Dear Ghaly,
Christ Is Risen! Thanks very much for your contributions. OrthodoxWiki is governed by what is called the Mainstream Chalcedonian Bias (MCB - http://orthodoxwiki.org/OrthodoxWiki:Style_Manual_%28Point_of_View%29 ).
Also if you look at the draft agreements signed so far by both families, e.g., Chambesy, Geneva, 1990, you will find that the terminology is Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox. In fact, the Orthodox family (Eastern) had objected to the use of the adjective 'Eastern', which didn't appear in the signed version (upon their request, and with the full approval of the Oriental Orthodox delegates - Source: Dr Joseph Faltas - see excerpt at http://orthodoxwiki.org/Image:1990_OO-EO_Agreement_Excerpts.jpg ). After all, both adjectives (Eastern and Oriental) are geographical and quite confusing, esp. their Arabic translation. Besides, many (Eastern) Orthodox Churches are not geographically Eastern (e.g., OCA).
Yours in Christ,
