Revision as of 17:50, 20 November 2009

November 20, 2009

(Discuss) — ISO/IEC 27000 → ISO/IEC 27000-series — I suggest this topic (and ISO 27000) be redirected to the more precicely named (and more complete) ISO/IEC 27000-series. --Burt Harris (talk) 15:23, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Eprouvez/JapaBrz → JapaBrz — A short reason for page name change. --Eprouvez (talk) 09:24, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Parable of the minas or talents → Parable of the talents or minas — The "parable of the talents" is the more prominent of the two parables, and in fact, that parable gave rise to the modern meaning of the word "talent." ^{Carlaude:Talk} 08:10, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Fourth ballot box → --something to be decided-- — This needs to be renamed, since it could easily refer to a fourth item for a California ballot initiative, or something.76.66.197.2 (talk) 06:07, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Projectmbt → Obamanation — Distinct common usage of term vs book title --Projectmbt (talk) 04:10, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Projectmbt/new article name here → Obamanation — Distinct common usage of term vs book title. --Projectmbt (talk) 03:55, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Museum of Science, Boston → Museum of Science — Neither "Museum of Science, Boston" nor "Boston Museum of Science" are the name of the museum, it's simply "Museum of Science". No other major science museum goes by this name. The article title should match the name of the museum. --UsaSatsui (talk) 03:33, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 19, 2009

(Discuss) — Shaomai → Shumai — According to the Google Hits, Shumai is the most common name. See below. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 23:37, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Chronology of events of the 2009 Honduran coup d'état → Chronology of the 2009 Honduran constitutional crisis — I am well aware of the early discussions (in July 2009) regarding the title and POV issues, but I would appreciate your evaluation of the following:Since the result of the recent Request for deletion of 2009 Honduran coup d'état was "no consensus" and it appears that 2009 Honduran constitutional crisis will remain the umbrella article of Fourth ballot box, 2009 Honduran coup d'etat, and Micheletti regime, I propose that this chronology, which has grown to encompass events from timeframes covered by the above articles (up to eight months before the coup, and the machinations, negotiations, and significant notable events subsequent to June 28) be renamed to reflect this.I understand that this article was originally designed to discuss (as its lede still suggests) the events of June 28 and the immediate aftermath. The current chronology in the article, however, goes beyond the material in 2009 Honduran coup d'état and encompasses a lot of material from Fourth ballot box and Micheletti regime. I might also note that, anticipating criticism from some regarding WP:NAME conventions, that the vast majority of RSs use the word "crisis" rather than "coup" to refer to the entire situation (previous to the coup, events of June 28, and throughout the last few months), and retain "coup" to describe only the events of June 28. I suggest the above name as an analogue to the umbrella article. Moogwrench (talk) 19:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — List of people who died in public → list of actors and musicians who died during a live performance — The aim of this list, as revision history shows, it had gone away from what it originally was to being also about people dying on live television, people dying on the street and sportspeople dying in a sporting event (which a list exist for that), also this proposal aims to keep this list less indiscriminate, mainly to keep anything other than sports separate from this list and to keep this list to what it was originally was, about actors and musicians who died during a performance. --Donnie Park (talk) 19:31, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — John Smeaton (baggage handler) → John Smeaton (born 1976) — (see talk page) --MickMacNee (talk) 16:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — List of software which supports Office Open XML → List of software that supports Office Open XML — More correct English grammar. Nigelj (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Grandiose delusions → Grandiosity — Grandiosity has a broader meaning than grandiose delusions and not just associated with being delusional. Grandiosity in DSM-IV is a symptom of delusional, narcissistic, bipolar (manic) and possibly schizophrenia. The bipolar sense of the word is already mentioned in Grandiose delusions. I think Grandiose also needs to be set up as a redirect to Grandiosity.--Penbat (talk) 10:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — University of the Philippines Visayas - Cebu College → University of the Philippines Visayas Cebu College — 1. On its 1223rd meeting held on August 22, 2007, the Board of Regents clarified the naming convention of constitutent universities and satellite campuses of the UP System. [[1]] JinJian (talk) 07:29, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Muhammad Hamid al-Qarani → Mohamed el Gharani — ^ His name used by all major sources like NYT's, BBC, Reuters, Der Spiegel... [2],[3],[4],[5] IQinn (talk) 07:22, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — University of the Philippines Visayas - Tacloban College → University of the Philippines Visayas Tacloban College — 1. On its 1223rd meeting held on August 22, 2007, the Board of Regents clarified the naming convention of constitutent universities and satellite campuses of the UP System. [[6]] 2. UPV Tacloban College does not use a dash between the words Visayas and Tacloban on its websites [[7]][[8]] JinJian (talk) 07:10, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Sporting District → Omaha Sporting District — The name of the article does not uniquely identify the topic. --Mcorazao (talk) 06:00, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Cape Cod and Islands → Cape Cod and the Islands — Relisted. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 18, 2009

