Wikipedia:Requested moves

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.
• 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 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 possibility that the proposed page move could be opposed by anyone, do not list it in this section. If the move location appears as a red link you should be able to move the article using the move button of the top of the article's page and don't need to use this page

Please use {{subst:WP:RM2|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} for uncontroversial moves 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.

---

• Biological devolution → Devolution (fallacy) — Revert, but the user modified the old redirect so I couldn't move it back myself. There is a similar naming discussion happening over at Talk:Evolution that the moving user has participated in, thus would have know that this would have been a controversial move. Thanks. —darkliight^[πalk] 20:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Parterre (horticulture) → Parterre — Returning to the only encyclopedic subject. Theatrical parterre, not encyclopedic in itself, becomes a dab to Theater (structure) at head of Parterre page. Many double redirects avoided. —Wetman 09:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC) -Wetman 09:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Category:Polish scouts and guides → Category:Polish Scouts and Guides — Capitalization-as per Scouting WikiProject MoS, both are proper nouns and always capitalized in English. —Chris 14:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC) Chris 14:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • This should be at WP:CFD. Recury 20:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Christian extremist terrorism → Christian terrorism —(Discuss)— Page was originally moved to Christian extremist terrorism to match Islamic extremist terrorism. That article is now called Islamist terrorism, so Christian extremist terrorism should also drop the modifier "extremist" to be called simply Christian terrorism —Joie de Vivre 18:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC) Joie de Vivre 18:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Other proposals

All of the proposals listed below need to have a discussion set up on talk page of the article to be moved. Please use the template {{subst:WP:RM|Old Page Name|Requested name|Reason for move}} and, if necessary, create a new dated section.

8 January 2007

• Kildare North → Kildare North (Dáil Éireann constituency) —(Discuss)— Pages to be swapped; New name currently re-directs to old name, I cannot move it as the redirect page has more than 1 line of history. —Snappy56 20:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC) Snappy56 20:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Soviet aircraft carrier Kuznetsov → Soviet aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov —(Discuss)— Nobody calls it "Kuznetsov"—it's always referred to as "Admiral Kuznetsov." ——Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 15:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Kuznetsov class aircraft carrier → Admiral Kuznetsov class aircraft carrier —(Discuss)— See preceeding entry. ——Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 15:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Rubery village → Rubery —(Discuss)— This village is known as Rubery not Rubery village — 15:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Fatima (disambiguation) → Fatima —(Discuss)— completing the undoing of an overhasty move of Fatima Zahra to Fatima. The proposal is oviously uncontroversial in itself, but effectively it amount to reopening the original move proposal. If a proper consensus emerges for the original proposal, then Fatima Zahra will be moved back toFatima; if my current proposal is the consensus, then Fatima (disambiguation) will move back there. Either way, Fatima should not be a redirect page. Also, the Talk: pages of these three pages, as well as Talk:Fatima (name), have become tangled together. —jnestorius^(talk) 14:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Queen Kunti → Kunti —(Discuss)— Title is inappropriate in context; most comparable characters are known without their title, as is she in most literature —Imc 12:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Certificate authority → Certification authority —(Discuss)— While "certificate authority" is common, "certification authority" is the more correct (cf. "registration authority", not "register authority"). "Certification authority" is the term standardized by X.509. —Ant 09:47, 8 January 2007 (UTC) --Ant 09:38, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Klee → Klee (band) —(Discuss)— article on Paul Klee is older, has 7x as many edits, 15x more articles link to him, and he is in 24x as many languages —Aaronbrick 09:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Côte d'Ivoire → Ivory Coast —(Discuss)— For the plethora of usual reasons listed at the talk page. —  AjaxSmack  08:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Maluku Islands → Moluccas —(Discuss)— per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). —  AjaxSmack  08:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Sulawesi → Celebes —(Discuss)— per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). —  AjaxSmack  08:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Amyl alcohol → Pentanol — Obsolete trivial name; Pentanol should not simply redirect to 1-Pentanol. —Slashme 07:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Madonna (entertainer) → Madonna (performer) —(Discuss)— Concerns have been raised at the talk page about the connotations of "entertainer". Other suggestions have included Madonna and moving the disambiguation page, Madonna (artiste), and Madonna (singer/actress). ShadowHalo 03:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC) —ShadowHalo 03:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

