Wikipedia:Requested moves

For requested mergers, see Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. For removals, see Wikipedia:Guide to deletion.

Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.

Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.

Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

• Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. See: § Requesting technical moves.
• Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
• A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
• A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
• Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

• Making an uncontroversial move – if you can, be bold and do it yourself! If you can't, see § Requesting technical moves.
• Renaming a category – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
• Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
• Renaming an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving a file page.
• Moves from draft namespace or user space to article space – Unconfirmed users: add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself.
• Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
• Splitting an article – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed article splits, or be bold and do it yourself.
• Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
• Contesting a move request close – use the Wikipedia:Move review process.

Undiscussed moves

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

• No article exists at the new target title;
• There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
• It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Uncontroversial proposals

Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

If you object to a proposal listed here, please re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

Incomplete and contested proposals

With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

• Chris Byrne → Chris Byrne (musician) —(Discuss)— Another Chris Byrne, one associated with the Toy Industry, would like to make a wikipedia page. Disambiguation of the "Chris Byrne" page, and creation of "Chris Byrne (musician)" and "Chris Byrne (The Toy Guy)" requested. --Anbmedia (talk) 13:48, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Lets get page Chris Byrne (The Toy Guy) written first. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Orthogonality → Orthogonal — The intro sentence uses the adjective form rather than the nounal form. This form is also simpler, easier to use, and much more common in general usage. — Beefyt (talk) 06:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Inappropriate move, per WP:ADJECTIVE. 81.98.251.134 (talk) 10:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Army Air Corps → Army Air Corps (disambiguation); Army Air Corps (United Kingdom) → Army Air Corps — {Discuss} (and see also Talk:Army Air Corps (United Kingdom)#Page rename)
  • Army Air Corps clearly has one organisation that should occupy the page, with disambiguation done using a hatnote to a (disambiguation) page, because there is currently only one exact match for article title, which is also the official name for the organisation. However, it is currently occupied by a disambiguation page without the (disambiguation) qualifier. All other entires on the page are only partial matches, or alternate names, for which the hatnoe style over the direct list style is more appropriate. MickMacNee (talk) 01:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose What about the USAAC? 70.51.9.224 (talk) 04:27, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
  • The USAAC is the United States Army Air Corps, but it disappeared in 1947. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:08, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose: The UK Army Air Corps is not the only organization to use the name "Army Air Corps". -Fnlayson (talk) 14:38, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
    • I don't know why people are voting here rather than the talk page, per the instructions, but anyway. The above claim is being asserted often, without any proof outside of a local context. There is only one page with that title, others are only partial matches. Recognising local usage contexts is not what generic topic db pages are for. Read WP:DISAMBIG. MickMacNee (talk) 15:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
      • Because you didn't centralize a place for discussion. I suppose I could register my response on all three talk pages. 70.51.11.219 (talk) 04:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Other proposals

6 August 2008

• Côte d'Azur International Airport → Côte d'Azur Airport —(Discuss)— The word "international" is not part of the airport's actual name --Jasepl (talk) 19:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Pakistani Briton → British Pakistanis —(Discuss)— 'British Pakistanis' is a commoner term than 'Pakistani Britons'. Googling (with Wikipedia filtered out) brings up 3,000 hits for "Pakistani Britons"[1], 8,000 for "Pakistani British"[2] while "British Pakistanis" gets 14,000.[3] --Cop 663 (talk) 16:48, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Henry I of Germany → Henry the Fowler —(Discuss)— RThe original title of this article was Henry the Fowler. It should be returned there; the relevant naming convention says If a monarch or prince is overwhelmingly known, in English, by a cognomen, it may be used, and there is then no need to disambiguate by adding Country. This is as overwhelmingly common, in English, as Henry the Lion, which is one of the examples. Let's move back. --Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
• Quaternion (division algebra) → Quaternion —(Discuss)— Proposal to revert the recent undiscussed move of "Quaternion" to Quaternion (division algebra). This is the primary topic for the title "Quaternion". --Sam (talk) 13:54, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Tor Missile System → 9K330 Tor —(Discuss)— Following maming style of other Russian missile systems, see 9K22 Tunguska or 9K37 Buk --Typhoon9410 (talk) 11:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• United Jazz and Rock Ensemble → United Jazz + Rock Ensemble —(Discuss)— The band's name was actually written with a "+" sign in the middle. --JazzmanDE (talk) 08:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• G'nort → Gnort —(Discuss)— To match original spelling of the character's name. --Rockfang (talk) 07:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Deligne-Mumford moduli space of curves → Moduli of stable curves —(Discuss)— per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) Stca74 (talk) 05:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Murder of Tim McLean → Greyhound passenger beheading incident —(Discuss)— Per WP:BLP1E, this article should be about the event, not the victim (or the attacker). If Tim McLean were a name emblematic of the event (like Kitty Genovese is of her murder), then Tim McLean (or Murder of Tim McLean) would be the appropriate name. However, what is memorable about this event is not the names involved, but that some person was beheaded on a Greyhound bus. --Father Goose (talk) 03:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Bolsa de Valores de Lima → Lima Stock Exchange —(Discuss)— per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) --Victor12 (talk) 02:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) → Lima Stock Exchange —(Discuss)— per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) --Victor12 (talk) 02:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Picidae → Woodpecker —(Discuss)— Woodpecker gets more hits, and the whole family can be referred to as woodpecker as well as just the subfamily. --Sabine's Sunbird talk 01:51, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