(Discuss) — Tujuh bulanan → Naloni Mitoni — The ceremony is Javanese, so let's use the Javanese name for it rather than the Bahasa Indonesia name. Martindo (talk) 23:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — About Sheikh → About Sheikh — The article About Sheikh was created by copy and paste after this article with an Arabic title had been translated. A page move is in order to preserve the original edit history of . --De728631 (talk) 22:16, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Aiden Wilson Tozer → A. W. Tozer — per WP:COMMONNAME, initials are overwhelmingly more common:*8,990 for "Aiden Wilson Tozer" vs. 205,000 for "A. W. Tozer" on Google web*17 vs. 259 on Google news archiveἈλήθεια 21:57, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Free deconvolution → Free convolution — Free convolution is the standard terminology in free probability theory (see e.g. the book Free Random Variables by D. Voiculescu, K. Dykema, A. Nica, CRM Monograph Series, AMS 1992) --Shlyakht (talk) 20:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Bardiya of Persia → Bardiya — This article is in an unsatisfactory limbo, after a previous move request resulted in "no consenus". In my view we should now move it to "Bardiya". As a result of previous move discussions his two immediate predecessors as monarch of Persia (Cyrus the Great and Cambyses II) do not have "of Persia" in their title, so in his case "of Persia" is superfluous. PatGallacher (talk) 16:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson → Alfred, Lord Tennyson — As stated in the article's own lede, Tennyson is "much better known as 'Alfred, Lord Tennyson,'" so that's where the article should be under our "use common names" guideline. This is also in line with WP:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#British_peerage, which says "When individuals inherited or were created peers but are best known to history by a courtesy title use that. Examples: Frederick North, Lord North (not 'Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford'), Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh (not 'Robert Stewart, 2nd Marquess of Londonderry')." The new title is thus perfectly in line with both WP:UCN and WP:NCROY. Powers ^T 15:12, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Sky Italia → SKY Italia — The page name has been improperly and incorrectly changed with "KY" as lower-case.The "KY" letters used in "SKY" logos are upper-case,although that's a frequent error committed also by the same SKY Italia.As a proof see the corporate web pages about SKY Italia: [9], [10] --ElSaxo (talk) 14:58, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Belle de Jour (writer) → Brooke Magnanti — This article was created when her identity was unknown, now that she has gone public we can move it. --PatGallacher (talk) 11:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Remote backup service → Online backup — Move. This is today the most commonly used term by far. For example 2,320,000 google results for "Online Backup", 53,500 results for "Remote backup service". --Marokwitz (talk) 09:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Boydsmithjr/Stevenson Sylvester (Linebacker) → Stevenson Sylvester (linebacker) — The page is completed and ready to be published. --Boydsmithjr (talk) 08:44, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — City and Town Hall → City and Town Hall, Rochelle, Illinois — The name is too similar to the general article City and town halls, and a search for Rochelle would not find this article. ProfDEH (talk) 08:31, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Fono → Legislative Assembly of Samoa — * The article about the Legislative Assembly of Samoa is currently called Fono, a Samoan word. This is misleading and wrong. The word fono in the Samoan language means any 'meeting' or 'council' small or large. it is a generic term. It's like giving the page title Meeting, which is meaningless and confusing. The page should use the English terms Legislative Assembly of Samoa, so there's no confusion. Teine Savaii (talk) 08:29, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Micheletti regime → Interim Presidency of Roberto Micheletti — Whatever may be our opinion of the man and how he came to power, "regime" is a loaded term and should be avoided in titles. He is at least acting as President of Honduras, and this is a perfectly neutral way of describing the phenomenon, and also in harmony with the other entries at Category:Presidencies. -- Biruitorul ^Talk 07:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Jules Adolphe Aimé Louis Breton → Jules Breton — Per WP:NAMEPEOPLE, the name of a biographical article should be the most common and most generally recognisable name of the person. As far as I'm concerned, that's unquestionably "Jules Breton" rather than "Jules Adolphe Aimé Louis Breton". --MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 03:13, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 17, 2009

