Revision as of 05:37, 23 May 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 are not for:
Before you begin, please note that requested moves are 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 on categories for deletion (yes, deletion).
- Image move requests
- To rename an image, re-upload the image with the name you want, and then change the relevant links to reflect the new name, and then list the old image on 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
In the following, replace PageName with the name of the page to be moved; NewName with your proposed name; and reason for move with some text explaining your proposal.
Step 1: Add the request to the list on this page | ||
a. | To aid the administrators, add a line with the day's date on it directly under the heading of the Current proposals subsection, if it has not already been added for this day. The line should look like: Using today's date as an example: ===[[11 June]] [[2024]]=== | |
| ||
b. | To enter a request for a single page to be moved to a new name, add the following two lines at the top of the section under the date line (the second line consists of four hyphens) :
A handy way to do this is to write the following on an empty line:
| |
| ||
c. | Include the page's name in your edit summary. Save this page. | |
| ||
Step 2: 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 think a page should be moved, but don't yet know what name it should be given, you can use | ||
| ||
Step 3: 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. The reason for move should be copied from the entry on the WP:RM page:
==Requested move== ===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 – then update the article's text to reflect the article's new title. For example, if the article were at Blah Blah, but should be at Blah blah, then if the opening sentence began "Blah Blah is a...", you would update it to "Blah blah is a...".
Current proposals
Please list new proposals at the top of today's section (June 11) in the format described above. Actual discussions should take place on the listed talk page, not here.
23 May 2006
- Liancourt Rocks → Dokdo ... Rationale: should be named as called by the controlling state, to be consistent with other disputed territory article titles; dokdo is also far more common in english than liancourt. Talk:Liancourt Rocks Appleby 05:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- Polish Biographical Dictionary → Polski Słownik Biograficzny … Rationale: 'Polski Słownik Biograficzny' was the original title of the article. This work has never been translated into English and it's current name is unofficial, original research. It is also confusing as there is, in fact, a different English publication with almost the same title (The Polish Biographical Dictionary). Note also that almost all references to this publication on Wikipedia use the Polish title, thus in effect over 90% of the links to the article in the current version go through redirects. Please share your opinion at Talk:Polish Biographical Dictionary. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 03:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- Atmospheric models → Standard atmosphere models … Rationale: atmospheric models are just not waht is described inside current article. Atmospheric models are numerical weather or climate models describing how the atmosphere moves, NOT the verticla structure of the atmosphere. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Atmospheric models. Pflatau 04:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
22 May 2006
- Ukrainian Plast → Plast — most common usage of the term, matches with the original Ukrainian article, and the current Plast disambig page has been renamed as a disambig page. — Talk:Ukrainian Plast — Chris 22:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- WikiTeX → Wikipedia:WikiTeX … In the article space, this seems little more than promotional, but the content could be useful to keep in project space (continued at Talk:WikiTeX). 81.104.165.184 22:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Highlander: There Can Be Only One → Highlander (film). It appears the subtitle to the movie was added in order to have a seperate page for the complete Highlander series and the first Highlander film. I have moved the former to Highlander (series) and think the latter should be moved into the spot previously occupied by that article. Iodyne 21:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Popcorn (2006) → Popcorn (film) … Rationale: Per WP naming conventions. There is a redirect page at Popcorn (film) which redirects to Popcorn (Ben Elton), so I can't move it without an admin. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Popcorn (2006). Her Pegship 19:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Västerås Airport → Stockholm-Västerås Airport … Rationale: For consistency with other Swedish airport articles, this should be in the form "City-AirportName" … Please share your opinion at Talk:Västerås Airport. Dbinder 16:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Summary of first countries that introduce TV → Timeline of the first regular television broadcasts by country … Rationale: The wording of the article name is incorrect. The name suggested is one of several names being discussed at the article's talk page. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Summary of first countries that introduce TV. Andrew 10:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Andrew 10:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- VOIPBuster → VoipBuster … Rationale: The official name is VoipBuster, see http://www.voipbuster.com/en/index.html Just rename of the artical … Please share your opinion at Talk:VOIPBuster. --Avdkooij 08:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Barbas, the Demon of Fear → Barbas (Charmed) … Rationale: The character's name is Barbas; The Demon of Fear is his title. There is currently a redirect at Barbas (Charmed) and a disambig page at Barbas. All other Charmed characters requiring disambiguation have articles under the name XXX (Charmed). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Barbas, the Demon of Fear. —MiraLuka 06:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Haircut → Hairstyle … Rationale: Hairstyle redirects to Haircut. Hairstyle is the more general of the two terms. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Haircut. Pastafarian Nights 06:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Berserk (manga) → Berserk … Rationale: Berserk redirects to Berserk (manga). No need to disambiguate. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Berserk (manga). Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 05:30, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Io moth → Automeris io … Rationale: the moth is not common enough to use the common name and multiple moths share the characteristics of having large hind eyespots. It will simply confuse most people. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Io moth. --Kugamazog 04:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Loren → Loren (Animorphs) … Rationale: likely to be multiple people with this name. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Loren. Lkjhgfdsa 00:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ric Romero (investigative reporter) → Ric Romero … Rationale: Second page on disambig (Ric Romero (engineer)) was prod'ed. This is the only notable Ric Romero and as such the page needs to be moved back and edit history merged. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Ric Romero (investigative reporter). Calwatch 00:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thema → Theme (Byzantium) … Rationale: The common term in English. Please share your opinion at Talk:Thema. --Macrakis 01:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
21 May 2006
- Inheritance Trilogy → Inheritance (trilogy) … Rationale: "Inheritance" is the actual name of the trilogy, so "trilogy" basically just states what "Inheritance" is. "Trilogy" is NOT part of the actual title, so it's in brackets for ID purposes only. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Inheritance Trilogy. —G.He 21:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Khafra → Khafre in Encarta and EB that's the way
- Elizabethan era → Elizabethan Era ... Rationale: Era should be capitalized in the title, since it is like that in the article. Plus it is part of the name. Please share your opinion at Talk:Elizabethan era JONJONAUG 17:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Gilo (neighborhood) → Gilo … Rationale: most queries directed here … Please share your opinion at Talk:Gilo (neighborhood). TewfikTalk 14:48, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Airport Tunnel → Kai Tak Tunnel … Rationale: The road is gazetted to be renamed from Airport Tunnel to Kai Tak Tunnel, as per statements on the article. However as Airport Tunnel remains the most common name used by people in Hong Kong, discussion is necessary. --Deryck C. 14:45, 21 May 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Airport Tunnel. Deryck C. 14:45, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz → Alphabet (disambiguation) … Rationale: This is a merge request. The merge was proposed by User:Matt.Hoy. No specific reasoning has been stated for the merger, and discussion would be useful. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 13:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 13:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Race and IQ Scores → Race and intelligence — so as to revert yesterday's unilateral page move by User:Elliott Small, which enjoys no support among the editors of this page. Arbor 07:45, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- (This has been discussed some at Talk:Race_and_IQ_Scores#i_don.27t_know_how_to_fix_this_now.)--Nectar 08:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Dreaming Aloud (book) → Dreaming Aloud — no need to disambiguate — Talk:Dreaming Aloud (book) — Conscious 07:24, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Template:Welcomeanon-meta → Template:Welcome-anon – … Rationale: Welcome-anon is basically broken and serves little purpose because instead of being a stand-alone template, it is (for reasons unknown) a transclusion portal to the meta template which is, except for a clunky parser function (which, on a separate front, should be changed to mimic the code in {{Welcomeip}}, identical to the meta template.
- What this means is that when you attempt to substitute welcome-anon, instead of substituting the template as intended, the template changes to the other. Another words, when you type {{subst:welcome-anon}}, the result is not substitution but a change of the code to {{welcomeanon-meta}}. However, because you are no longer in edit mode, what you see is the template's text, and since it is the same, there's nothing to indicate that the template wasn't successfully substituted. The only way you would know it's still transcluding (hasn't successfully substituted) is if you click edit again and, if you're like me, see the new and unsubstituted template link, scratch your head and say, "huh?".
