Revision as of 16:00, 13 September 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.
- 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.
Current proposals
13 September 2006
- IPA (disambiguation) → IPA … Rationale: IPA currently redirects to International Phonetic Alphabet, but IPA more often refers to something other than the alphbet., so it's better to have the dab page at IPA. … Please share your opinion at Talk:IPA (disambiguation). — Karnesky 16:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Template:London stations → Template:London stations layout … Rationale: Not to confuse it with Template:LondonStations which is a completely seperate template. It is confusing to go to the right template. … Please share your opinion at Template talk:London stations. — Simply south 15:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Radoslav Nesterović → Radoslav Nesterovič … Rationale: Radoslav Nesterović's edit history goes back to 11 August 2005 - please preserve it, rather than the duplicate Radoslav Nesterovič, which was created 19 March 2006. You'll see that its edit history is full of arbitrary changes and not worth keeping (unless it is salvageable). Can an admin move the older page to the title of the newer page whilst keeping the history? … Please share your opinion at Talk:Radoslav Nesterović --203.214.22.65 12:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Gatineau, Quebec → Gatineau … Rationale: Gatineau already redirects to Gatineau, Quebec, and the name is unique so there is no risk of confusion with another city or town. The proposed move is consistent with the Canadian naming convention ("Places which either have unique names or are unquestionably the most significant place sharing their name, such as Quebec City or Toronto, can have undisambiguated titles"), and is in line with recent moves of Canadian cities such as Lethbridge, Saskatoon, Edmonton, etc. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Gatineau, Quebec. — Skeezix1000 11:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Enriched ranium → Enriched Uranium … Rationale: I was trying to move Enriched uranium to Enriched Uranium page but it moved to Enriched ranium. Please correct this error.nids(♂) 08:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Enriched ranium. — nids(♂) 08:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I tried to fix this by hand but it appears to need admin intervention. Georgewilliamherbert 08:40, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- This should be reverted to Enriched uranium ASAP. I see no reason to move to Enriched Uranium - that needs to be debated. -- Beardo 08:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Fine. But do that ASAP. I though U should be capital as it is the name of an element.nids(♂) 09:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- I fixed it. No, you don't automatically capitalize the name of an element (not in English anyway). --Fastfission 11:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- The Second Coming (TV drama) → The Second Coming (TV serial) … Rationale: "(TV serial)" is correct according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television); after a brief discussion earlier this year, that was agreed to by a consensus of editors, with no opposition, until this week when it was unilaterally moved to "(TV series)" and then "(TV drama)" with no discussion, by a user. He has not responded to a request to restore it; I suspect he's unable (as am I) since the correct name now has a non-empty history. … Please share your
12 September 2006
- Herero and Namaqua Genocide (is currently named Herero and Namaqua Wars, was moved in August without any discussion nor consensus - because of a move war started by User:Maria Stella, it is now impossible to revert her controversial move) Lapaz 21:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC) (PS: a poll has been done and most users support "Herero and Namaqua Genocide"; see Talk:Herero and Namaqua Genocide - Note that Maria Stella has deleted warnings on her talk page, claiming it was "trolling"; they have not been restaured) Lapaz 21:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- There is no consensus to use the POV title, on the contrary. Also note that Lapaz is refusing to participate in discussion of his edits. The article should for the time being stay where it has been for quite some time now. Anyone interested in solving the dispute may join discussion at Talk:Herero and Namaqua Wars. Maria Stella 09:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Two moves, however both must be completed together.
