Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

• To list a technical request: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

  {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}

  This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
• If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
• If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests

• Gareth Edwards (disambiguation) → Gareth Edwards (move · discuss) – Malplaced disambiguation. Natg 19 (talk) 04:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

• Yun Gwan (currently a redirect to Yun Kwan) → Yun Kwan (move · discuss) – Per WP:NCKO, pre-1945 Koreans titled via McCune-Reischauer Romanization. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 08:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

  @CountHacker WP:NCKO says to use go with the common usage in English sources. The two English sources in the article (Reuters and NYTimes) both use "Yoon Gwan". Of course, that said, Google ngrams doesn't even have data for anything other than Yun Kwan. --Ahecht (TALK
  PAGE) 20:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

  Did you try searching in Google Books? There are plenty of hits for Yun Kwan there. As seen here: [1], [2][3], [4], [5], [6]. WP:NCKO states that if there is an established common name, it should be used. However, in this case, there is no established common name, so the McCune-Reischauer — Preceding unsigned comment added by CountHacker (talk • contribs) 23 April 2024 (UTC)

• Forwarding plane (currently a redirect to Data plane) → Data plane (move · discuss) – Per Special:Permalink/1220546934#Requested move 17 April 2024. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 01:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

• Jitendra Singh (politician, born 1971) (currently a redirect to Bhanwar Jitendra Singh) → Bhanwar Jitendra Singh (move · discuss) – Commonly used full name, that will remove the need for the unnecessary excessive disambiguation present at the moment. MrMkG (talk) 00:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @MrMkG I don't know too much about how Indian names/titles work, but only one of the sources in the article uses Bhanwar Jitendra Singh, while most just Jitendra Singh or Shri Jitendra Singh seem more common. --Ahecht (TALK
  PAGE) 14:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  It's like a first first name, if that makes sense. Some people have it. Shri is a honorific like Mister. Only two of the sources in the article are independent news sources and Bhanwar is used by one of them. News sources commonly use Bhanwar so that he doesn't get confused with another Jitendra Singh who is an active politician. Even if it were less used which it isn't, it would still be more accessible without the disambiguation (who knows birth years?). MrMkG (talk) 22:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

• Modern Standard Arabic → Modern Arabic (move · discuss) – Modern Arabic is not standard Arabic, but rather an extension of Classical Arabic, so the title must be transferred to Modern Arabic. أرمز (talk) 12:25, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

MSA is the standard and common name; Modern Arabic contains various variations. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 12:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

No, but it is not standard. Normative means that it takes a standard for deducing rules, but this is not true. Classical Arabic is the one that takes a standard for rules. أرمز (talk) 13:16, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

If you want something from me, please tag me. I am on the Arabic Wikipedia + I am not fluent in English. Please search carefully to verify my words. أرمز (talk) 20:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

@أرمز: This move is potentially controversial, so it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 23:21, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Where do I place the request? أرمز (talk) 04:53, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

You can click "discuss" above, which will start a discussion on Talk:Modern Standard Arabic '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 05:05, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

• Virginia Housing Development Authority (currently a redirect to Virginia Housing) → Virginia Housing (move · discuss) – Organization rebranded in 2020 and has since been referred to by its new name in a number of independent reliable sources: https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/local/virginia/1-million-grant-application-open-for-habitat-for-humanity-of-virginia-affiliates/291-42986215-8d0c-4742-95bb-6c02193474cb, https://www.virginiabusiness.com/article/virginia-housing-ceo-to-retire/, https://www.wtkr.com/news/affordable-housing-apartment-complex-opens-in-norfolk Joshuabriere (talk) 19:59, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

@Joshuabriere This request was already contested at Talk:Virginia Housing Development Authority#Requested move 4 March 2024. --Ahecht (TALK

I am aware. This is an update based on conversations after that discussion was closed. Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:BarrelProof#Re:_Talk:Virginia_Housing_Development_Authority Joshuabriere (talk) 17:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

• Cretan School (currently a redirect to Cretan school) → Cretan school (move · discuss) – Use sentence case title. Not usually capped in sources. Not the kind of school that is a proper name. Dicklyon (talk) 19:27, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

  Not what appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME in the sources:

  1. Valianou, Lemonia; Wei, Shuya; Mubarak, Mohammad S.; Farmakalidis, Helen; Rosenberg, Erwin; Stassinopoulos, Stergios; Karapanagiotis, Ioannis (February 2011). "Identification of organic materials in icons of the Cretan School of iconography". Journal of Archaeological Science. 38 (2): 246–254. doi:10.1016/j.jas.2010.08.025.
  2. "Cretan School | Art UK". artuk.org.

  What sources show that the MOS:AT understanding would be correct? microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 00:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

  Book n-gram stats show that capitalization is not nearly consistent. Dicklyon (talk) 04:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

• EcoCute (Japan) → EcoCute (currently a redirect back to EcoCute (Japan)) (move · discuss) – I can't move this but this is an unnecessary disambiguation. Cleo Cooper (talk) 06:34, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

There was a consensus to merge EcoCute to Air source heat pump. I have redirected the recreation at EcoCute (Japan) of EcoCute to that target as well. There can be a discussion on Talk:Air source heat pump about how much info should be included there (or seeking a new consensus to split it back into a separate article).