- Thus, the present role of welcome-anon serves no purpose but to confuse and deceive, and taxes resources by requiring two edits where only one should be necessary. More problematically, it also leaves behind an unsubstituted template whenever someone doesn't go back into edit mode and discover the mess. The author of both these templates is no longer active, so it is not possible to inquire why they were produced in this manner. The reason I have proposed the move in the direction I have, is that Welcome-anon appears, by my anecdotal observation, to be used far more often than is the meta template.… Please share your opinion at Template talk:Welcomeanon-meta. --Fuhghettaboutit 06:08, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Geelong, Victoria → Geelong … Rationale: -- Zondor 05:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Geelong, Victoria. Zondor 05:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- WADL-TV → WADL (TV) … Rationale: FCC-assigned callsign is WADL CoolKatt number 99999 02:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Christ (title) → Christ ; someone tried to make this move via copy+paste, so now we can't do it with the move function without the help of an admin. Clinkophonist 00:28, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- This someone was User:CrazyInSane, who was undoing his earlier unilateral move (ie, he made the initial move without either discussing it or listing it here first). The effect of the move was that between 1000 and 1500 articles (see Special:Whatlinkshere/Christ suddenly pointed to a redirect, which was then edited to a disambig page. Because of that edit, CrazyInSane could not simply move the page back, but neither did he seek the help of an admin. Because of all these edits and moves since May 12, we do require an admin to sort this out. Arch O. La Grigory Deepdelver 00:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- I deleted "Christ" and moved "Christ (title)" back to the empty space. However, I'm not sure what I should do about the edits that were made to "Christ" between the original move and my restoration of it. There are now 21 deleted edits in the article history, and 21 in the talk page history. Should I resore them as well so that they become part of the history? AnnH ♫ 00:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Alkyl nitrites → 'Nitrite inhalants; about one year ago the articles under these titles were merged and Nitrite inhalants is now a redirect to Alkyl nitrites. The article deals with alkyl nitrites as a recreational drug, that is it deals with poppers. The proposal is to reserve Nitrite inhalants for use of alkyl nitrites as a drug and have Alkyl nitrites as an article on the chemistry. History would need to be merged. Dr Zak 02:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Common Broom → Scotch Broom … Rationale: Google search reveals that "Common Broom" is not the most common name for this plant. Because of difficulties determining how common "Broom" is for the plants name in a google search, I proposed a move to "Scotch Broom", a term that is well-known. However, "Scotch Broom" is used mostly in its invasive range, while in its native range it's known as simply "Broom," leading to a conflict. Either way, "Common Broom" is not the most common name, which is why options and opinions are encouraged for this requested move. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Common Broom. Rkitko 05:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
20 May 2006
- Anticroatian sentiment → Anti-Croatian sentiment … Rationale: Other titles are like this: Anti-Bosniak sentiment (rather that Antibosniak sentiment). Rockie21
- Lieutenant Governors of Ontario → List of Lieutenant Governors of Ontario … Rationale: Naming convention (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Lists) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Lieutenant Governors of Ontario. Ardric47 21:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Bonecruncher (computer game) → Bonecruncher … Rationale: unambiguous title being specified as a redirect because it was originally incorrectly created as Bonecrusher … Please share your opinion at Talk:Bonecruncher (computer game). JHunterJ 21:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Bauer, Inc. → Nike Bauer … Rationale: this company is now known as Nike Bauer … Please share your opinion at Talk:Bauer, Inc.. 216.167.244.113 21:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Philip Cocu → Phillip Cocu … Rationale: Proper first name is Phillip, see Dutch wikipedia … Please share your opinion at Talk:Philip Cocu. Intangible 20:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sachsenring (circuit) → Sachsenring … Rationale: The Sachsenring race track is part of the worldwide MotoGP circus, while the company Sachsenring AG is rather unknown, so Sachsenring (disamb) will do. Also, A Wikiproject for motorcycle racing is likely to produce many links to Sachsenring … Please share your opinion at Talk:Sachsenring (circuit). Matthead 20:17, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- History of the world → Human history … Rationale: Much less ambiguous, and makes the distinction with History of Earth much clearer. Also less colloquial and vague; "the world" is an abstract