Discussions on this page often lead to previous arguments being restated, especially about the article's title. Please read recent comments, look in the archives, and review the FAQ before commenting on that topic.
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Twitter article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Why don't you rename this article to "X (social network)"?
As of September 2024[update], there is no consensus to rename Twitter-related articles to "X". Since Wikipedia editors cannot agree on which title to use, the status quo is retained by default.
Please see the extensive list of discussions on this matter, in particular, this one, this one, and this one. Please do not attempt to make a new move request unless there have been substantial new developments or if you have a highly convincing argument that was not previously considered.For recognizability and ease of searching, Wikipedia articles use the name most commonly used in reliable sources, which is not necessarily the official name used by its owner or its current name. For example, we use Kanye West instead of Ye (musician), Statue of Liberty instead of Liberty Enlightening the World, and United Kingdom instead of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. As noted, since there is currently no consensus on the common name of the platform, the article remains titled "Twitter" by default. Twitter and its related terms (such as tweet, a dictionary word) remain widely recognizable to the general public due to its history and cultural impact. Renaming this page "X" would also require some form of parenthetical disambiguation, whereas Wikipedia prefers the use of natural disambiguation if possible. Finally, there is "no consensus that Twitter and X are such radically and fundamentally different products that they should be covered entirely separately".
Twitter was one of the Engineering and technology good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
