Revision as of 07:26, 6 February 2006
Requested moves is the place to request and vote on article moves that are not straightforward, or that require the assistance of Wikipedia administrators. Normally, logged in users can do uncontroversial moves themselves using the [move] tab found at the top of every page (see Help:Moving a page for more information). However, sometimes this does not work because the target is already occupied (usually in the form of a redirect with a page history). In other situations a move may be controversial and will require discussion to reach a consensus.
Approval voting is encouraged for page moves requested on this page. Requested moves may be implemented if there is a Wikipedia community consensus (generally 60% or more) supporting the moving of an article after five (5) days under discussion on the talk page of the article to be moved, or earlier at the discretion of an administrator. The time for discussion may be extended if a consensus has not emerged.
What requested moves is not for
Before you begin note that requested moves is only for moving articles and sometimes templates. It is not the place for the following:
- Unobstructed, uncontroversial moves
- Moves of this nature can be accomplished by any logged in user using the [move] tab located at the top of every page. See Help:Moving a page.
- Category move requests
- To rename a category, list it at categories for deletion (yes, deletion).
- Image move requests
- To rename an image, reupload the image with the name you want, change the relevent links to reflect the new name, then list the old image at images and media for deletion.
- Merge requests
- To merge two articles, make a request at proposed mergers or be bold and do it yourself.
- Cut and paste move fix requests
- To request page histories to be merged, list them at cut and paste move repairs.
Steps for requesting a page move
(replace PageName with the name of the page to be moved and NewName with your proposed name)
I. | Add the request to the
list on this page To aid the administrators, add a line with the day's date on it directly under the heading of the Current discussions subsection, if it has not already been added for this day. Today is August 4, 2024.
To enter a request for a single page to be moved to a new name, add a line at the top of the section under the date line:
A handy way to do this is to write the following on an empty line:
which will include all the necessary formatting (do not forget the "subst:"). For more complicated requests see #Multiple page moves for formatting suggestions. Include the page's name in your edit summary. Save this page. |
II. | Add the move template to talk page.
Enter the following text at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved:
If you want a page to be moved, but don't yet know what name it should be given, you can use {{moveoptions}} instead to indicate that there are several options to discuss. |
III. | Create a place for discussion
If one does not already exist, create a section on the talk page of the page you want moved for discussion. This can take any form that is reasonable for administrators to follow, but copying the following is suggested: ==Requested move== ===Voting=== ===Discussion=== If you are proposing that multiple closely related pages should all be moved for the same reason (see #Multiple page moves), it may be advisable to create this discussion on only a single talk page and provide links from the other talk pages to this centralized discussion. Please include "move proposal" or similar in the edit summary and don't mark it as minor. Consider checking the "Watch this page" box to follow the page in your watchlist. Save the page. |
What to do on the article page
If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial, for example, it is correcting spelling or capitalisation, update the article reflecting the title it should have (for example, the article is at My Dog but should be at My dog, change the opening sentence to '''My dog''' is furry.). The template CapitalMove is also available, see Category:Requested capitalization moves.
Current discussions
Please list new requests at the top of today's section (August 4) in the format described above. Actual discussions should take place on the listed talk page, not here.

- Talk:John Parker (judge) — John Parker (judge) → John J. Parker – Source and target pages were independently developed articles about the same subject; content of target page was a subset of content of source page; “John J.