7 January 2007

• Newark Arena → Prudential Center —(Discuss)— The Devils' owner has announced that a deal with Prudential has been reached. [1] This needs to be done by an admin, since an article called Prudential Center already exsists, previously redirected to Prudential Tower. Milchama 22:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Button mushroom → Cultivated mushroom —(Discuss)— Button mushroom is the name for only one stage of sale of this widely sold mushroom, similar to Portobello is another stage. Cultivated mushroom covers all stages and is the preferred name of the Birtish Mycological society —Cas Liber 19:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC) Cas Liber 19:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Mikołaj of Ryńsk → Nikolaus von Renys —(Discuss)— unsourced Polish POV, German name is sourced — Matthead ^discuß!     O       18:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Timeline of trends in music from the United Kingdom --> British music per time periods or something else. - It is mainly the "Timeline of trends" bit I'm not happy with. The article is not really a timeline, and is not particularly about trends. Pretty much all the pages linked from it are pretty old, and doubtlessly the information therein is duplicated elsewhere on Wikipedia. Maybe this is a merge job, I'll ask WP:MUSIC to see what they think. --Montchav 18:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Vertigo → Vertigo (disambiguation) —(Discuss)— the medical article is the most likely target —(John User:Jwy talk) 18:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Vertigo (medical) → Vertigo —(Discuss)— the medical article is the most likely target —(John User:Jwy talk) 18:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Crossrail → London Crossrail —(Discuss)— Alrady 2 other crossrails - Edinburgh and glasgow (proposed). This one coves London. I am also proposing turning Crossrail into a disambguation page —Simply south 16:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Shtime → Štimlje —(Discuss)— Move from the Albanian name to the Serbian one, to reflect common English usage, as illustrated in the "Sources" sub-section of the discussion. —Evv 21:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Relisting. —Mets501 (talk) 16:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• West Hampstead railway station → West Hampstead railway stations —(Discuss)— I just want to be on the safe side and have this as a provisional name, also there is more than one station here. Hopefully this should not turn out like the last one until this is much nearer the tie. —Simply south 18:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Assume this is allowed to be relisted. Simply south 16:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Custom House station → Custom House DLR station —(Discuss)— Now only seved by the Docklands Light Railway, at least until Crossrail is opened —Simply south 16:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Hackney Central → Hackney, London —(Discuss)— It is actually called Hackney. This is also a common name —Simply south 16:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Prypiat, Ukraine → Pripyat, Ukraine —(Discuss)— Pripyat appears to be by far the most common spelling. It gets 302,000 Google results vs. 25,600 for Prypiat, and it gets 6 vs. 1 for Google News (the single result is a video game site reporting on a video game and the two other sites reporting on the game use the other spelling). The BBC, Der Spiegel and a Ukraine TV website in the Google News results all use the Pripyat spelling. I did not include links because the urls are so big that they mess up the editing box. The searches can easily be repeated. The BBC usually uses the Pripyat spelling. A search of its site gives 107 vs. 5 unique results. Finally, the website for the town is http://pripyat.com, although I do not know if it is official. —Kjkolb 11:55, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• RUB → Rub —(Discuss)— better disambiguation —Johnbibby 08:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Checkuser → Wikipedia:Checkuser —(Discuss)— pages about the project and internal links should not be in the main namespace Brian | (Talk) 07:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC) —Brian | (Talk) 07:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Lucky ☆ Star → Lucky Star (manga) —(Discuss)—— In accordance of WP:NC#Special_characters and WP:UE, the use of non-Latin alphabets in article names is not allowed. Since the ☆ is merely stylistic, it should be removed. --Samuel Curtis^{Shinichian-Hirokian}-- _{TALK·CONTRIBS} 06:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Template:Mozilla Software → Template:Mozilla projects —(Discuss)— Template also includes non-software (eg XUL. "Projects" is a more appropriate description than "Software". The same word is also used on the official mozilla.org projects list, on which this template is based. —John Seward 04:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• South Bay (San Jose, California) → South Bay (San Francisco Bay Area) —(Discuss)— The South Bay is a region of the San Francisco Bay Area. The only relation of the South Bay to San Jose is that it just happens to be one of the cities within the South Bay area. This rename would bring the South Bay page in line with the North Bay (San Francisco Bay Area) and East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area) pages —Andrewn 02:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• We ♥ Katamari → We Love Katamari —(Discuss)— Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Special characters and Wikipedia: Naming conventions (common names) say special characters (like ♥) should be avoided. It's also difficult for some users to see. —TJ Spyke 01:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Mt. Spokane High School → Mount Spokane High School —(Discuss) Abbreviation as above —"J-M" (Jgilhousen) 20:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• List of gay porn stars → List of male performers in gay porn films —(Discuss)— While these things are mentioned in the description of the list, they are often missed and cause confusion and the addition of names that shouldn't be on the list: 1. The performers aren't gay, the films are; 2. It's a list of performers ("stars") in films, not webcam models, etc.; 3. The list is of males. While there may be females in gay porn films, this list doesn't include them, and should say so; and 4. Ultimately, this is about "scope creep", the list needs to be more readily defined than it is currently. —20:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)—Chidom ^talk 