phrase that can refer to many different things, not just to the human species. "Human history" also gets over twice as many hits as "history of the world" on Google. — Talk:History of the world — Silence 20:07, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Argus Corp. → Argus Corporation Ltd … Rationale: The company's legal full name is Argus Corporation and is registered as a Limited company. Talk:Argus Corp.. Jscarle 19:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Once In Your Life (Desperate Housewives episode) → Remember (Desperate Housewives episode) — The page was originally called Once In Your Life (Desperate Housewives episode). Sfufan2005 moved it to Remember? (Desperate Housewives episode), but the episode doesn't have a question mark in it — Talk:List of Desperate Housewives episodes — Cheater1908 18:16, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- United States → United States of America … Rationale: The page should be at United States of America, because that is the United States's real name. Vote for this move at here (ending 00:00, May 27, 2006 UTC). — Brendenhull 17:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Patrick Martinez (French Artist) → Patrick Martinez … Rationale: The page was previously at Patrick Martinez, but that was changed to a dab page featuring only the French artist and a speedied vanity page. This is just to undo that move. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Patrick Martinez (French Artist). Pak21 16:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Counter Strike → Counterstrike (musical group) … Rationale: Official name Counterstrike … Please share your opinion at Talk:Counter Strike.Куллер 15:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Moved to Counterstrike (drum and bass group); Counterstrike disambiguation page updated. Hope that's okay. David Kernow 19:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Chinese classic texts → Chinese Classical Texts: Its better moving into this topic which is simliar to Chinese wiki. Talk:Chinese classic texts. Eiorgiomugini 14:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- This editor moved the page to a new and incorrect title without consulting other editors; he also made a series of unexplained and unsourced changes and additions. When he was reverted, and I explained to him the problems, he ignored me, simply trying to revert to his version. His title is incorrectly capitalised, and less accurate English. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:59, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Asian racial discrimination … Rationale: The title is ambiguous, and one can't tell whether the Asians are doing the discriminating or receiving the discrimination. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Asian racial discrimination. -- T.o.n.y 13:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Amended to {{moveoptions}}. David Kernow 19:16, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Omega Shenron → Yi Xing Long — "Yi Xing Long" is the original name & all of the other pages of Evil Dragon in Dragon Ball use the original names & not the names used by FUNimation in thier dub. — Talk:Omega Shenron — Linkdude20002001 10:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Politics of Canada → Government of Canada — I can't find any discussion of this in the history or talk archive, but the title of this article is misleading. Government of Canada (which redirects to this article) seems to be the more accurate title. This article is more about the governmental structure and organization of the country. "Politics of Canada" implies, to me at least, that the article is about the various political parties and movements in Canada, which in many ways is an entirely different thing. Such a title seems more to be in the spirit of something like the article on Politics of British Columbia. In fact, the only reason I ended up at Politics of Canada is because I was searching for articles on governmental structure and organization, not party politics. — Talk: Politics of Canada — Fluit 04:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Drinking Song → Drinking song … Rationale: This isn't a proper noun, and is capitalized this way in the first sentence. The other is just a redirect here from a move on May 5 … Please share your opinion at Talk:Drinking Song.Rigadoun 02:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Converted to {{capitalmove}}. David Kernow 19:23, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- The x → The X … Rationale: This is a disambiguation page, all items on which relate to the phrase 'The X', none of which relate to the phrase 'The x'. Currently, The X redirects to The x. … Please share your opinion at Talk:The x. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Marburg (Australia) -> Marburg, Queensland , Talk:Marburg (Australia) like others in Queensland Tobias Conradi (Talk) 23:50, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- [Anthony Gatto, composer] -> Anthony Gatto … Rationale: This should be a Discussion, not an Article … Needs a Disambiguation page Anthony Gatto is the name of:
