As the official gazetted name of the site is Uluru / Ayers Rock, I believe the title of this article should be changed to reflect this and to bring it up to article standards.
I appreciate that this is a sort of compromise:"Uluru (/ˌuːləˈruː/; Pitjantjatjara: Uluṟu [ˈʊlʊɻʊ]), also known as Ayers Rock (/ˈɛərz/ AIRS) and officially gazetted as Uluru / Ayers Rock," but if it is officially named Uluru / Ayers Rock, then it should be referred to in the name of the article as Uluru / Ayers Rock and the initial sentence can actually remain exactly as it is and as I just quoted it. Mutual charity does not require either that it keep repeating the dualism throughout, it can subsequently use only Uluru, but it also doesn't require either the trite sarcasm of the above suggestion OR using only one of its official names in the article title. If 'the invaders' were to someday leave and take all their stuff, their nomenclature can go too. Random noter (talk) 01:29, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On reflection, Mako001's comment makes a lot of sense and I defer if it is usually known only as Uluru "these days", though it does open up some wider Wikipedia issues. I'm not convinced that Wikipedia is always a trailing indicator when these kinds of nomenclature changes come up, which it should be. And the examples that editor uses can be open to question if the legal name of a thing and the common name don't always refer to the exact same concept. Arguably, "France" and "French Republic" would not. Perhaps only a curiosity. Random noter (talk) 01:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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]