The Category:European national football teams uses the term “football” rather than “soccer” in all except the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland articles, both which where recently moved even though their is no consensus to do so. -- Djegan 00:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Chilean wines — Chilean wines → Chilean wine – As per prefer singular nouns naming convention Scharks 01:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

- Talk:Mannville — Mannville → Mannville, Alberta – as per usual placename-comma-province style 24.139.30.75 20:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Māori language — Māori language → Maori language – Correct English form. LuiKhuntek 19:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a source (sub-categorized as "Elsewhere") should have the government references pulled out and made into Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a government source with a subcategory title of "By governments". I'm too new to do it myself.--None Error 18:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- "Troy Brooks" — "Troy Brooks" → Troy Brooks — The quotation marks shouldn't be there. I'm too new to fix this myself. — Tseb 09:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Varroa Mites — Varroa Mites → Varroa jacobsoni – The article refers solely to the species Varroa jacobsoni, and not the whole genus as the title suggests. I cannot move it because of the edit history at Varroa jacobsoni. Stemonitis 08:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
American Academy of Arts and Sciences -I had posted the list of the current Fellows and Foreign Honorary Members on the site but it was deleted.I thought it would be important for everyone to be acquainted with the worthies as this is one of the most coveted honors.I wonder if you would consider restoring it: VR 4th February 2006- This is not about a page move, but belongs on the talkpage of the article: Talk:American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Please discuss it there. Tupsharru 18:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls — Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls → Basilica di San Paolo fuori le Mura – This church seems to be better known by its Italian name, even in English; the articles for other churches in Rome use their Italian names (e.g. Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, Basilica di San Lorenzo fuori le Mura, San Pietro in Vincoli, Santa Maria sopra Minerva), and there was no objection on the talk page after a suggestion to move. I was unable to move it myself to Basilica di San Paolo fuori le Mura because an edit had been done on that page, despite the fact that the page only redirects to the English title. :: Salvo (talk) 02:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Volcan Barú — Volcan Barú → Volcán Barú – fix page name, just need administrator to delete old redirect and move
- The New Jedi Order → New Jedi Order. The naming conventions specify that the page should be at "New Jedi Order". It used to be, in fact, before it was moved for some reason. – Mipadi 17:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Criticisms of Microsoft — Criticisms of Microsoft → Criticism of Microsoft – to match similar articles e.g. Criticism of Islam. The reason given for the recent unilateral move doesn't make much sense. Gazpacho 00:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Akutagawa Ryunosuke — Akutagawa Ryunosuke → Ryunosuke Akutagawa – "Akutagawa" is the family name; blocked by a redirect. Note: the move had been done by copy-paste, and that has just been undone in the same way. A couple of edit history entries were lost in Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Jorge Stolfi 21:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Scalar-Tensor — Scalar-Tensor → Scalar-tensor theory – this is the appropriate, widely used name Joke 21:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Embedded http server — Embedded http server → Embedded HTTP server – "HTTP"/"http" consistency with article text. Fleminra 21:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Pennefather river — Pennefather river → Pennefather river – river was lower case Collywolly 20:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Talk:Carpentier river — Carpentier river → Carpentier River – river was lower case Collywolly 20:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC).
- Both done (not by me, incidentally). Stemonitis 09:44, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Michael Nicholas Clancy — Michael Nicholas Clancy → User:Mikenc – User's personal info page. I'm thinking let's be nice and not db-bio him if it isn't too much trouble. Admins can move so there is no redirect, right? Weregerbil 20:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Emirates (airline) — Emirates (airline) → Emirates Airline - Per the website of the holding company ([1]), this is the airline's proper name. I cannot make the move myself as it will not allow it...an administrator must do it. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 15:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Danjaq, LLC — Danjaq, LLC → Danjaq – standard is to write company names without qualifiers such as LLC, Ltd, PLC, Inc, and so on, unless needed for disambiguation. — sjorford (talk) 14:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Kasim Ouma → Kassim Ouma – Mis-spelled "Kassim". Can this be renamed please. -— rename 10:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Norfolk Regiment → Royal Norfolk Regiment I had moved it back and changed the redirects and then thought better of the decision. GraemeLeggett 10:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Done. SoLando (Talk) 16:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Name plates — Name plates → Nameplate – The name should be singular and it is more frequently spelled as one word if Google results are any indication. However, there is already an article there, so the move requires admin assistance. -- Kjkolb 08:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:J.P. Fillion – J.P. Fillion → Jeff Fillion – First step to clean up this article would be for it to be correctly named. — ABCXYZ 08:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Please take a look in Talk:East Timor for the ongoing discussion between “East-Timor” and “Timor-Leste”. Thank you.--Hello World! 02:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Languages of Oïl – Languages of Oïl → langues d'oïl – It is inconsistent with other articles whose titles are about language groups. — Tim Q. Wells 23:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Pieter Carpentier — Pieter Carpentier → Pieter de Carpentier – name should include de
- Talk:Westernisation — Westernisation → Westernization – It's a matter of "original spelling" not American(s/z)ing; see talk page. Darkildor 23:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Maxim (Radio) — Maxim (Radio) → Maxim Radio – the actual name of this radio channel is "Maxim Radio", not just "Maxim", but the current article for Maxim Radio is a redirect to the magazine. DHowell 21:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:United States Code, 18 USC 794 — United States Code, 18 USC 794 → Wikisource:United States Code, 18 USC 794 – It belongs on Wikisource. —Mark Adler (markles) 20:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:AOL battler - AOL battler → ?; The official title/name is unknown. --136.150.200.99 18:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Volcan Barú — Volcan Barú → Volcán Barú;The article should be retitled because "Volcan", without the accent is not a correctly spelled word in either English or Spanish. Also, it is bizarre to place the accent over Barú but not over Volcan. The mountain does not have a conventional English name. Therefore, it should be listed under its Spanish name, with the accent over the "a". Unfortunately, a "redirect" occupies that position. The redirect should be removed and replaced with the actual article. Marco polo 17:35, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Seven Years' War — Seven Years' War → Seven Years War;
- Talk:Thirty Years' War — Thirty Years' War → Thirty Years War;
- Talk:Hundred Years' War — Hundred Years' War → Hundred Years War;
- and related pages.
- In all three cases, the apostrophe is an overcorrection, which privileges grammar over idiom. I will be setting up a separate vote at the article for each war, but I will recommend that the decision on each page be implemented for related subpages and categories too. Septentrionalis 17:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Princess Charlotte, Princess Royal - Princess Charlotte, Princess Royal → Charlotte, Princess Royal - NC state that queen consorts do not have leading Princess/Duchess/Lady in their article titles. Prsgoddess187 16:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:University of North Carolina System – University of North Carolina System → University of North Carolina – {proper legal name is University of North Carolina} — Jcbarr 14:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Nakahara-ku — Nakahara-ku → Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki – Comply with Japan MoS for all -ku to be of the form XYZ-ku, City. A backwards redirect (from the correct name to the incorrect name) is preventing me from moving it myself. Neier 13:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Mr. Spock — Spock → Spock (disambiguation) / Mr. Spock → Spock – The proposed simpler article name reflects the prevailing form for this iconic character in the Star Trek universe ... and perhaps outside of fandom. Given the prevalence of the sole term to refer to this character vis-à-vis others, it's arguable that there's anything precluding such a move: any other meanings (e.g., treatments for Dr. Spock, etc.) are already accounted for through unique article names and redirects. Beforehand, the creation of the dedicated disambiguation page is also proposed, which would contain the entries currently in the Spock dab. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 18:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Cuisine of Iran — Cuisine of Iran → Iranian cuisine – Look at other cuisine pages: "Italian cuisine", "German cuisine", "British cuisine", etc. AucamanTalk 08:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Publius Licinius Crassus Dives (consul 97 BC) – Publius Licinius Crassus Dives (consul 97 BC) → Publius Licinius Crassus – {(consul 97 BC) is unecessary, there is no conflict with a person of the same name } — Bungeh 06:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Pushpa Kamal Dahal — Pushpa Kamal Dahal → Prachanda – 'Prachanda' is easily the most recognizable name for this leader of the Nepalese Maoists, who, like many revolutionaries, goes by his nom-de-guerre. QuartierLatin1968 05:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Sic (Latin) — Sic (Latin) → Sic – Sic exists as a redirect to SIC. Why not have the more well-known Latin term be at Sic and note the the reader may be looking for SIC at the top of the article? Case is enough of a difference. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 05:14, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:BMT 60th Street Tunnel Connector — BMT 60th Street Tunnel Connector → BMT 60th Street Tunnel Connection – Inadvertent move left a redirect page; attempts to revert article to original name fail due to editing prior to realization of move error. Larry V 05:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Ș — Ș → S-comma – According to the article itself, the article name will not display on most computers; it doesn't on mine. This is not a good thing. Septentrionalis 03:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:GB2312 — GB2312 → GB 2312 - The specification number should get a space between GB and number. --Hello World! 03:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:GB18030 — GB18030 → GB 18030 - Same reason as above. --Hello World! 03:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Morris Park (IRT Dyre Avenue Line station) — Morris Park (IRT Dyre Avenue Line station) → Morris Park (IRT Dyre Avenue Line) – I think that the "station" portion of the name is unnecessary, but the page currently cannot be moved due to a redirect page of the desired name. Larry V 02:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Bill Graham — Bill Graham → Bill Graham (disambiguation) and Talk:Bill Graham (politician) — Bill Graham (politician) → Bill Graham – Bill Graham (politician) is now the Leader of the Opposition in Canada and is more notable than the other Bill Graham while the Billy Grahams have their own dag page and would be unlikely to be confused with Bill Graham and, if so, there could be a note at the top you may be looking for a Billy Graham or for someone else named Bill Graham Jord 01:15, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Um, so why was this just arbitrarily done in less that 30 minutes after being posted? With ZERO input from anyone other than the person proposing the move (in the process deleting the page where the discussion was supposed to take place)? I do NOT agree that the Canadian politician is so overwhelmingly more notable than the rock promoter, that he warrants primary disambiguation (I wouldn't try to argue for the opposite case either). To get primary disambiguation (between just two topics, and we're only talking about the two "Bill"s here) one use should be at least 80-90% more common than the other use, and I think it's more like 60/40 to at most 75/25, which means [Bill Graham] should be the disamb between the other two.
- But my real point is how the hell did this process get so broken (I haven't checked here for months) that now people feel fine about making potentially objectional moves (involving admin rights), without waiting for any input? 24.17.48.241 07:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Pimple - Pimple → Sebaceous cyst - because that's what a pimple is. Dreamer.redeemer 01:14, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- User:Moribunt → User:Theo NL - Renamed my id on NL-WP, id Moribunt will not be used anymore
- User talk:Moribunt → User talk:Theo NL - same reason
Old discussions
Place here discussions which have been active for more than 5 days. Remove them once dealt with.
- Talk:Current sports events - Current sports events → January 2006 in sports - It would be nice if this didn't have to wait five days for a consensus, so that the new page can be formed. MisfitToys 00:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Apostrophe (mark) — Apostrophe (mark) → Apostrophe – Apostrophe used to be the diambig page. I've moved it out of the way, but I can't finish the move because the redirect page is in the way. Thanks, Ben Aveling 22:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Carlito’s Way — Carlito’s Way → Carlito's Way – Confusingly, there are two articles on Carlito's Way, but the former article title uses a special type of apostrophe, and if you type Carlito's Way in the search box, you go here, and are redirected immediately here. The former 'special apostrophe' article should be moved to the latter 'normal apostrophe' article, and the 'special apostrophe' article deleted. --DarrenBaker 21:13, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Canadian Arctic — Canadian Arctic → Northern Canada – The proposed article name is consistent with other Canadian regional article names, is somewhat more accurate yet inclusive, and harks of the more prevalent term online. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 18:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Mini-Con (Transformers) — Mini-Con (Transformers) → Mini-Con – A user moved the Mini-Con article and made a completely unnecessary disambig. I am requesting that it be moved back to its proper place. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 18:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Ralph Macchio (actor) — Ralph Macchio (actor) → Ralph Macchio – Most people looking for Ralph Macchio will be looking for the star of the Karate Kid series, not some comic book editor. A disambig page shouldn't have only 2 links to short articles like Ralph Macchio does, everyone needs an extra click. I've placed an inline disambig link to the top of the Ralph Macchio (actor) article already. Hahnchen 18:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:British Airways Citiexpress — British Airways Citiexpress → BA Connect – New name of airline, as of today[2] wangi 09:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:kafir (Islam) — kafir (Islam) → infidel – Title "kafir" is not an English word, and has a proper English translation, "infidel"; kafir has other senses in English. Jorge Stolfi 09:22, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Gongchi notation - Gongchi notation -> Gongche notation Confirmed with more correct pronunciation. Need admin help to delete the redirect page before moving. -- Felix Wan 22:11, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Suicide bombing - Suicide bombing -> Suicide attack summary of talk page: definition would include 9/11, be more equiv to other lang wikis - Adam Mathias 21:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Bridges/List of bridge reference sites — Wikipedia:WikiProject Bridges/List of bridge reference sites → pghbridges.com – pghbridges.com was put up on AfD Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Pghbridges.com and closed as keep. While there were some who called for movement, I do not believe that was the consensus outcome. Comments from participants, especially towards the end, after I addressed concerns about WP:N and after I gave the example of Structurae and other reference websites, suggest that keeping it in articlespace was the right outcome. I was about to create a new category:Reference websites to hold it when it was moved. It cannot be simply moved back as the talk page is not a simple redirect, the mover (Radiant) added info to the redirect. Perhaps this is a matter for WP:DRV, I'm not sure. I've asked the closing admin (fuddlemark) for input as to what he judged consensus to be (normally I've seen people put "consensus was 'move with no redirect'" rather than "consensus was keep" when that was what they judged consensus to be) but haven't heard back yet from the closing admin. Radiant and have talked about it (User_talk:Radiant!#pghbridges.com) at some length without reaching a consensus, and he suggested it I bring it up here. ++Lar: t/c 20:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Tabari — Tabari → Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari – Tabari is a generic term for the people of Tabaristan. There are several people called al-Tabari. The full name should be given to clarify things. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 14:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

- Talk:Historical European Martial Arts — Historical European Martial Arts → Historical European martial arts – Not a proper noun as such (though the term appears in some proper names, like those of organisations), no reason for caps.

- Talk:Uusimaa (region) — Uusimaa (region) → Uusimaa – Currently there are two disambiguation pages for Uusimaa: Uusimaa and Uusimaa (disambiguation). This can be very confusing, since most of the people who type "Uusimaa" want to go straight to the article which is currently under the name Uusimaa (region). I suggest Uusimaa (region) is moved to its proper article, which is Uusimaa, and which will leave Uusimaa (disambiguation) as the sole disambiguation page. Besides, the straight equivalent of Uusimaa (region) in the Finnish Wikipedia is Uusimaa. [3] --Thorri 14:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- Uusimaa (disambiguation) should be a redirect to Uusimaa, not the other way around. JIP | Talk 15:07, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- That's assuming all meanings are equally notable, of course. If the Uusimaa region is the most notable meaning then I agree with User:Thorri. JIP | Talk 15:09, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the article Uusimaa (region) is the most important article of the bunch and should be under Uusimaa. As an example, "New York" is about the state of New York, while the article of the city of New York is not under the name "New York", even though it is equally important if not even more important since most people think about the city of New York when thinking about New York. What I'm trying to say is that the historical province of Uusimaa (actually known as Nylandia, not Uusimaa!) or Etelä-Suomi (Southern Finland, also not known as Uusimaa) are not more important than the actual article about the actual Uusimaa. I just wish people would understand that! --Thorri 10:43, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

- You'll have to merge the two disambiguation pages first, then I'll move. —Nightstallion (?) 09:05, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Additional notes
Multiple page moves
For single page moves with more than one option for the destination name:
- Talk:page to be moved -- page to be moved to new page or new page two etc -- {brief reason for move} -- ~~~~
For block moves:
- Talk:page to be moved -- page to be moved 1 to target page 1

An example of how to request to move a block of pages:
- Talk:The Levellers -- Levellers to Levellers (disambiguation)
- The Levellers to Levellers
- the word "The" should be removed from the Levellers page. -- ~~~~
Another example of how to request to move a block of pages:
- Talk:Third world -- First world to First World,
- Second world to Second World and
- Third world to Third World
- This was a move made earlier in the year as a block move, after listing on this page because all three were blocked by edits to the target pages -- ~~~~