(Discuss) — User:Benannie/The Jeannie Tate Show → The Jeannie Tate Show — Please create this page. --Benannie (talk) 23:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Mediaxtream/Gigle Networks (Gigle) → Gigle Networks (Gigle) — Requesting to move to main space. --Mediaxtream (talk) 22:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Roadstar → Heaven's Basement — The band go under the name Heaven's Basement now and have not split up as the page previously suggested. --Newsteadgirl (talk) 21:11, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — The League → The League (TV series) — Since "The league" already has a disambiguation page, it should be specified in the title of this page. Mwn3d (talk) 19:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — 2009 Honduran coup d'état → ? — - Since there was no consensus to delete, we need to talk about moving this to an accurate, neutral title. Thoughts? Ed Wood's Wig (talk) 18:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Capenj/Thomas Zeumer → Thomas Zeumer — re-establishing article that was deleted more along wikipedia guidelines --Capenj (talk) 18:03, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Substituted amphetamine → Substituted amphetamines — In this context amphetamines is the name of a category of compounds, only used as plural. Single has another meaning here. --Wickey-nl (talk) 16:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Fit seeking jump bid → Fit showing jump bid — This is how these jump bids are referred to in the Bridge literature. Making request on behalf of User:Bluecor per question at WP:NCHP. – ukexpat (talk) 14:59, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Great Lakes Blizzard of 1977 → Blizzard of '77 — Common name. Powers ^T 14:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Thomas Blackburn → Thomas Blackburn (poet) — I don't think there is really a primary topic here. It seems better for the dab page to be at the bare name and a disambiguator to be added to the title of this article. None of the five articles on the dab page appears to get significantly more page views than the others (none of them get many, actually). --Deor (talk) 14:15, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thomas Blackburn (disambiguation) → Thomas Blackburn

(Discuss) — Hitar Petar → Sly Peter — The name of this folk character should be presented in English. The title suggests that his ethnicity is Bulgarian (even though the article is neutral to his ethnicity) due to the fact that the name "Hitar Petar" is the Bulgarian version of this famous folk character. If we rename/translate the page into Sly Peter, the ethnicity of this character is back to being neutral, as it should be.--Sonetnoir (talk) 05:10, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Comparison of vampire traits → Tables of vampire traits — This would be a much more accurate description of what the article is. If someone wants to create a separate article for a prose account of comparative vampire lore, they can do so under another similarly descriptive name, such as "Evolution of vampires in literature". The two articles can refer to each other. And they can sink or swim (surviving AfDs or not) on their own separate merits. --Pi zero (talk) 01:59, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 16, 2009

(Discuss) — Jessica Hynes → Jessica Stevenson — Someone told me that she is better known under her maiden name. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Samantha Womack → Samantha Janus — Someone told me that she is better known under her maiden name. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Prashanth Thyagarajan → Prashanth — * The actor had logged in and changed it to his birth name (Prashanth Thiagarajan), so a spelling mistake is evident. It would be best to change it to what he is best known as, simply Prashanth. User:Universal Hero 18:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Tre Kronor (castle) → Three Crowns Castle — Seems inconsistent to me to translate the names of the kings here at en.WP (Charles et al) but keep a phonetic impediment such as this Swedish-language name for their Castle. Surely no one ever called it Tre Kronor when speaking or writing English about it while it existed. SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:27, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Vasopressin → arginine vasopressin — As the preceding explanation by AlbertHall indicates, the official name is arginine vasopressin. I suggest renaming this article as arginine vasopressin and redirecting vasopressin here --Chibibrain (talk) 04:15, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Afowler702/Roosevelt Toston → Roosevelt Toston — I'm currently doing research on African-American history in Las Vegas, NV. Roosevelt Toston is one of the figures included in my research and I feel that his contributions to Las Vegas broadcast journalism and tourism are substantial and wiki-worthy. --Afowler702 (talk) 03:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 15, 2009