Rationale: All other planets are not disambiguated in the title (eg. Venus not Venus (planet)) Mercury should be made consistant
Please discuss at Talk:Mercury--GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 20:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Itihasa → Hindutva Itihasa … Rationale: The content of the article is religious information of Hindutva. So, it will well suit to the title 'History of Hindutva' (Hindutva Itihasa) and not 'Itithas'. This is because the current title Itihasa is simple translation of word History and artcle with title Itihasa or History shall not be so narrowly defined. Talk:Itihasa. — raszu. 13:35, 12 September 2006 (PST)
- Hexblade → Hexblade (Dungeons & Dragons) … Rationale: To conform with the nomenclature of the other articles in this Catagory … Please share your opinion at Talk:Hexblade. — mordicai. 18:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Warmage → Warmage (Dungeons & Dragons) … Rationale: To conform with the nomenclature of the other articles in this Catagory … Please share your opinion at Talk:Warmage. — mordicai. 18:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Harald I of Norway → Harald Fairhair … also:
- Rationale: Almost always known by a cognomen, so per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) article should be so named. Google books results overwhelmingly favour Harald Fairhair, Harald I results usually referring to Harold Harefoot rather than the subject of this article. Much the same for the others although Harald Sigurdsson aka Hardrada suffers from multiple variations of Hardrada/Hard-Ruler … Please share your opinion at Talk:Harald I of Norway. — Angus McLellan (Talk) 17:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Simon the Sorcerer 2 → Simon the Sorcerer II … Rationale: This is the correct name for this game … Please share your opinion at Talk:Simon the Sorcerer 2. — Mika1h 17:06, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Aeroplane (Song) → Aeroplane (song) … Rationale: Proper caps … Please share your opinion at Talk:Aeroplane (Song). — -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 14:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- If You Have To Ask → If You Have to Ask … Rationale: Proper caps … Please share your opinion at Talk:If You Have To Ask. — -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 14:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Paddington railway station → Paddington station … Rationale: In order to revert previous split of article Paddington station into Paddington railway station and Paddington tube station without losing article history and in line with consensus developed on talk page. Three steps needed (1) This move (2) Revert moved article to revision id 74213323 (3) Revert the tube station article to revision id 16040944. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Paddington railway station. — Chris j wood 12:45, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Jeremy Osbourne → Jeremy Usbourne … Rationale: Misspelt sitcom character name. Would be a simple move, but the article has already been moved and moved back once. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Jeremy Osbourne. — McGeddon 12:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Intel Core 2 → Core 2 … Rationale: All other Intel microprocessor articles except for this article and Intel Core do not include "Intel" in the article title. Intel Core must include the word "Intel" in order to disambiguate it from Core, but Intel Core 2 -> Core 2 has no such restriction (Core 2 is presently a redirect to Intel Core 2). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Intel Core 2. — jgp TC 06:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- It Takes Two (Australian television) → It Takes Two (Australian TV program) … Rationale: As per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television) … Please share your opinion at Talk:It Takes Two (Australian television). — Chuq 08:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Holy Magic Century → Quest 64 - Rationale: The game has two different English versions, "Holy Magic Century" in Europe, and "Quest 64" in the States. From what I have seen on the Internet, it is more well known as Quest 64, and the American version was in fact released before the European version. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Holy Magic Century. - Master Deusoma 18:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
11 September 2006
- Toe Jam & Earl → ToeJam & Earl … Rationale: Correct spelling of the name, target is currently a redirect back to the current page … Please share your opinion at Talk:Toe Jam & Earl. — TJ Spyke 03:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Tarot→ Tarot (divination) … Rationale: Current page title conveys subtle bias favoring "occultic" definitions concerning "Tarot" and may not be NPOV. In keeping with NPOV, neither the "occult" definition nor the game historian's definition of "Tarot" should be favored … Please share your opinion at Talk:Tarot—
- Beşiktaş J.K. → Beşiktaş JK … Rationale: Per other Tukish team … Please share your opinion at Talk:Beşiktaş J.K.. — Matt86hk talk 00:22, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- White And Black Blues → White and Black Blues … Rationale: Proper capitalization … Please share your opinion at Talk:White And Black Blues. — -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 22:56, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Pulp Fiction → Pulp Fiction (film) … Rationale: tthe article Pulp Fiction and Pulp fiction points to two different page. The slight capitalization can cause confusion. The former is about a movie that takes its name from the latter. This also conforms to Wikipedia film title naming convention. Therefore, IMHO, the latter takes precedence over the former. I tried moving the article to the latter but it got reverted. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Pulp Fiction. — F3-R4 21:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Grand Strand (South Carolina) → Grand Strand … Rationale: Disambiguated for an article about a television show that was deleted. There are no other Grand Strands in wikipedia anymore, and the page should be the disambiguation page. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Grand Strand (South Carolina). — Kevin_b_er 21:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yin Yang Yo! → Yin Yang Yo- Rationale: In the official title of the show it is not called Yin Yang Yo!, but just Yin Yang Yo, and I think the article would be easier to locate if it was Yin Yang Yo. Share your opinion at Talk:Yin Yang Yo!