- Moved to Anthony Gatto (composer), added dab headers to both pages. Composer entry is almost solely edited by User:Agatto. WP:AUTO? ~ trialsanderrors 05:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- [[1]] -> Culper Ring … Rationale: It currently leads to redirect for the 'Culper Ring (comics)' article from when the concept of the group was used as a plot element. It makes sense for the original historical group to have the main article rather than a comic-book that referenced it years later. MagicBez 05:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Date Rape -> Date rape. The title should not be capitalized. The correct title (Date rape) now redirects to Rape, completely avoiding the appropriate article.Daniel Šebesta (talk • contribs) 18:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Converted to {{capitalmove}}. David Kernow 19:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
19 May 2006
- User:Petard91\Henry_Sibley_High_School → Henry Sibley High School … Rationale: It's location was just temporary until it is complete and should now be moved where searchers can find it … Please share your opinion at [[Talk:User:Petard91\Henry_Sibley_High_School]]. Petard91 00:18, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Efrata → Efrat ... Rationale: It is self-identified as such, and is mirrored on Hebrew Wikipedia. Talk:Efrata. TewfikTalk 23:43, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Edward's syndrome → Edwards syndrome … Rationale: The current title is incorrect, as the syndrome was first described by John H. Edwards.—Herbee 23:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Door stop (furniture) → Door stop … Rationale: Better title. Single dominant usage of this term. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Door stop (furniture). Srleffler 22:02, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Archbishop Tenison's C of E High School → 'Archbishop Tenison's C of E Schools' … Rationale: Page refers to 2 current schools and 2 past schools and links to new pages that refer to the current schools, therefore the page should be in plural form. Selhurst 18:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology → Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology … Rationale: The word "Science" in the official name of the institute should be in singular form, not plural. In other words, the name of the institute in the original article is wrong. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology. Dakelv 17:12, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- XIN → Xin (comics) … Rationale: to be brought in line with Xin (disambiguation), to which the current name will redirect … Please share your opinion at Talk:XIN. AfroDwarf 16:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Golden billion → The golden billion … Rationale: to be more consistent with the rules of the English grammar (the term seems to be a direct translation from Russian) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Golden billion. Crocodealer 09:40, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Christian rap → Christian hip hop … Rationale: It needs to be moved back for continuity. — Phantasy Phanatik | talk | contribs 07:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- California Wine → California wine … Rationale: Move over redirect, to conform to MOS. … Please share your opinion at Talk:California Wine. Calton | Talk 02:31, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- David Alfaro Siqueiros → David Alfaro Siquieros … Rationale: His last name is spelled incorrectly. (This also needs to be fixed throughout the article, as well as in the Spanish language Wikipedia.) … Please share your opinion at Talk:David Alfaro Siqueiros. Ieke85 01:46, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Are you sure? Quick googling tells me no. ~ trialsanderrors 01:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Census in Canada/Temp → Census in Canada … Rationale: replace page tagged with possible copyvio … Please share your opinion at Talk:Census in Canada/Temp. Robocoder 15:38, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
18 May 2006
- The Horned Rat → Horned Rat … Rationale: Wikipedia style for initial word "the"; cf. White House. The page currently at Horned Rat was merged into The Horned Rat today, so that page has an edit history. --Quuxplusone 23:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ceorl (Middle-earth) → Ceorl … Rationale: No other page named "Cerol". --Ted87 22:57, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Guy III, Count of Sant-Pol → Guy III, Count of Saint-Pol … Rationale: Typo, a page (rd) already at place preventing move … Please share your opinion at Talk:Guy III, Count of Sant-Pol. Waimea 22:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Darklegion Gaming Community → Dark Legion (Gaming Community) … Rationale: The name Darklegion should be Dark Legion. We meant it as two words not one. The clan name itself is called Dark Legion and we are a Gaming Community as well. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Darklegion Gaming Community. Gforcebond 19:27 , 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sunstorm (Stephen Baxter) → Sunstorm (novel) … Rationale: I moved it from Sunstorm (novel) but I shouldn't have as Stephen Baxter is not the only author. This should be non-controversial … Please share your opinion at Talk:Sunstorm (Stephen Baxter).