(Discuss) — List of emo artists → List of emo bands —

(Discuss) — List of dance-punk artists → List of dance-punk bands —

(Discuss) — List of alternative metal artists → List of alternative metal bands —

(Discuss) — User:L.Featherweight/new article name here → Mostly Other People Do the Killing — — Added new relevant article. --L.Featherweight (talk) 20:07, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — 1995 Canadian Open (tennis) → 1995 du Maurier Open — It is the actual sponsored name for the tournament rather than a generalisation. Totalinarian (talk) 18:11, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Saint Lucia Giant Rice-rat → Megalomys luciae — This species is mainly known under its scientific name, Megalomys luciae, not under any of the various common names that authors have devised for it--"Santa Lucian Pilorie", "Santa Lucian Giant Rice Rat", "St Lucy Giant Rice-rat", "Saint Lucian Musk Rat", and probably more. See WT:MAMMAL#Common names for a fuller discussion of why I prefer to use scientific names for animals such as this. Ucucha 16:15, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Coast Guard Administration (Republic of China) → Coast Guard Administration (Taiwan) — If we need a name in brackets to ensure people know where we're talking about, I suggest "Taiwan" for absolute clarity. Most people don't know what the ROC is and as ROC isn't part of the organisation's title there's no need to confuse them. After all we already have articles on Economy of Taiwan, etc. --John Smith's (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Ferrari 308 GTB → Ferrari 208/308 — Naming consistency, current title put weight on the coupe GTB over the GTS model. --Donnie Park (talk) 13:42, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Dalki → Dalki (village) — Current name obstructs navigation from recently created page "Dalki (cartoon)". --Morganthegreat (talk) 13:38, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 14, 2009

(Discuss) — Garður → Gardur — 1) Spelling used in English by the town itself. The town's website uses Garður in English a few times, apparently by mistake since it mostly uses Gardur. 2) Garður incomprehensible to almost all Wikipedia users. 3) The article should mention Garður once in the lede: "Gardur or Garður (original spelling) is a settlement in the municipality of ..." 4) (This is a completely different problem from accents or umlauts, which do not need to be ignored or changed to oe etc. because they do not make the words incomprehensible i.e. unreadable to WP users.) --Espoo (talk) 23:32, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Garðabær → Gardabær — 1) Spelling used in English by the town itself. The town does not use Garðabær in English. 2) Garðabær unreadable and incomprehensible to almost all Wikipedia users. 3) The article should mention Garðabær once in the lede: "Gardabær or Garðabær (original spelling) is a settlement in the municipality of ..." 4) (This is a completely different problem from accents or umlauts, which do not need to be ignored or changed to oe etc. because they do not make the words incomprehensible i.e. unreadable to WP users.)--Espoo (talk) 21:36, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Þingeyri → Thingeyri — 1) Spelling used in English by the town itself. The town does not use Þingeyri in English. 2) The official website of the town of Isafjordur, to which Thingeyri belongs, also uses only the spelling Thingeyri in English. 3) Þingeyri incomprehensible to almost all Wikipedia users. Probably 99% of WP users read it as Pingeyri or Dingeyri. 4) The article should mention Þingeyri once in the lede: "Thingeyri or Þingeyri (original spelling) is a settlement in the municipality of ..." 5) (This is a completely different problem from accents or umlauts, which do not need to be ignored or changed to oe etc. because they do not make the words incomprehensible i.e. unreadable to WP users.)--Espoo (talk) 21:27, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Vespucci's Rodent → Noronhomys — In the relevant literature on this animal, it is usually referred to as just Noronhomys; the proposed common name "Vespucci's Rodent" is used in a single scholarly work (though a very important one), on Wikipedia, and some Internet reference sites that probably got their information from Wikipedia. In contrast, scholarly articles on the topic (of which there are not many) universally refer to it by the scientific name, as does the IUCN Red List. See WT:MAMMAL#Common names for a lengthy discussion on this topic. Ucucha 21:24, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Weißenfels → Weissenfels — 1) Spelling used in English by the town itself. 2) Weißenfels incomprehensible to almost all Wikipedia users. Probably 99% of WP users read it as Weibenfels. 3) (This is a completely different problem from umlauts, which do not need to be ignored or changed to ae etc. because they do not make the words incomprehensible i.e. unreadable to WP users.) --Espoo (talk) 20:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Gießen → Giessen — 1) Spelling used in English by the city itself. 2) Official spelling used by the University of Giessen uses ss. The university would not be using that spelling if it weren't well-established and recognised in general and scholarly publications. 3) Spelling commonly used by English guide books and reference works such as Britannica. 4) Gießen incomprehensible to almost all Wikipedia users. Probably 99% of WP users cannot read it at all or misread it as Gieben. 5) (This is a completely different problem from umlauts, which do not need to be ignored or changed to ae etc. because they do not make the words incomprehensible i.e. unreadable to WP users.) --Espoo (talk) 20:21, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Digibox (Sky Digital) → Digibox — * Digibox is a trademark referring to a Sky Digital receiver only. The disambiguation page is unnecessary as the two alternatives both refer to the same colloquial usage but in different countries, i.e. that a "digi box" means any "set top box" - this should be hatnoted at the top of the moved page — Rapido (talk) 19:58, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Amaretto → Amaretto (liquer) — The liqueur is one of many things called amaretto, and most of those things are not this liqueur. --Una Smith (talk) 19:31, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Amaretto (disambiguation) → Amaretto