- Who Knew (song) → Who Knew … Rationale: Who Knew used to be a disambig, but it's not anymore, so the article can now be moved back to its earlier name … Please share your opinion at Talk:Who Knew (song). — Filip (§) 19:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Bots → Bots (band)… Rationale: There several articles that people might look up under Bots, not just this band. I think we should move it and create a disambiguation page. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Bots.- --Twintone 15:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Massimiliano Papis → Max Papis … Rationale: Almost always referred to as Max, by far the more commonly used name. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Massimiliano Papis. — Recury 14:56, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Eric I of Norway → Eric Bloodaxe … Rationale: Eric Bloodaxe (even discounting the hacker) wins overwhelmingly on Google books. Even Encarta use Eric Bloodaxe. Most results for plausible searches on Google books find a different "Eric I", Eric of Pomerania. Seems obvious and uncontroversial but the target has an edit history so it isn't a trivial move. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Eric I of Norway. — Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Leigh Delamere → Leigh Delamere services… Rationale: Should be moved in line with names of articles for other service stations. I don't have the "move" tab at the top of my pages for some reason, so I can't do this myself … Please share your opinion at Talk:Leigh Delamere. — Mr WR 11:20, 11 September 2006 (UTC)- Moved. David Kernow 14:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Cardiff west services → Cardiff West services … Rationale: Incorrect capitalisation; Cardiff West services already exists as a redirect to Cardiff west services … Please share your opinion at Talk:Cardiff west services. — Mr WR 11:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Arsim, The Ars → Arsim … Rationale: Correct pagename shouldn't have the strange statement at the end. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Arsim, The Ars. — 68.39.174.238 02:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Hiram abrams → Hiram Abrams… Rationale: capitalization … Please share your opinion at Talk:Hiram abrams. Inane Imp 01:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)- Converted to {{capitalmove}}. David Kernow 01:42, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Aushilfe Gesucht → Talk:Help Wanted– Apparentlly someone moved the talk page. It needs to be moved back. -AMK152 01:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)- Done. Eugène van der Pijll 16:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Tiesto → Tiësto … Rationale: Page is not correctly named … Please share your opinion at Talk:Tiesto. — Sander 13:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Pascal → Pascal (unit) … Rationale: to make room for disambiguation page … Please share your opinion at Talk:Pascal. — Markus Kuhn 21:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Pascal (disambiguation) → Pascal … Rationale: The pressure unit is not unambiguously most clearly associated with the name Pascal (there is also the programming language, for instance), therefore the disambiguation page should take over … Please share your opinion at Talk:Pascal (disambiguation). — Markus Kuhn 21:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
10 September 2006
Rationale: There are two California Polytechnic State Universities so they should each have city attached to name. (See discussion: Talk:California Polytechnic State University#Renaming to be less ambiguous) --MarsRover 00:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
--There are not two "California Polytechnic State University" campuses at all. One school--San Luis Obispo--is called "California Polytechnic State University", and the other--Pomona--is called "California State Polytechnic University". Notice the difference? The city names are not in the official names of either university. In fact, when both campuses were granted CSU status, their names were set up as they are today to prevent confusion among the campuses. Thus, this move is inappropriate. --Anonymous User: 67.169.80.113
-- Good point with the reversed order of the words. If you have references of the founders setting it up that was to avoid confusion might be good for the article.
But I am sure you have noticed there still is confusion. Two campuses in the CSU system with same common name "Cal Poly" with about the same number of students. That why people keep puttin "SLO" or "San Luis Obispo" after "Cal Poly". Since neither campus has the city in the official name and they are basically sister schools lets be consistant and put the city after both. At first glance I though someone setup a master article about both schools.