• Grand Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang → Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang — (Discuss) — Grand Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has a much longer edit history than Xiao Zhuang Wen and should be moved to the proper title of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. --Neo-Jay 19:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Fantaserye → Telefantasya —(Discuss)— Stubborn editors used cut-and-paste (a very bad thing) method to undo my rename. "Telefantasya" 14,000] is more popular than "fantaserye" . --Howard the Duck 17:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC) —--Howard the Duck 17:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Brussels-Capital Region#Names survey -- This is a survey for which names the articles for the municipalities in the region of Brussels should have. The region is officially bilingual, French-Dutch, and several of the municipalities have different names in French and Dutch. In the first part of this survey, a majority was found in favour of using one single name. In the second part, which will run until 13 January, a method and criteria for choosing the names will be discussed. The articles in question are given below, with their present titles. -- Markussep 15:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Woluwe-Saint-Pierre - Sint-Pieters-Woluwe (French-Dutch)

• Sexual_intercourse → Vaginal_intercourse —(Discuss)— The current article indicates that "sexual intercourse" only refers to penile-vaginal intercourse. This exclusive usage is in violation of NPOV, as it has heteronormative bias. This usage also defies Merriam-Webster's dictionary definition of sexual intercourse; which lists several acts as forms of sexual intercourse [2]. The proposal is to rename the article "Vaginal intercourse", because that is the specific act to which the article exclusively refers. The move would allow for a disambiguation page at Sexual intercourse, which would list each of the acts which can be described by the term. —Joie de Vivre 15:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Spinning Dragons (roller coaster) → Spinning Dragons —(Discuss)— There is no article called Spinning Dragons, so I don't see why the current article name needs to be disambiguated. —CarrotMan 14:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Done. Recury 20:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Foxy Brown (1974 film) → Foxy Brown (film) —(Discuss)— Page was originally moved when a remake was planned to go into production. The remake has since been cancelled. There is no other film with the title "Foxy Brown." —Ibaranoff24 12:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Xiao Zhuang Wen → Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang —(Discuss)— Fitting of theme, (see Empress Dowager Cixi) and imperial names do not have a space between them —Colipon+(T) 05:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• American Liberalism → Liberalism in the United States —(Discuss)—The article is concerned solely with Liberalism in the US, while American Liberalism would imply to those from other parts of the Americas that the article deals with liberalism in both continents. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 04:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Ivan Duknović → Giovanni Dalmata —(Discuss)— To reflect common English usage, as required by Wikipedia's naming conventions. Examples of usage can be found in the talk page, in the "Simple tests" and "Books" sub-sections. —Evv 04:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Death cap → Amanita phalloides —(Discuss)— Scientific names are preferential for article titles, especially in articles like this one about a single discrete species. —Peter G Werner 02:08, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• List of Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis games → List of Sega Mega Drive games - It was agreed sometime ago that Mega Drive should be the default term however I've just noticed this article is inconsistant and follows the old style.--Josquius 15:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • It was never agreed, but the article was moved anyways. TJ Spyke 02:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
    • There was a Requested move that said otherwise. Ingorning the result is not very productive. --70.48.109.24 05:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Inertial confinement fusion → Inertial confinement fusion (beams) —(Discuss)— No one wants to move the page because "inertial confinement fusion" is the term usually used for lasers or ion beams. But there are actually several other types of fusion that are also "inertial confinement fusion", including z-pinch, acoustic inertial confinement, inertial electrostatic confinement, and so on. I'm not a physicist, but I think Inertial confinement fusion should be a summary of all the various types and general concepts, and the article currently at that name should be moved to a more descriptive title. — Omegatron 21:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