(Discuss) — Adam Black (footballer born 1898) → Adam Black (Leicester City footballer) — More sensible page name. Isofox (talk) 18:25, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Biased sample → Sampling bias — As seen in Template:Biases, every bias-article that has the ability to do so is in the ___ bias format, except this one. I think the unusual naming originally was a way to make it appear different from selection bias, but I've tried to rather explain the difference in the article itself, so any extraordinary name is no longer required. Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:31, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Bizcocho → Bizcocho (Uruguay) — The baked good called bizcocho in Uruguay is a croissant, and apart from being a baked good it has nothing to do with bizcochos elsewhere. --Una Smith (talk) 16:13, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Bizcocho (disambiguation) → Bizcocho

(Discuss) — Scud FM → Radio 4 News FM — This article should be at the actual name of the station, not the nickname. The nickname was far from universal, was never popularly encouraged, and was in any case only applied later in the war (the Scud missiles were at first not familiar and had to be explained). The policy on naming conventions does not give any support to using a nickname where an official and simple name is available, and positively discourages pejorative names. Sam Blacketer (talk) 15:47, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Aloysius Snuffleupagus → Mr. Snuffleupagus — Only his mother calls him Aloysius. Per WP:UCN, we should use the most common name. "Snuffy" may be used more often, but it's just a nickname, so I believe "Mr. Snuffleupagus" is the proper title. It's also what Muppet Wiki uses, for whatever that's worth. Powers ^T 14:54, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — (Las Vegas) In the Hills of Donegal → Las Vegas (In the Hills of Donegal) — Brackets are incorrect. On the albums tracklist the song title is given as "Las Vegas (In the Hills of Donegal)" rather than "(Las Vegas) In The Hills of Donegal". This would move the page to its correct title. --Mahone1 (talk) 13:09, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 13, 2009

