einne (talk)
