Revision as of 18:25, 17 December 2007

Purge the cache to refresh this page 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:

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:Template:WP:RM2|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 relist it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

Incomplete and contested proposals

  • Concur with Jaakobou. "Solomon" is too ambiguous, since this is a common surname and given name, except when used with a stock phrase like "Song of Solomon". However, Solomon of Israel would appear to be the proper article name per the conventions on naming royalty articles. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 22:07, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I support this suggestion. JaakobouChalk Talk 18:21, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I do not; Solomon of Israel is not English usage, it is arguable as biblical scholarship, and the Name of Kingdom format is recommended only for European rulers because they use the same namestock. (I would not argue its application to Moslem rulers on the same grounds, but not here.) This Solomon is the primary usage of Solomon. (But all this demonstrates that the question is controversial; let's have a WP:RM request in normal form, where all these details can be discussed.)

just to make things clear - which version is your preferred one? JaakobouChalk Talk 03:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer Solomon; it is possible that arguments for King Solomon might persuade me, but I'd have to see them. Others will oppose on the grounds that King is basically redundant, and will provoke requests for its addition where it is entirely redundant, such as Edward II of England. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 05:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Controversial? There hasn't been any discussion there for two weeks and one of the two editors disputing it dropped out of the discussion days prior to that. There is no serious opposition to this standard, and it's used on literally 99% of the articles to which it would apply. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 05:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I concur that it is controversial, and has been for a long time; temporary relaxing of debate on the matter is not a sign that consensus has been reached, as the matter has also been raised at WT:MOS and other places. It simply needs to be centralized, probably with an RfC. The nature of the controversy, for those unaware of it, is that the spaced usage is widely considered archaic and conflicts with most modern style guides, and also inconsistent with the MOS's treatment of abbreviations and acronyms more generally. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 06:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? "Widely considered?" "Most modern style guides?" I'd be interested in how you arrived at this information. I'll post an RfC if you'd like. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 05:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done There you have it. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 05:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I remove my objection to this move, on the basis that until the matter is resolved at WT:NC (or more broadly at WP:MOS, which would be more proper) it is better for the article names to be consistent one way or the other, and the nominator of the moves says these are the only extant unspaced examples he can find (in article names; there are probably tens of thousands of cases in article prose, which is why WP:NC is being disputed on this point - it does not in fact appear to represent consensus, even if bored editors have gone around ensure that article titles conform). — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 02:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It looks like the article on both teams was split into two articles and that the plain title was turned into a disambiguation page. Considering that the talk page deals with topics related to both articles from when they were together at the plain title, and both articles are now linked from the dab page, it would seem fine to just start a new talk page for the USL article. I don't think anything needs to be done here. Dekimasuよ! 13:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's also not terribly difficult to simply refactor talk material from one to the other; I did this with Albinism and Albinism in popular culture (the latter a merger of two other pages and the IPC section in the former). Takes some time, but not difficult. (The only down side is that the page history will be forked, but that's rarely an issue with talk pages.) — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 06:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture 8 Mile is the official name of the 4x Platinum album by Eminem. Just because it's uncommon to be refered by such a long name, it's still not a good reason to deprive the album of it's official name.

Other proposals

I feel strongly that the Ta-Hia page should be moved to Daxia and appropriate adjustments made throughout the article (which I am happy to do - if you wish), for the following reasons: Daxia is the proper spelling according to the Pinyin system of romanising Chinese - the system used by far more people today than any other - including just about everyone in mainland China and people studying Chinese today. It has also become the standard for articles in the Wikipedia (often with the Wade-Giles version included as an alternative). Ta-hsia is the name according to the Wade-Giles system which is an old English system still in use in Taiwan and by older Western scholars, while Ta-hia is from the French E.F.E.O. system and, therefore, not appropriate at all in an English-language article (and even in that system "Ta-Hia" is incorrect). A link to the Daxia River can be inserted at the top of the page. By the way - this article used to be listed under Daxia - but was moved to its present position under the old French name. Also note the present Talk page is still headed with Daxia (Talk:Ta-hsia) - as it was before the move. John Hill (talk) 22:24, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those interested will find a couple of more recent notes on the Talk page. Cheers, John Hill (talk) 00:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • CarignaneCarignan —(Discuss)— Page was originally at Carignan until a user moved it saying that "American spelling" should be used. However Carignan is by far the most common term used with French plantings significantly dwarfing California planting. Historically French Carignan is also more prominent. Chilean, South Africa and even some American wineries (like in Washington State) also use Carignan. Also requesting that current contents of Carignan be moved to Carignan (disambiguation) as primary topic —–Pomte 05:03, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is actually a proposed merge (Discuss) --Lox (t,c) 17:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other requested moves

  • Max Reinhardt (director)Max Reinhardt —(Discuss)— Of the links in other articles to "Max Reinhardt", c. 167 refer to MR the director and 6 (six) to MR the publisher, which seems a clear indication that the director is the primary topic. There is presently a dab page at "Max Reinhardt" (prob unnecessarily, as there are in any case only two). I am happy to go back afterwards and clean up the links. —HeartofaDog (talk) 14:14, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dari (Persian)Eastern Farsi —(Discuss)— Proposed move was because of ambiguity problems with Dari (Afghanistan). Moving to the name that linguists use for the language might help get away from those problems. Unfortunately, instead of discussing the move, an editor simply moved it to Dari (Persian) which introduces new ambiguities. There is an RFC begun on 25 Nov 2007, consensus seems unlikely. Admin supervision seems indicated. —Bejnar (talk) 05:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