(Discuss) — Airport Express Train → Flytoget — Suggesting move to Flytoget - due to common use in english (google?) 83.100.251.196 (talk) 22:12, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — 2005 Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal fire → Buncefield fire — (see talk page) — MickMacNee (talk) 17:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Podcatcher → List of Podcatchers — There has been controversy as to whether Podcatchers deserve their own article as show on the Talk page of this article. Users effectively deleted it by replacing the entire article with a redirect. The main content of the article is a list of podcatchers. If the name were changed, there wouldn't be an argument that the info doesn't belong, because it would be in the correct type of page. The only reason I couldn't do this myself is that the page already exists as a redirect. --The Talking Sock talk contribs 16:31, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Disestablishmentarianism → Disestablishment — Obviously the right name for the article. Whoever put it here just wants it for the word antidisestablishmentarianism, a nonce Victorian word (and not by any means the longest in English). Put it where it should be. Si Trew (talk) 11:32, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Muhammad Mahabat Khanji III → Nawab of Junagadh — He is commonly famous as the Nawab of Junagadh, he was the last ruling chief of the Princely State of Junagadh in British India. Hardly anyone knows him by his name, though he is famous as Nawab of Junagadh. He became famous for saving the Asiatic Lions from extinction, his love for Dogs and wanting to acceded his small Princely State landlocked in India to Pakistan during Partition of India --mrigthrishna (talk) 10:13, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Union of Fascist Little Ones → Union of Young Fascists (Soviet Union) — Proposing move to continue discussion there. By no means do I expect my proposal to be the consensus right now, but it is clumsy as it is, I don't want to do OR but that is almost inevitable in trivial ways in translation, i.e. one must choose the best meaning which occasionally means changing the literal meaning, and I can't see that saying "Young" or "Youth" instead of the awkward "little ones" would substantially harm the meaning, while being more natural English. Si Trew (talk) 07:10, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

National Institute of Information Technologies → NIIT (move) — This move is about a company who don't use the full form it simply uses NIIT as there brand identity. There no such full form that the company currently uses 122.161.164.140 (talk) 17:50, 20 November 2009 (UTC)--122.161.164.140 (talk) 17:50, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Eleanor of Castile, Queen of Aragon → Eleanor of Castile (1202-1244) — The rationale for this move was good, but there was another Eleanor of Castile who was Queen of Aragon (Eleanor of Castile (1307–1359)) which makes the current title ambigious.

(Discuss) — Mac OS X Leopard → Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard — During discussion on the previous successful move proposal, several people expressed a preference to using full names including version numbers, eg. Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. I disagree with this personally, but I think the option deserves discussion anyway. --—INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 21:08, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Çeçpĕl Mishshi → Mišši Şeşpĕl — Mišši Şeşpĕl was a Chuvash poet, but for some reason this article uses broken Tatar spelling. Ali Savatar 19:25, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Edremit (District), Balıkesir → Edremit — There were other examples of using a meaninglessly equivocal and complicated title like this one -"Town name (District), Province name"- for several Turkish town/district names and by now these are modified into the pattern -"Town name, Province name"-; see history for Konak, İzmir, Urla, İzmir or Menemen. Proposing to fit Edremit (Edremit, Balıkesir, by far the most significant city under the name) into the same formula. For purposes of distinguishing between localities of the same name, a simple disiambiguation page should suffice. I will put a move request for converting Edremit (District), Van, a much smaller settlement of the same name, into Edremit, Van once this move is accepted and completed.

(Discuss) — MTR MLR Train EMU → East Rail Line Metro Cammell EMU — MLR refers only to the refurbished trains, not the refurbished and unrefurbished trains as a whole. The person who changed the name to MLR Train might not have considered the unrefurbished units seen in the 1980s and 1990s. --Mbssbs (talk) 03:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Chilean Climbing Mouse → Irenomys — - As explained at length here, "common names" for animals such as this are not really in common use, and the articles should therefore be located at the scientific names. Usage of the genus name as the article title for a genus with a single species follows established practice in articles like Andrewsarchus, Lundomys, and Pseudoryzomys.

 * ''([[Talk:Union of Fascist Little Ones#Propose move to formalise the discussion |Discuss]])'' — '''[[:Union of Fascist Little Ones]] → [[Union of Young Fascists (Soviet Union)]]''' — Proposing move to continue discussion there. By no means do I expect my proposal to be the consensus right now, but it is clumsy as it is, I don't want to do OR but that is almost inevitable in trivial ways in translation, i.e. one must choose the best meaning which occasionally means changing the literal meaning, and I can't see that saying "Young" or "Youth" instead of the awkward "little ones" would substantially harm the meaning, while being more natural English.
