Article name[edit]

@Randykitty, I renamed Alternatives (journal) to Alternatives: Global, Local, Political (journal) to improve clarity in title on the article page and in the Category:SAGE Publishing academic journals list current. The 'Alternatives' label in the latter seemed rather bare and uninformative. I see you removed the redirect for the Talk page.

Do you disagree with my purpose? Note also two other 'Alternatives' magazines A\J: Alternatives Journal and Alternatives: Turkish Journal of International Relations. The former has no template at the top for alternatives; the latter has a 'distinguish' template]] to Alternatives: Global, Local, Political. Also note Alternatives (which has an 'about' template to "the Canadian environmental magazine" A\J: Alternatives Journal and the asset class Alternative investment.

All I did was tagging the talk page for the Journals Wikiproject, which is something we do standard, so that the project gets informed if, for example, somebody proposes to delete a redirect. Such a tag makes a redirect non-functional, so I removed it. Almost always editors arrive at a talk page via the connected article, which in this case will immediately lead them to the new title and they'll get to the talk page there. A redirect here is not really necessary. Hope this explains. --Randykitty (talk) 09:42, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
