Change of name
[edit]I have changed the name to Tamor River as per the sources found here and here. The OTRS request regarding this is been received by Volunteer response team as ticket:2018081710001491 --✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 06:30, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- I'll move it back. Three out of four of the article's own references, namely published books about hydrology and related topics, use "Tamur". The sources using "Tamor" are of much lower quality and seem to largely be tourism websites that probably don't meet WP:RS. The Kathmandu Post given above is a better source, but it's ambiguous and uses both names. Google Web and Google Books searches for "Tamur" vs. "Tamor" (both with "Sun Koshi" added to make sure there aren't too many false positives) show "Tamur" outnumbering the alternative about 2:1.

- The American National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency gives the name as "Tamor Nadi" with "Tamur River" as an alternative. Compare and . I have consistently used the more common "Tamur" in the article and have given "Tamor Nadi" as an alternative in the first sentence. Huon (talk) 15:06, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