5 August 2008

• History of Moldova → History of the Republic of Moldova -— (Discuss) - The official name of the country is Republic of Moldova. The title History of Moldova is misleading, creating the impression that it deals with the entire history of Moldavia which is not the case.Afil (talk) 17:28, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

• Moldova → Republic of Moldova -— (Discuss) - The article itself indicates that the official name is Republic of Moldova. The title Moldova is misleading.Afil (talk) 17:28, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

• Template:WPGR → Template:WikiProject Greece —(Discuss)— As below, retaining "WPGR" shortcut --Sardanaphalus (talk) 11:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

• Template:WPBG → Template:WikiProject Bulgaria —(Discuss)— As below, retaining "WPBG" shortcut --Sardanaphalus (talk) 11:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:WikiProject ROMacedonia → Wikipedia:WikiProject Republic of Macedonia —(Discuss)— Less cryptic name for page itself, but retain shortcuts --Sardanaphalus (talk) 09:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

• Template:WPMKD → Template:WikiProject Republic of Macedonia —(Discuss)— Less cryptic name for actual template, but retain "WPMKD" redirect/shortcut --Sardanaphalus (talk) 08:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

• Multi-string classical guitar → Extended-range guitar —(Discuss)— Clearer, more accurate, makes sense to people who speak English. Any guitar with more than 1 string (nearly all guitars) is a multi-string guitar. This article is about guitars with more than 6 strings. Not only is this more accurate, it has precedent in music terminology; see Extended-range bass.--Conical Johnson (talk) 05:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

4 August 2008

• (Discuss) — Unnecessary disambiguation of Ottawa street names— Pwnage8 (talk) 23:22, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Originally posted at WP:RM and ruled controversial. — AjaxSmack 21:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Bronson Avenue (Ottawa) → Bronson Avenue
  • Heron Road (Ottawa) → Heron Road
  • Merivale Road (Ottawa) → Merivale Road
  • Richmond Road (Ontario) → Richmond Road
  • Bankfield Road (Ottawa) → Bankfield Road
  • Hawthorne Avenue (Ottawa) → Hawthorne Avenue
  • Preston Street (Ottawa) → Preston Street