• KISS (band) → Kiss (band) —(Discuss)— The full capitalization of band names is at odds with WP:NC and WP:MOS-TM. I have refrained from requesting the moves of related articles for now, given the vast number of them. These moves should become uncontroversial, if this one finds approval. —Cyrus XIII 21:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

• Tiffin Boys' School → Tiffin School —(Discuss)— Correct name of school; there is no such place as Tiffin Boys' School. Present page is an unnecessary DMB that can be replaced by a DAB. —TerriersFan 17:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

• Michael Leeroyall Evans → Mike Evans (basketball) —(Discuss)— Mike Evans has never gone by the full name "Michael Leeroyall Evans", and there is apparently no other basketball-related individual named Mike Evans. Why was this moved? FYI: The same editor who moved this also moved a whole lot of other "Mike Evans". --Downwards 01:05, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

• Monarchy in Ontario → Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario —(Discuss)—
  • Monarchy in Ontario → Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario
  • Lieutenant Governor of Ontario → Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario
  • Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada → Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario
  • Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada → Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario
  • Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario → List of Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario

We should move Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario to List of Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario, as that article is clearly a list. I would also like to do this move because Monarchy in Ontario is more appropriately named Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, which also redirects to Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario. "Monarchy of Ontario" is pretty much an article about the "Lieutenant Governor of Ontario". I have not listed this as an "uncontroversial" move because the edit summaries for these articles seem to indicate a number of disputed manual moves. In fact, once "Monarchy of Ontario" is moved to "Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario" and "Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario" becomes "List of Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario", the other articles only need their re-directs changed. —Agent 86 00:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

• INSEE → National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies —(Discuss)— Two reasons. The first is that it is an initialism and we generally don't use those for naming articles per WP:NCA. The second is that articles about French stuff on the English wikipedia should be in English, title included, unless the French name is of common use in English. --Bob 23:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC) —Bob 23:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Giorgio Orsini → Giorgio da Sebenico —(Discuss)— The last move request (Dec 26,2006) was from Juraj Dalmatinac → Giorgio Orsini, which has now suceeded, after 4:0 votes cast in the survey. During the discussion above, I gave reasons why I thought Giorgio da Sebenico the better choice, which are further confirmed by the fuller research by User:Evv above. Neither of us voted in the last survey. Opinions expressed passim on this further move by the 4 who did vote are: one for, one against.
  Giorgio da Sebenico is the mostly commonly used name in English, and is used by the preponderance of high-quality reference works. See the full discussion above (on talk page) —Johnbod 22:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Pine Rivers Shire Council → Pine Rivers Shire, Queensland —(Discuss)— The page was recently moved the other way, as I believe a misapplication of a guideline that all Australian LGAs should go at their official name. Some LGAs in NSW, for example Manly Council, have the word "Council" in them, but that is not the case in Queensland; the LGA is a Shire, and "Council" is used to refer to the governing body only. —FiggyBee 07:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

• The Hitchers (band from Limerick) → The Hitchers —(Discuss)— The The Hitchers page originally contained the article now at The Hitchers (band from Limerick). Another article was created, "The Hitchers (band from Teeside)", and "The Hitchers" changed to a disambig between the two. The Teeside band article was successfully prodded, and the Limerick band article survived an AfD. The information on the Teeside band has been merged with the Limerick band article. I think that it would be more sensible to rename the only current article ("band from Limerick") back to "The Hitchers", but we need to retain the edit history, and we can't do a move while the redirect exists. As I see it, the ideal state of things will be to have the article text at The Hitchers with the edit history that's now at "band from Limerick", with "band from Limerick" and perhaps "band from Teeside" as redirects. —Tevildo 03:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• The Golden Road Box Set → ? —(Discuss)— I don't know what names to up with, but I think it needs a better title than this. It is difficult for average person to type it in, and it is not well-named. —Gh87 02:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment this is the name of the album, as listed at All Music Guide, Amazon.com, ect. However, at the store at dead.net, it is simply The Golden Road Box Set. A WP:REDIRECT from that to this one, or a move to The Golden Road Box Set are two options. Update I have moved it to The Golden Road Box Set as per the official store page with a redirect from the old article. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 02:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