KelleyCook 21:03, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Eng (letter) → Eng … Rationale: Might as well be at the simpler name, since at the moment it's just a redirect. Probably uncontroversial. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Eng (letter). Ptcamn 19:05, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Juan de Tassis y Peralta, Count of Villamediana → Juan de Tassis y Peralta, 2nd Count of Villamediana … Rationale: He was the second count of the comital family of Villamediana … Please share your opinion at Talk:Juan de Tassis y Peralta, Count of Villamediana. Gryffindor 17:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche → Ferry Porsche … Rationale: He is widely known as Ferry, to distinguish him from his father. Currently, a mess of Ferdinand juniors and seniors (or even senior) are used in the article. See also German wikipedia … Please share your opinion at Talk:Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche. Matthead 16:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- WSRT → 'WSRT_radio ' … Rationale: The Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope is also called WSRT so there should be a possibility to choose for either of both options at WSRT. Ygrange 14:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Galatasaray → Galatasaray SK … Rationale: Because the full name is Galatasaray SK (short for Sports Clubs in Turkish) Metb82 16:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ayaan Hirsi Ali → Ayaan Hirsi Magan … Rationale: The real name should be the article name and all the other names should be redirected to it. In this case Ayaan Hirsi Magan is the real name. Mokotok 07:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Anyone considering performing this move is strongly encouraged to review this article's history: Ayaan Hirsi Ali (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) prior to doing so. Netscott 07:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- That would be... somewhat controversial and premature. That and I don't like Requested Moves, and it's not policy, guideline, or essay anyway. :-) Before we do any moves, let's let the officials decide what her name actually IS first :-P Kim Bruning 20:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Launch game → launch title … Rationale: The term launch game is not used at all, whereas launch title is used by everyone in the gaming industry & press. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Launch game. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 03:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- José María Queipo de Llano Ruiz de Saravia, Count of Toreno → José María Queipo de Llano Ruiz de Saravia, 7th Count of Toreno … Rationale: There were multiple Counts of Toreno, he was the seventh one. … Please share your opinion at Talk:José María Queipo de Llano Ruiz de Saravia, Count of Toreno. Gryffindor 02:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Begum Inaara → Begum Inaara Aga Khan … Rationale: better to add "last name" to make article more specific and avoid confusion with any other Begums … Please share your opinion at Talk:Begum Inaara. Gryffindor 00:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Orewa speech → Orewa Speech … Rationale: To match article text. Unfortunately I created a redirect so I have to ask here... ··gracefool |☺ 00:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász lattice reduction algorithm → Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász lattice basis reduction algorithm … Rationale: The basis is reduced, not the lattice. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász lattice reduction algorithm. Nuesken 17:24, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

- Bill McGowan (Baseball Umpire) → Bill McGowan … Rationale: A new user has shifted the page even though all the links are for this person; user also created Bill McGowan (disambiguation), which should be sufficient for distinguishing between Bill and William G. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Bill McGowan (Baseball Umpire). MisfitToys 23:13, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Albert Förster → Albert Forster … Rationale: The guy's name was Forster, not Förster. See the the interwiki links for reference. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Albert Förster. Young Pioneer 22:37, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse → Ernest Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse … Rationale: He is far more well known as Ern(e)st Ludwig. In most any royalty book that has not been completely Anglicized, he is know as Ern(e)st Ludwig, never as Ern(e)st Louis. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse. Morhange 22:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- John Foster → John Foster Jr. (architect) … Rationale: There are a lot of pages (well quite a few!!) that link to this page and I suspect that an awful lot of them either should be linked to his father (John Foster Snr) or are for a completely different set of 'John Fosters' altogether … Please share your opinion at -- / (talk) David Humphreys 03:40, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thích Quảng Đức → Thich Quang Duc — There is not and never has been to my knowledge a consensus to use diacritics for Vietnamese names. It looks bizarre in English. — Talk:Thích Quảng Đức — Nat Krause(Talk!) 21:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Andres Bonifacio → Andrés Bonifacio … Rationale: To use correct (short version of) name. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Andres Bonifacio. David Kernow 19:40, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- BBC → British Broadcasting Corporation — renamed — Talk:BBC — Ronald20 19:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Metropolian Katowice → Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union … Rationale: Apparently this is the correct name. The article itself seems to be a copy of Katowice, only slightly adapted, and claims that this union of cities which doesn't even exist yet is actually a city of its own. And 'metropolian' is not an English word anyway. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Metropolian Katowice. ulayiti (talk) 16:36, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Pashtun people → Pathans — Page is about Pathans and Pashtuns is actually a term incorrectly used whereas Pashtuns mean Pashtu speaking people so correct name here would be Pathans as the article covers comprehensively Pathans — Talk:Pashtun people — AliKhan007 14:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- The James Gang (wrestling) → New Age Outlaws … Rationale: "The James Gang (wrestling)" has no Google results, New Age Outlaws has 64,800. The latter term is less ambiguous and is by far the better known term. … Please share your opinion at Talk:The James Gang (wrestling). McPhail 14:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Joe Cole (footballer) → Joe Cole - Rationale: Checking the "what links here" on Joe Cole, most of (if not all) of the incoming links are to do with the (soccer) footballer, and not the groupie. He's one of the best players in England, and although I'm British and therefore may be a bit POV on this one, I find the footballer to be more deserving of the Joe Cole page than the groupie. See Talk:Joe Cole --Dangherous 11:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
President of the Government (Spain) → Prime Minister of Spain … Rationale: This debate was already held last year, and it was decided the page should be at "Prime Minister of Spain" as this is the common usage in English. It has since been moved by User:Cantus with no accompanying debate, and a null edit made to the redirect page ([2]) to prevent an ordinary user moving it back. … Please share your opinion at Talk:President of the Government (Spain). SteveRwanda 10:05, 17 May 2006 (UTC)Speedy un-re-renamed. James F. (talk) 23:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Grandfather clock → Longcase clock — The term "longcase" predates "grandfather" and is more generic, as all longcase clocks are not grandfathers (there are grandmother clocks which are smaller for instance). The term "longcase clock" is used by horologists, clockmakers, etc. This request folows on from a renaming dispute; someone had proposed it to be moved, I agreed and moved it, then someone else moved it back. The usual story, I suppose. I think that the article should be under the more accurate general name, and that the redirect should be from the later popular name to that. — Talk:Grandfather clock — Evertype 09:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Tribal wars →
Finnic Kinship Warsor Heimosodat … Rationale: "Tribal wars" is a translation mistake. There is not common English name and heimosodat is Finnish term… Please share your opinion at Talk:Tribal wars. Kahkonen 08:59, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Pronunciation respelling → Pronunciation spelling … Rationale: Latter term is both more standard and more generic. The previous reverse move was apparently to be consistent with Pronunciation respelling for English. I have not requested a move for that as that name is more defensible; it relates only to dictionary-key respelling rather than pronunciation spelling more generally. However, consistency of names between the two pages is misleading, unneccessary and deficient. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Pronunciation respelling. jnestorius(talk) 08:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Constituent Countries → Constituent countries … Rationale: "Constituent countries" is not a proper noun. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Constituent Countries. Mais oui! 08:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- The Transit Kings → Transit Kings … Rationale: The correct artist/band name is without the leading "The". On releases and the label website never appeared a leading "The" in the artist/band name. … Please share your opinion at Talk:The Transit Kings. Schika 06:05, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- System X (disambiguation) → System X … Rationale: no need for (disambig) when there's nothing at the main article … Please share your opinion at Talk:System X (disambiguation). Rory096 05:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- If On a Winter's Night a Traveler → If on a winter's night a traveler … Rationale: The title of the book actually only has the first word capitalized and the redirect has 2 history entries for some reason. … Please share your opinion at Talk:If On a Winter's Night a Traveler. PFlats 04:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
East kentwood high school → East Kentwood High School … Rationale: This is the name of a school and therefore should be capitalised all the way as opposed to only the first letter of the first word. … Please share your opinion at-- SMalbasa5 / (talk) 00:30, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Done. David Kernow 03:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
John Foster → John Foster Jnr (architect) … Rationale: There are a lot of pages (well quite a few!!) that link to this page and I suspect that an awful lot of them either should be linked to his father (John Foster Snr) or are for a completely different set of 'John Fosters' altogether… Please share your opinion at -- / (talk) David Humphreys 03:40, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- KHMT-TV → KHMT … Rationale: FCC-assigned callsign is KHMT CoolKatt number 99999 02:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States → 9/11 Commission … Rationale: As per common name rule. Even the commission uses 9-11commission.gov as its URL, most links seem to go to 9/11 Commission and there is already an entry 9/11 Commission Report, etc. … Please share your opinion at Talk:National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. trialsanderrors 01:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Inukshuk → Inuksuk … Rationale: There is no 'h' sound in the Inuktitut language. "Inukshuk" is a common typo. This article in other language as well as on the wikimedia commons all use "inuksuk". … Please share your opinion at Talk:Inukshuk. -- Sy / (talk) 00:07, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