• Queen Rania of Jordan → Rania, Queen of Jordan -(Discuss) I think we should make some difference between the present consorts and their predecessors (Queen Noor of Jordan for example). Queen Noor is styled HM Queen Noor of Belgium, while Rania is HM The Queen. As Rania is the queen and Noor is a queen, her article should be at "Rania, Queen of Jordan" (just like the article about Prince Charles is at "Charles, Prince of Wales", and the articles about his sons are at "Prince X of Wales". Surtsicna (talk) 21:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• The Hits Radio (UK) → The Hits Radio —(Discuss)— There is no need for a disambiguation where there is only one instance of The Hits Radio, therefore, I believe this article should be moved to that name. However, as the article was created at The Hits Radio (UK) for a reason, this move will need to be discussed, as there is a small chance of opposition to any move as per WP:RM. ----tgheretford (talk) 21:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• MMR vaccine controversy → MMR vaccine autism controversy —(Discuss)— more explicit title: autism not the only "controversy" surrounding MMR --Grover cleveland (talk) 19:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Vern Schneider → Vern Sneider -(Discuss)-The correct spelling of the surname is "Sneider" not "Schneider". Tfns (talk) 15:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Skate (video game) → skate. —{Discuss}— Every mention of the title both in the article itself, the game boxart, the official website, the game manual, everywhere has it as "skate."; the article was moved from the correct title ages ago, but now I feel it is time this is corrected. Jasca Ducato (talk) 14:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Sedan (car) → Sedan —(Discuss)— Procedural move request. This was boldly moved in April, boldly undone, and then it was boldly moved again in July. Today a bot started fixing dab page redirects, which is when I (and most likely others) noticed the move. As a result here's been considerable discussion on the talk page today on the merits of the move -- basically a battle between whether "sedan" is the primary usage or American-centricity. I think the best thing would be to have a full and formal discussion. There's a limit to boldness when tempers are rising. --DeLarge (talk) 14:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Sedan (disambiguation) → Sedan —(Discuss)— alternative to the above proposal. --Russ (talk) 14:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Conker → Conkers —(Discuss)— The article is about the game conkers, which always has an "s". A conker in the singular is the seed of the horse chestnut tree, and is covered by that article. --Richard New Forest (talk) 13:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• (Discuss) -- To unify and make more transparent the Maya civilization, Inca and Aztec articles. A disambiguation page(s) can be made subsequently as this this consensus shows. And for example - read the first sentence of Inca article :) --  LYKANTROP  ✉ 09:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Inca → Inca civilization
    • Allright. On Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mesoamerica has been decided how it will be made. Aztec will be done later some different way, but the move of Inca to Inca civilization is ready - the article is already written about the Inca civilization - read the first sentence of Inca.--  LYKANTROP  ✉ 14:47, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

3 August 2008

• Andrew Murray (disambiguation) → Andrew Murray —(Discuss)— Andrew Murray (disambiguation) should be moved back to Andrew Murray. There are 15 names on the dab page. The redirect to Andy Murray (tennis) is clearly not the primary usage, mainly, for the simple reason, he is known as Andy Murray not Andrew Murray. --Tassedethe (talk) 22:40, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Moldavia → Principality of Moldavia —(Discuss)— The curret cotents of the article corresponds to the contents of an article about the Principality of Moldavia, besides it is suprisingly absurd to title an article about a fomer statal political formation with precise name Principality of Moldavia, with a different one, which moreover pertains to the actual existing formation Republic of Moldova, the heir of Moldavian Democratic Republic, Moldavian ASSR, Moldavian SSR. Also, have a look at other language versions of Wikipedia of the same and other above cited respective articles. --Moldopodo^talk 20:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Archdiocese of Rome → Diocese of Rome —(Discuss)— This is the official name of the diocese, as noted on the article's talk page --Rwflammang (talk) 16:42, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Gibraltarian constitutional referendum, 2006 → Gibraltar constitutional referendum, 2006 —(Discuss)— Media sources and books overwhelmingly use "Gibraltar" rather than "Gibraltarian" to refer to Gibraltar referendums. Supporting data supplied at Talk:Gibraltarian constitutional referendum, 2006#Requested move --Jayen466 12:46, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Water fluoridation opposition → Opposition to water fluoridation —(Discuss)— Grammar. I know that that reason does not sound contentious, but the talk page is a bit on edge right now, so maximal formality is appropriate. --- Eldereft (cont.) 08:19, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Sunburst (design) → Sunburst —(Discuss)— More notable than the guitar finish style currently located at sunburst, or the subjects of any of the other articles linked to at sunburst (disambiguation). --Gordon Ecker (talk) 07:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Sunburst → Sunburst (finish) —(Discuss)— Less notable than sunburst (design). --Gordon Ecker (talk) 07:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film) → The Day the Earth Stood Still —(Discuss)— Because the 1951 film instead of remake is the more noteworthy film and the page contain a link to the remake anyway, The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film) should be moved to The Day the Earth Stood Still. --Darknus823 (talk) 04:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Battle for Velikiye Luki (1943) → Velikiye Luki Offensive Operation —(Discuss)— per various books by David Glantz (for example When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler (Modern War Studies) by David M. Glantz and Jonathan M. House). The current article title is misnamed after a 1991 commercial computer game by RAW Entertainment, Inc. White Death, Battle for Velikiye Luki, November 1942 adapted from the GDW board wargame of the same name, so does a great bit of advertising for the company --mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 03:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• AddictingGames.com → AddictingGames —(Discuss)— It's the current name --71.225.111.4 (talk) 00:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

