Mainstream audiences know Godzilla as such, and might not know what "goji" is referring to. Granted, most of the people that are looking at something on this site probably know a lot about Godzilla, but I think it makes more sense to stick with something clear that everyone can understand. Also with a name change, people who don't come here regularly (I guess I'd include myself in that category), might be confused when they come back and see the site's name changed. They may be unsure if it's even the same site and try to go find "wikizilla."

That being said, I wasn't aware there was another site called Wikizilla. This one is surely far more popular, isn't it? I also wasn't aware of any negative views towards this site. Like most people I would assume, I'm not involved enough to know.

I'm not going to complain if it's changed or anything, but I thought I'd state my opinion. There's always the risk of confusion, sure. But to be fair, people may also just look up "Godzilla Wiki". Anyhow, the highlighting of said post, alongside the timespan we're giving for the votes to be cast is exactly the thing we do to avoid confusion. Let people know that there is a vote towards a rename, and what it will be.

And yeah, there's another site named Wikizilla. The events which forged that are... Complicated. But yeah. Pretty sure this one is more popular view-wise, though. Analytics are very strong. Slightly irrelevant, though.

Whatever the case, thanks for your post. Glad you took time to put your thoughts on the table.