- Wrestle Zone wrestling → Wrestle Zone Wrestling… Rationale: at first thought to be an article with a lowercase first letter problem (wZw) but now realise it should be capitals for each word --- Paulley 19:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- The Dog Whisperer → Dog Whisperer … Rationale: The correct title of the show does not use the word "The". … Please share your opinion at Talk:The Dog Whisperer. --Elonka 18:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Green tax shift → Ecotax … Rationale: Closest approximation to the original German Ökosteuer, it also seems the predominant form in Europe. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Green tax shift. trialsanderrors 18:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Fird Eaglin, Jr. → Snooks Eaglin — according to the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) the most used name to refer to a person is generally the one that Wikipedia will choose as page name. Since Eaglin's real name (Fird Eaglin) is nowhere to be found (not on album titles, not in concert announcement, reviews, etc.) the page should read 'Snooks Eaglin' (see my Snooks Eaglin discography at http://www.wirz.de/music/eaglin.htm). see other blues artists pages, i.e. Scrapper Blackwell (real name: Francis Blackwell), Furry Lewis (real name: Walter Lewis), Lazy Lester (real name: Lester Johnson), and, and, and ... — Talk:Fird Eaglin, Jr. — StefanWirz 16:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

- Arnulf, Archbishop of Rheims → Arnulf, Archbishop of Reims … Rationale: Seems fairly clear cut - all other articles spell the place Reims, including the main article (Reims) plus Archbishop of Reims · Adalberon, Archbishop of Reims · Notre-Dame de Reims etc. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Arnulf, Archbishop of Rheims. SteveRwanda 08:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Reverse amazon → Reverse cowgirl … Rationale: Far more common -- see comment on Talk:Reverse amazon. More to the point, Google gives 321,000 results for "reverse cowgirl" vs. 1,330 for "reverse amazon" (many, if not most, of which are WP mirrors). --zenohockey 04:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Alternative reality game → Alternate reality game … Rationale: Requesting a move back to original title without redirect to Alternative Reality Game. The original page was relocated to Alternative Reality Game without warning or reason. There is general, universal acceptance of the term Alternate Reality Game. … Please share your opinion at Talk: Alternate reality game . argjamesi 04:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- My Antonia → My Ántonia … Rationale: Requesting a move to title with correct diacritics. … Please share your opinion at Talk: My Antonia . Muchness 02:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm the one who originally put the articles under the accent-less title, and I have no objection to this page move. I don't think any discussion is required, but an admin has to delete the page currently at My Ántonia for the move to take place. | Mr. Darcy talk 02:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:San Francisco Garter Snake → Talk:San Francisco garter snake — I'm not even going to put the whole straw poll / discussion thing on the talk page as this should be a speedy move if ever there was one. The article is at San Francisco garter snake, but the talk page is still at Talk:San Francisco garter snake (note capitalization difference). Obviously, the two should be together. joturner 01:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

- For Those About to Rock We Salute You → For Those About to Rock — While the song is commonly known as For Those About to Rock (We Salute You), it is not appropriate for the album, For Those About to Rock.

- Leo I Dwarf Galaxy → Leo I (dwarf galaxy) — latter name follows more closely the typical Wikipedia article naming style (cf. Leo II (dwarf galaxy); the existing redirect page has edit history. — JyriL talk 18:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Vote at:Talk:Leo I (dwarf galaxy)

- Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791 → Constitution of May 3, 1791 … Rationale: Polish-Lithuanian would be more correct, but is not used. As most sources skip the nationality adjective altogether, there is currently a consensus to drop it from our article as well. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 15:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Assyrian people → Arameans, Assyrians, Chaldeans and Syriacs … Rationale: although these four groups overlap and share the majority of their culture of language with each other, many do not like the term Assyrian and find it too politicized. I am requesting the move to a more neutral title. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Assyrian people. Gareth Hughes 12:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:User_physicist → Template:User_quantum … Rationale: I created Template:User_physicist in the style of Template:User_mathematician before I found out that User_Physicist existed. I changed the userbox to be for quantum physicists, but thus it needs to be moved and I only got my account today. Thanks! … Please share your opinion at [[Talk:Template:User_physicist]].TauNeutrino 01:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

- The Goo Goo Dolls -> Goo Goo Dolls This is the official name of the band; the word "the" is merely used to gramatically refer to the plural band name. —Akrabbimtalk 00:47, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Social Progressive Alternative -> Socialist Party - Different. It has been moved but falsely: both the dutch wiki and the its own page clearly point to Socialist Party - Different instead of Social Progressive Alternative, as it's official name. C mon 08:40, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