(If anybody replies to this I moved this discussion to the talk page)
--MarsRover 04:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- iPod Nano → iPod nano … Rationale: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks) page says "Lowercased trademarks with internal capitals do not need to be capitalized if the second letter is capitalized". The trademark is "iPod nano", the second letter is capitalized. The page should never have been moved. … Please share your opinion at Talk:iPod Nano. — AlistairMcMillan 00:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Fire + Water → Fire + Water (Lost) … Rationale: Making titles consistent with other episodes in Category:Lost episodes … Please share your opinion at
Talk:Fire + Water. — Elonka 21:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oldale Town → Odale Town Mispelling, discuss at Talk: Oldale Town. 24.121.73.22 23:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Bozen-Bolzano → Bolzano (city) and
- Abtei-Badia → Badia
- Natz - Schabs-Naz - Sciaves → Naz-Sciaves etc. etc. The proposal is to move all municipalities in South Tyrol to their Italian names. See Talk:Bozen-Bolzano for discussion. Markussep 20:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Broly → Broli Consistant naming with other Dragon Ball Movie villans which all use the Japanese name for the character, not the English. Takuthehedgehog 19:29, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Jupiter-C (rocket) → Jupiter-C … Rationale: Unnecisarry Disambiguation (over redirect with history) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Jupiter-C (rocket). — GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 16:28, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Tau Boötis Ab → Tau Boötis b … Rationale: While the Ab designation is not strictly incorrect, the planet is referred to far more often as b rather than Ab. Google searches "tau boo ab" vs "tau boo b" and "tau bootis ab" vs "tau bootis b" bear this out. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Tau Boötis Ab. — Chaos syndrome 21:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- Chili con carne → Chili … Rationale: By far the most common term for this. Also, there are types of chili that don't contain meat. Voortle 12:54, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sega Dreamcast → Dreamcast … Rationale: Like the PlayStation, Xbox & Wii, and unlike all of Sega's previous consoles, the Dreamcast logo makes no mention of the manufacturer's brand name (in this case, Sega). Also, "Dreamcast" on its own returns substantially more Google hits (52,800,000) than "Sega Dreamcast" (9,220,000). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Sega Dreamcast. — Lumina83 09:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ahnentafel of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom >> Ancestry of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom or (my preference) Ancestry of Queen Elizabeth II This is a perfectly straightforward genealogical table and does not require an obscure piece of German jargon in its title (the term Ahnentafel has some currency among specialists but is not in the OED and is unknown to most educated readers). It is being pushed by one person who refuses to budge. I request that the article be restored to its original title and locked there. Adam 08:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- This matter has now been dealt with. Thanks. Adam 08:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Wooler, Northumberland → Wooler. Was moved to make way for an apparently orphan article for a motorcyle manufacturer. The town is more notable. Saga City 04:25, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel → The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel … Rationale: According to the principle of self identification. On the official website it's called "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel"[1] - Please share your opinion at Talk:Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. // Liftarn 07:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Confederations Cup → FIFA Confederations Cup … Rationale: per FIFA World Cup, the full official name should used … Please share your opinion at Talk:Confederations Cup. — Matt86hk talk 12:35, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

- NGC 4649 → Messier 60 Consistent naming with other Messier objects. WilliamKF 18:18, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- Accie Connor → D'Lo Brown … Rationale: Ring name used consistently for the past nine years. "Accie Connor" returns 106 Google hits, "D'Lo Brown" returns 82,400. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Accie Connor. — McPhail 00:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Anna David to Anna David (journalist) or something. There is a Danish singer with the same name, www.annadavid.dk 84.219.27.58 22:11, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sega Game Gear to Game Gear ... Rationale: Relisting as no real consensus was formed last time. (UTC)
- Church of Christ to Church of Christ (Campbellite) ... Rationale: "Church of Christ" should be a disambiguation page; there is already a quite long disambiguation section at the head of the article, in addition to Church of Christ (disambiguation). Making this page about a particular religious movement that claims this broad term as its name may not be NPOV. Please share your opinion at Talk:Church of Christ. - Smerdis of Tlön 20:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Harry Potter 7 (book) → Harry Potter seven (book) … Rationale: It is with conforming to accepted styles of writing numbers that the number '7' be written as "seven". … Please share your opinion at Talk:Harry Potter 7 (book). — clearthought 19:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Qazvin (city) → Qazvin … Rationale: City is main topic, others are secondary derivatives. Mukadderat 18:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Old Norse language → Old Norse … Rationale: as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (languages), there's no need to disambiguate. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Old Norse language. — Blisco 16:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- The Suite Life of Zack and Cody → The Suite Life of Zack & Cody ... Rationale: The show's actual title is The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and the page move wasn't contested on Talk:The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. A mistaken user botched the move with a copy/paste job, but I undid it so an administrator could properly move the page to maintain the Talk page and the article history. - Debuskjt 16:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- User:Some P. Erson/User GA → Template:User GA … Rationale: not part of WP:GUS, should be back where it was in Template: … Please share your opinion at [[Talk:User:Some P. Erson/User GA]]. — kenb215 15:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Note: This move is not controversial. The redirect back is simply obstructed.
