Qwyrxian, you were quite objective in your point1, but may not be so in your point2 except US and UK nautical charts that you mentioned and Oda Mari provided the links in the ""NPOV side"" above. As saying ""international almanacs ... all without exception use Senkaku Islands"", this is wrong. The documentary year book with which I found that ""Diaoyu Islands"" but no ""Senkaku Islands"" was used by SG of the UN in his official letter is an international almanac, named ""International Organizations and the Law of the Sea: Documentary Yearbook 1996"" of ""NILOS Documentary Yearbook"". It is for collection of related documents from the United Nations system. Therefore, this is a very high, if not the highest, quality of year book or almanac. Another UN document a UN General Assembly document can be found in page 85 of this year book, which mentioned ""D"" and ""S"" as follows:""Since the 1970s, China and Japan have continued to dispute sovereignty over a group of five islets and barren rocks, known in Japan as Senkaku and in China as Diaoyu, ..."". And for encyclopedias, I checked Britannica, neither ""Senkaku Islands"" nor ""Diaoyu Islands"" can be found . When you asserted ""all"" Encyclopedias, ""all"" almanacs, can you list all of them you checked? Please don't do cherry-picking. Don't assert too much more than what you actually did. Bobthefish2 ever gave a search result on Library of Congress, I re-checked it and am sure it is correct:

(note: Bobthefish2 has been topic banned for a year due to ""Decorum"" issue, but it does not mean that the objective contents he used before cannot be used by us)
So, your point1 can be used by us to reach certain consensus. Your point2 is biased and it asserted too much more than reality and objectivity.
