Revision as of 14:15, 16 November 2006

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 here proposals that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete. Things like capitalization and spelling mistakes would be appropriate here. If there is any prior discussion as to the name of the article please link to it. If there is any doubt as to whether a page move could be opposed by anyone, do not list it in this section.

Please use {{subst:WP:RM2|Old Page Name|Requested name|Reason for move}} in this section only; do not copy, paste, and edit previous entries. No dated sections are necessary, and no templates on the article's talk page are necessary.

If your request was not fulfilled, and was removed from this section, please relist it in the other proposals section below.


Chief Ministers of NWFP and List of Chief Ministers of North-West Frontier Province: seeing that "Chief Ministers of NWFP" was simply a list of the ministers, I moved it to the other name. However, the article still has its old name in its category, and the talk page (if there was one) seems to have disappeared. Nyttend 21:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nine BallNine-ball — (and vice-versa move of the redirect presently going from "Nine-ball" to "Nine Ball") The original title is an ungrammatical typo, and does not agree with current article text. It also violates WP article naming conventions ("Ball" should not be capitalized.) Also in conflict with other [X]-ball articles, e.g. Three-ball. —— SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] 12:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other proposals

Make sure that all of the proposals listed below have a discussion set up on talk page of the article to be moved. Please use the template {{subst:Wikipedia:RM}} and, if necessary, create a new dated section.

Comment Submitter is racist POV pusher whose POV pushing group have been trying to make a mockery of NPOV on that page and who created an entire POV fork just for the purpose of trying to make it as bad as possible. This should be rejected as quick as possible. NotAWeasel 14:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • JDG-009X Devil GundamJDG-009X Dark Gundam —(Discuss)— This is a very peculiar case, IMHO. The original Japanese name of this Gundam is Devil (デビル, deberu), but it was never written in English as Devil Gundam. The official English name is Dark Gundam, as seen on Bandai's site. Google is not much help either, since "Devil Gundam" comes up with 11,100 hits, and "Dark Gundam" comes up with only 750 hits. But the official English name is still "Dark Gundam". I'm actually unsure myself which one this should be, because the Japanese name is based on an English word, but there's a different English word used for the official English name. Yes, it's confusing, and I'm sorry. —Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 23:52, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The move of this page to Pretenders to the kingdom of Portugual was not discussed in the first place. Charles 05:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bay of Green BayGreen Bay (Lake Michigan)—(Discuss)—The current name conflates local disambigutory references with "the official name" for the Bay, in contradiction of every map and other published resource referenced...furthering this erroneous conflation with erroneous statements made within the article itself. This, in effect, sets Wikipedia up to be a proponent of changing the name of the Bay, instead of merely covering the Bay itself. While there is no problem with the WP article discussing the usage of "Bay of Green Bay", there is a severe problem incurred by WP promoting this terminology. This is being listed on WP:RM mostly to elicit further discussion w/o resorting to WP:RFC, prior to making a move that previous discussion seems to indicate is supported by consensus among the small number of editors who have already commented thereupon.

Moved: there was 80% consensus at the time I moved it, subsequent to the move, one user wanted further discussion, but since their proposal was outnumbered 10:1, and is the least popular of all among the three choices. I'm disinclined to revisit the discussion unless there is another explicit move request to do so. -- Karada 15:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • IonthasChaos (Dragonlance) —(Discuss)— I believe this page was considered for moving before, but I have proof that Chaos is not only the more common name, it is the correct name. In Dragons of a Vanished Moon HC Appendix (page 528-529), it states the Chaos's true name is Ionthas, and was prior to his fall (such as Lucifer coming to be known as Satan). However, in Holy Orders of the Stars, which supersedes that Appendix in matters related to the gods, it states on page 109 that Chaos is his only name. Therefore, this page, per naming policies, must be moved. I think Chaos (Dragonlance) was the former title and whatnot so this has to go through this policy, if I'm wrong tell me and correct it. Thank you. —DoomsDay349 20:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Greater_Romania_PartyGreat_Romania_Party —(Discuss)— The current translation is (gramatically and semantically) incorrect. Besides that, there are sources that point to the correct name, including the Romanian Parliament's website. The correct name is also in full conformity with the Wikipedia Naming conventions. According to the NC for organizations and political parties, the English translation of the name should be used. The English translation is Great_Romania_Party. It seems there are some wikipedians that refuse to stick by the rules and invent new ones - such as "using the most comonly used translation" even if this is an incorrect translation and no surce was given to support this argument. —-Paul- 16:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. The current Tiger Stadium (Detroit) redirect be deleted.

  • WebsiteWeb site —(Discuss)— Based on English grammar rules and disucssion on talk page, prior to proposal. As explained within the article itself, Web is short for World Wide Web (a name, and thus always capitalized). Common usage Web seperates Web from what the thing it is connected to. For example, Web page, Web site, Web server, Web browser. Each has a space in-between. The title does not present that, at its current state. —UBeR 20:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