- Shangwen Fang → Cat abuse incident in Neihu … Rationale: I suggest to move this article because:
- The result of the merge voting of zh:內湖虐貓事件(means "Cat abuse incident in Neihu") and zh:方尚文(means "Shangwen Fang") on zh-wp is to merge into zh:內湖虐貓事件. To move this page to Cat abuse incident in Neihu will make the article mapping between en/zh WP more precisely.
- This article describes the cat abuse incident more than Fang himself.
Also I do not think it's good to reveal someone's personal data on WP if the person is not a famous one (however, some might disagree). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Shangwen Fang. — H.T. Chien / 眼鏡虎 (Discuss|Contributions) 13:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel → Nobel Prize in Economics … Rationale: "Nobel Prize in Economics" is the name that majority of people most easily recognize when it comes to this prize. Google search for "Nobel Prize in Economics" gives 294.000 results and for "Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" 62.300 results. Also, linking to this article is made difficult because of such long name. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. — -- Vision Thing -- 13:11, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Alternative - Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel → The Prize in Economics - to shorten the title, and this is how the Nobel Foundation refers to it. Please share your opinion at Talk:Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. -- Beardo 04:47, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
-- Vision Thing -- 13:11, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Economic history of Britain → Economic history of the United Kingdom … Rationale: I believe more than half of this article, as it now stands, outlines the economic history of the United Kingdom. This article should be renamed Economic history of the United Kingdom as per Wikipedia convention of Foo by country, and the relevent information be split into a new Economic history of Britain article. In other words, copy the info from this to a new article (Economic history of the UK) and keep only the relevent info in this one. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Economic history of Britain. — Mal 12:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Păuleşti → Paulesti … Rationale: Unexplained move to a spelling not used anywhere in article itself, mover left behind double redirect from original name to intermediate one so admin intervention needed, and also did not fix indexing sort key. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Păuleşti. — Gene Nygaard 09:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Toure → Touré … Rationale: Article name should match subject's name (with acute). Currently Touré redirects to Toure, but it should be the other way around … Please share your opinion at Talk:Toure. — Colonies Chris 08:03, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Aerocar Aerocar → Aerocar … Rationale: The double name is a convention only used by Wikipedia. The vehicle is the Aerocar, which redirects to this page. There is already a disambiguation page at the top. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Aerocar Aerocar. — — Reinyday, 06:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Chrysler Sebring'
- Chrysler Sebring (coupe) → Chrysler Sebring … Rationale:No need for seperate pages for different body styles of the same car. Pages are for the same car, just different body styles, which can all be rolled into one article and help researching by not using several different articles to look up information. 'Discussion' at Talk:Chrysler Sebring (coupe). Ejfetters 04:48, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Chrysler Sebring (convertible) → Chrysler Sebring … Rationale:No need for seperate pages for different body styles of the same car. Pages are for the same car, just different body styles, which can all be rolled into one article and help researching by not using several different articles to look up information. 'Discussion' at Talk:Chrysler Sebring (convertible). Ejfetters 04:48, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- This request is a merge request and not a move request. It requests a merger of the convertible, coupe, and sedan articles.