2 August 2008

• Jamie Clarke (footballer) → Jamie Clarke —(Discuss)— The sole real Jamie Clarke should occupy the primary page. --HornetMike (talk) 22:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

• Nuclear power in North Korea → Nuclear program of North Korea —(Discuss)— This is to undo a recent, inappropriate name change. The article covers North Korea's nuclear program, of which its defunct nuclear power program is a relatively minor part. --18:58, 2 August 2008 (UTC)NPguy (talk)

• Novak Djokovic → Novak Đoković —(Discuss)— This is the correct spelling with diacritics. The original move proposal was allegedly withdrawn, but the discussion continued nevertheless. Discussion and survey are on the talk page. --Admiral Norton ^(talk) 17:23, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Incomplete: No place for discussion. I also doubt this is timely; there was consensus to move to this English spelling in April. WP:CONSENSUS deprecates polling and polling and polling until you get your way. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

• Florida State University College of Engineering → FAMU - FSU College of Engineering —(Discuss)— The college is a joint venture of Florida A&M University and Florida State University, and the article name should reflect that. --Donald Albury 14:17, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

1 August 2008

• Moran Mar Baselios Mar Thoma Didymos I → Baselios Thoma Didymos I —(Discuss)— Remove honorifics from article title.Student7 (talk) 13:12, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Anaconda → Eunectes —(Discuss). There is a consensus to move this article to its scientific name in line with the rest of the series. The current name is misleading: in the past many editors seemed to think this article is about one giant snake, while it's actually about a group (the genus Eunectes) of which not all are as large. --Jwinius (talk) 10:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Calabar Python → Charina reinhardtii —(Discuss). There is a consensus to move this article to its scientific name in line with the rest of the series. Currently classed as a boa (not a python), the common names for this species are many and either misleading or not as well known. --Jwinius (talk) 10:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Rubber Boa → Charina bottae —(Discuss). There is a consensus to move this article to its scientific name in line with the rest of the series. The current name is not even unambiguous. --Jwinius (talk) 10:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Rosy boa → Charina trivirgata —(Discuss). There is a consensus to move this article to its scientific name (see Charina) in line with the rest of the series. --Jwinius (talk) 10:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• John Waters (filmmaker) → John Waters — {Discuss} as he is the John Waters; previous page holding that name already moved to John Waters (disambiguation). — AMK1211^talk! 05:39, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Soviet invasion of Manchuria → Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation —(Discuss)— The article was renamed without requesting the move although consensus for the move was gained. However, the new common name of a subject is misleading because territory of Manchukuo, Chinese Republic, Inner Mongolia, the Japanese protectorate of Kuryo and ostensibly Japanese sovereign territory were also invaded at the same time, and does not represent a neutral point of view--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 01:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Backlog

Move dated sections here after five days have passed (August 23 or older).

• Tianshi Dao → Way of the Celestial Masters —(Discuss)— per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) --Oreo Priest ^talk 23:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• Immigrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border → Migrant deaths along the United States–Mexico border —(Discuss)— "Migrant" is not the same as "immigrant"; some of the deaths mentioned in the article may have been from migrants. --MantisEars (talk) 20:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• Korea under Japanese rule → Japanese occupation of Korea —(Discuss)— Follow naming conventions of scholars and similar WIkipedia articles. Outside input requested. --Exucmember (talk) 16:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• Frankie Fredericks → Frank Fredericks —(Discuss)— "Frank Fredericks" is used as official name form by the IAAF and by the IOC, where Fredericks is a current member. --GirasoleDE (talk) 11:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• List of artillery → List of artillery weapons —(Discuss)— The term "artillery" on its own is meaningless in a list. The list opening sentence reads "A list of the world's artillery, by type.", but the sentence is unfinished because all artillery "types" are different, the gunners call them all collectively "ordnance" as opposed to the carriage or mounting, which is the other part of all artillery systems. See Chapter 4. Ordnance, p.45, Ryan, J.W., Lee, R.G., Col.