      • As I stated on the article talk page, because it is "difficult to find" is not a valid reason to request a move since this is the official name of the album/box set and conforms to WP:NAME and WP:MOS. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 02:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Metro, Silicon Valley's Weekly Newspaper → Metro Silicon Valley —(Discuss)— Although the masthead includes the descriptive phrase of the former, the paper's actual title as seen at the corporate website appears to be either simply "Metro" or the more specific "Metro Silicon Valley". The latter is recommended to better distinguish from the company's other paper titled Metro Santa Cruz. —-Tobogganoggin ^talk 00:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Dassault-Breguet Mirage 4000 → Dassault Mirage 4000 —(Discuss)— Dassault-Breguet became Dassault Aviation in 1982. Dassault-Breguet can be mentioned in the text, but no reason to make the title longer for a name no longer used. —BillCJ 00:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Dassault-Breguet Mirage 2000 → Dassault Mirage 2000 —(Discuss)— Dassault-Breguet became Dassault Aviation in 1982, about the time the aircraft entered production. Dassault-Breguet can be mentioned in the text, but no reason to make the title longer for a name no longer used —BillCJ 00:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• The Fake Sound of Progress → The Fake Sound of Progress (song) —(Discuss)— There are three works by Lostprophets which use this title: the single (which occupies the non-disambiguated page), the album, and the EP. —Will ^{(Because you're filthy, ooh, and I'm gorgeous)} 21:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Yoshi Topsy-Turvy → Yoshi's Universal Gravitation —(Discuss)— The subject of the article is known as "Yoshi's Universal Gravitation" in all but the American market, for which it was released last. The article existed originally at Yoshi's Universal Gravitation before a user created a dupicate article at Yoshi Topsy-Turvy citing unilaterally that "no one is going to search for Yoshi Topsy-Turvy", something which I absolutely disagree with. This is similar to the Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive scenario, where everywhere bar North America knew it as Sega Mega Drive —hahnchen 20:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC) - hahnchen 20:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Liturgy of the hours → Liturgy of the Hours —(Discuss)— There may be liturgies of the hours that have been composed on private initiative; but this article is not about them: it is about the official liturgical rite of the Latin Catholic Church; such liturgical rites are usually capitalized, e.g. Anointing of the Sick —Lima 20:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:What is a featured picture? → Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria —(Discuss)— Even thou Wiafp is probably common place by now, I feel that the title should reflect that it's a page defining the criteria than to ask a question —_→AzaToth 17:47, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Anthony Stewart Head → Anthony Head —(Discuss)— The actor is more often credited as the latter than the former. The disamb at Anthony Head should be removed and a line placed in the actor page, stating that there is also a dead Viscount by the same name —81.145.241.220 17:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• FSN New York → Fox Sports Net New York —(Discuss)— Although the onscreen designation has since 2004 has been FSN instead of Fox Sports Net, that doesn't change the name of the network. Milchama 19:47, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

• Tax protester → Tax protest in the United States —(Discuss)— This and the articles listed below all deal exclusively or almost exclusively with these phenomena in the United States and should be titled accordingly. —  AjaxSmack  06:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

• Antitrust → Competition law —(Discuss)— "Antitrust" is exclusively a U.S. term; "competition law" is the international term. —RBBrittain 13:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

• Heroes of Might and Magic III → Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia —(Discuss)— The history of this is a bit complicated, but a general overview is available on the relevant talk page. In brief, User:Frecklefoot moved it from the longer title (the official release name of the title) to the shorter title. Certainly, Frecklefoot didn't do anything inappropriate, but looking over the history, it's not at all clear that there was real consensus: the previous RM attracted little attention, so the page was not moved back, but the preponderance of comments on the talk page seem to support the original, longer title, with Frecklefoot's being the only consistent voice to the contrary. The game is part of a series, and the other titles in the series are not abbreviated in the same way. – Sean Daugherty (talk) 19:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC) —– Sean Daugherty (talk) 19:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

• Bulletproof vest → Body armor —(Discuss)— The term "bulletproof vest" is a misnomer. The article name should reflect the correct name of the item. To give a related example of how bad this is, calling body armor a "bulletproof vest" is like calling a magazine a "clip". —207.67.146.243 00:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

• Animal Forest → Dōbutsu no Mori —(Discuss)— Dōbutsu no Mori is a transliteration of the Japanese, while Animal Forest is a translation. Notes: This move has already happened once, and been reverted since it was done abruptly without discussion. I currently oppose the change. Discussion for this move will take place at Talk:Animal_Forest/proposedmove. —TStein 11:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