- Ford Escort ZX2 → Ford Escort (North American) … Rationale:ZX2 is simply a submodel of the Escort, such as the LX, albeit a more popular submodel, but still a submodel. It is mechanically the same as the Escort. This should be in one article so anyone doing research doesn't have to search different articles for different submodels. It was requested move before, the person just didn't do it the proper way. 'Discussion' at Talk:Ford Escort ZX2. Ejfetters 04:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Pak Beng → Pakbeng … Rationale: Same town, but its only one word, not two, as indicated by Lonely Planet and a Google search. Merger was proposed two weeks ago, seems no reason not to. I want to clean up the article and add a picture, but not until this is resolved. Tried moving myself, had troubles - not controversial. Can take care of the links myself. 'Discussion' at Talk:Pakbeng. --Gregorof 03:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)Did it myself --Gregorof 14:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hurricane Emily (disambiguation) → Hurricane Emily … Rationale: "Hurricane Emily" redirects to the disambiguation page. With this in mind, we might as well cut out the middleman and just place this dab page directly on the "Hurricane Emily" title. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Hurricane Emily (disambiguation). — SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:32, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Allegations of state terrorism by United States of America → Political violence by the United States as per Wikipedia policy: Words_to_avoid#Article_structures_which_can_imply_a_view
A smiliar article Zionist terrorism was changed to Zionist political violence, and the amount of revert wars and contention decreased on this page immensely.[2]
Your opinion will be warmly welcomed at: Requested move. Travb (talk) 00:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
8 September 2006
- Sabu → Sabu (wrestler) … This article was recently moved after discussion, but there are multiple other people under this one name, some of which are of more prominence than the wrestler. See recent discussion on Sabu:Talk. ENeville 22:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Mutually intelligible languages → Mutual intelligibility … Rationale: It's more encyclopedic to use the abstract term while the current title suggests a list. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Mutually intelligible languages. — Dissident (Talk) 21:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Jean Claude Van Damme → Jean-Claude Van Damme … Rationale: Proper name … Please share your opinion at Talk:Jean Claude Van Damme. — Dissident (Talk) 21:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- EELS (band) → Eels … Rationale: Really a move back to where it used to be. No reason for page having been moved. Why? Why would one choose this capitalization? This was totally arbitrary, no consensus, discussion, or conventions cited. … Please share your opinion at Talk:EELS (band). — -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 20:14, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Dame Simbae → Dame Simbai … Rationale: misspelled article name … Please share your opinion at Talk:Dame Simbae. — May the Edit be with you. T-borg (drop me a line) 18:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- This did not need a discussion - and has now been moved by the requester (at my suggestion). -- Beardo 23:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rose (ship) → Suprise (ship) … Rationale: Ship has been officially reregistered by new owners, San Diego Maritime Museum. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Rose (ship). Laylaholic 15:15, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- The proposer has moved it to HMS Surprise (ship) without waiting for further votes. -- Beardo 00:13, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Gyromagnetic_ratio → Magnetogyric_ratio … Rationale: The name "magnetogyric ratio" is that which is recommended by IUPAC - the official worldwide Chemistry body responsible for nomenclature, etc. See: http://www.iupac.org/goldbook/M03693.pdf Wikipedia should be consistent with current usage.