• Scone → Scone (village) —(Discuss)— Scone (bread) is at least as notable as the village of 4000 inhabitants. --— AjaxSmack 02:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Scone (disambiguation) → Scone

• Multiple tai chi chuan-related page moves. (Discuss) — Name standardisation and clarification and formatting issues. Some are uncontroversial and some might not be. — AjaxSmack 02:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
  • 103 form Yang family T'ai Chi Ch'uan → 103-form Yang family tai chi chuan or something else or merge with Yang style tai chi chuan

  • 42 (Competition Form) Tai Chi Chuan → 42-form Tai Chi Chuan or something else
  • Chen (Old Frame, First Routine, Lao Jia Yi Lu) → something else
  • Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi Chuan → Guang Ping Yang tai chi chuan or something else
  • Single Whip → Single whip
  • Wu/Hao style tai chi chuan → Wu (Hao) style tai chi chuan or something else

• Chinese wén → Chinese cash (currency unit) or something else —(Discuss)— Per WP:UE (use English for article titles), WP:UCN (use the most common name for article titles), WP:OR (no original research), and Numismatics Style guidelines (use the term for the currency that is most commonly used by standard English language sources.). The use of the romanization of the Chinese in this case appears to be largely a creation of Wikipedia. The title should reflect the common English name for the currency unit but the English name, "cash", has other uses in this context (see Chinese cash). A similar previous request was closed due to admin confusion over terminology but underlying multiple guidelines violations were not addressed. Relisting with wider notice to try and get more input. — AjaxSmack 02:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• Bank Street (Ottawa) → Bank Street —(Discuss)— This was an uncontroversial proposal that was reverted by a user from New York City, after he googled "Bank Street" and only came up with "Bank Street College of Education", which lead him to believe it was the primary use. Google tailors their results to your locale, that's why it happened. This college is by no means the primary use, in fact, the primary use of "Bank Street" is Ottawa's Bank Street. Even if the other uses were anywhere near notable, the names are completely different, and could not be confused. A hatnote to the disambiguation page, Bank Street (disambiguation) would clear up any possible misunderstanding. --Pwnage8 (talk) 23:22, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

• (Discuss) -- Request to end what seems to me to be unnecessary disambiguation. The village is the only WP entry with the title "Lanner", all other articles that have Lanner in their name are more suited to a disambig page linked to on the village article. --Joowwww (talk) 16:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Lanner, Cornwall → Lanner
  • Lanner → Lanner (disambiguation)

• Nice -> Nice, France -(Discuss)- See talk page. Georgia guy (talk) 13:52, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

• New York City → New York —(Discuss)— I believe that most people refer to the city when they think of New York, so that's what the primary meaning of the phrase "New York" is. As with the below requested move, this is pretty contentious, though. --Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 04:29, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
  • New York → New York State —(Discuss)— There is currently debate about what the primary meaning of the phrase "New York" is. I believe that the primary usage is for the city (see that requested move above), but either way, it is clear to me and some others that the primary meaning is NOT the state. Closing admin: this is pretty contentious, so please be careful in determining consensus (I'm sure you always are, but still...) Thank you. --Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 04:29, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Comment - I suggest New York City stays as it is, while New York is moved to New York State, while New York becomes a DAB page for New York City and New York State. 89.243.180.26 (talk) 14:30, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree with this course of action, which is reasonable and logical. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 02:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• List of airports in the United States → List of primary airports in the United States —(Discuss)— This page is not set up to be a complete list.

• Khalisa → Kalsa —(Discuss)— Kalsa is one of the four districts of Old Town Palermo. There is no reason to use the old Arabic name which was in use in the 9th century. Kalsa is a living district of the city so the name (and later also the content) of the article should reflect present-day reality. --Zello (talk) 14:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