This is primarily because the value is a ratio of magnetic (i.e. spin) / orbital angular momentum and not orbital / magnetic. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Gyromagnetic_ratio. — Ctrwikipedia 09:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ann Dore McLaughlin > Ann McLaughlin Korologos, she uses the surname of of her currently husband, Tom C. Korologos, as opposed to the surname of her former husband, John McLaughlin. See Talk:Ann Dore McLaughlin for details. --TommyBoy 05:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Game over → Game Over and Game over (disambiguation) -> Game Over (disambiguation) … Rationale: The vastly predominant usage is as a title, with either all capitals or all initial capitals. While the usage as an English phrase might suggest a lowercase o, the main and original usage as a specific game screen does not, and the article focus more on the screen than as a phrase in any case. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Game over. — SnowFire 03:04, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Deyá → Deià … Rationale: Deyá is the Spanish name for this Mallorcan village, but the Catalan name is the official name … Please share your opinion at Talk:Deyá. — Rigadoun (talk) 18:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Requested move
- Q magazine → Q (magazine) … Rationale: Q Magazine (in all caps without the parenthesis) is a Melbourne LGBT magazine. The name of the magazine here is just "Q" and nothing else. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Q magazine. — Esprit15d 17:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Ashbury College High School -> Ashbury College The school does not use the term 'High School', and therefore the official name is 'Ashbury College'. The trem College is in fact often used for secondary education estabishments and therefore 'Ashbury College High School' is redundant.
Level of detail (programming) -> Level of detail: Level of detail is simpler and makes more sense; there's no reason for level of detail to redirect to level of detail (programming). "Programming" doesn't even accurately describe LoD -- its more of a generic computer graphics thing. MisterPhyrePhox 01:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- I support the move. It does not seem to lose any information furthermore, newer page versions being worked are just concept-driven, making "programming" something not justified in the title. MaxDZ8 talk 07:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
List of Vaporwares -> List of Vaporware: grammar nazism, words ending in -ware do not have plurals. There are no such words as 'softwares', 'hardwares' or 'vaporwares'.
Elomis 23:49, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Neither page seems to have existed. Someone has moved "List of vaporwares" to List of vaporware. Should we have a redirect in List of Vaporware ? -- Beardo 00:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Backlog
Move dated sections here after 5 days have passed.
7 September 2006
- George, South Africa → George, Western Cape … Rationale: All other South African cities/towns requiring disambiguation do so by province name; existing rd with edit history prevents otherwise trivial/uncontroversial move. … Please share your opinion at Talk:George, South Africa. — Bolivian Unicyclist 22:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Wade Wilson (athlete) → Wade Wilson … Rationale: There is absolutely no reason why a fictional character should take precedence over a real athelete. Appropriate dab notices were already put on both the Deadpool and the Wade Wilson page. The Google Test yields 1.3 million results for "wade wilson football" but only 15,000 for "wade wilson deadpool". … Please share your opinion at Talk:Wade Wilson (athlete). — Hbdragon88 18:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Bexley Hall (Seminary) → Bexley Hall … Rationale: naming guidelines and simplicity; the new name is now vacant but is blocked by a redirect page; there seems to be no GFDL history to save at the redirect … Please share your opinion at Talk:Bexley Hall (Seminary). — Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 17:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Trinity baroque → Trinity Baroque … Rationale: Capitalisation of 2nd word of title needed. 7/Sept/06 1935 Berlin time, JP … Please share your opinion at Talk:Trinity baroque. — Julian Podger 17:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

- Birmingham and Worcester Canal → Worcester and Birmingham Canal … Rationale: Worcester and Birmingham Canal is the correct name for this canal, as used by British Waterways … Please share your opinion at Talk:Birmingham and Worcester Canal. — Starsean 11:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- The Bushwackers → The Bushwhackers … Rationale: Nonstandard (and in my view wrong) spelling … Please share your opinion at Talk:The Bushwackers. — Conniption 10:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Korsnäs, Finland → Korsnäs … Rationale: There is no reason to keep the article at "Korsnäs, Finland" since Korsnäs redirects to "Korsnäs, Finland" and there are no other places known by the name of "Korsnäs" to justify the title "Korsnäs, Finland". The name of the current article is also against normal naming conventions of Finnish cities and municipalities. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Korsnäs, Finland. — TonyM キタ━( °∀° )━ッ!! 15:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- Day care sex abuse hysteria → Day care sexual abuse hysteria … Rationale: simple grammar. The title surely means abuse by sex, not abuse of sex. The target page has always been a redirect, with a few minor edits. Similarly, there is a Wikipedia page sexual abuse, not sex abuse. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Day care sex abuse hysteria. — Eliyak T·C 02:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria → Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria … Rationale: The "2" is an official part of the title, as seen on Square Enix website … Please share your opinion at Talk:Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria. — EmperorBrandon 00:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Iron maiden (disambiguation) → Iron maiden … Rationale: User User:Passive moved Iron maiden to Iron maiden (disambiguation) and created new redirect to Iron Maiden on 15 August 2006 with rationale: most of the time (if not all of it), it's meant as iron maiden the british metal band.. so i'm moving this to Iron maiden (disambiguation) and making Iron maiden redirect to the band's page...). To me, this is like saying Java (programming language) should take the place of Java. The band was named after the torture device, so the torture device has historial precedent. Either the disambig page or the torture device should be at Iron maiden (disambig page looks fine by me), with Iron Maiden staying the band. —pfahlstrom 00:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Dartmouth Jack O'Lantern → Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern … Rationale: The official website uses exclusively the hyphenated form; nothing on the official site seems to indicate that the form with the apostrophe is preferred or even used, now or in the past. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Dartmouth Jack O'Lantern. — Dylan 02:23, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Eric lofholm → Eric Lofholm … Rationale: The L in his last name needs to be capitalized. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Eric lofholm. — shawna 02:23, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

- Guilty as Charged (Extreme Championship Wrestling event) → ECW Guilty as Charged … Rationale: I requested this move as a Capitalization move from ECW Guilty As Charged, but User:Merovingian moved it to this more cumbersome title instead, the current target page is a redirect back to the current page. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Guilty as Charged (Extreme Championship Wrestling event). — TJ Spyke 22:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Rhodesian Man → Homo rhodesiensis – Rationale: non-controversial move to make the page cosistent with other species pages (Rhodesian Man is the name of a particular fossil but the page is about the species), but it is over a redirect that has a small history so I need an admin. This move has been requested before, but no one acted on it and there was no comment other than my own. Please share your opinion at Talk:Rhodesian Man. Nowimnthing 18:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Pornography by region → Production of adult movies by region … Rationale: yes, this is a more cumbersome article title, but the current title is very misleading. The article as it stands is only about videos--not other types of porn; furthmore, its focus is not the content of the pornography itself--it is primarily about the production and distribution thereof. The article is more about commerce, less about arts/entertainment, and the title should reflect this. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Pornography by region. — The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 17:49, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Microsoft Office Open XML → Office Open XML … Rationale: Office Open XML is the name used by Ecma and is increasingly used by Microsoft, et. al. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Microsoft Office Open XML. — 62.178.136.129 09:09, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

- Train of Thought (album) → Train of Thought (Dream Theater album) … Rationale: Train of Thought is both an album by Dream Theater, and an album by Reflection Eternal. I have created the Train of Thought (Reflection Eternal album), and wikipedia naming and disambiguation convention says that the Dream Theater album should be renamed accordingly … Please share your opinion at Talk:Train of Thought (album). — NPswimdude500 01:33, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Roman Catholic Church in Great Britain → Roman Catholicism in Great Britain … Rationale: Most articles in Category:Roman Catholic Church by country have the form Roman Catholicism in foo. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Roman Catholic Church in Great Britain. — Guy 09:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
5 September 2006
- Mercury Music Prize → Mercury Prize … Rationale: The official name of the Prize has been changed, and the article page name should be changed to reflect this. The target page is currently a redirect to the instance page, so a move would require administrator assistance. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Mercury Music Prize. — DJR (T) 22:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

- Rose (ship) → Suprise (ship) … Rationale: Ship has been officially reregistered by new owners, San Diego Maritime Museum. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Rose (ship). — Laylaholic 15:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Proof that 0.999... equals 1 → 0.999... … Rationale: More accurate reflection of content; simpler; less argumentative. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Proof that 0.999... equals 1. — Melchoir 14:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Kingdom of Italy (Medieval) → Regnum Italicum — The parentheticl "medieval" is ugly and should probably not be capitalised, so the artilce ought to be moved anyway. Might as well move it to the "prettier" title, which is just a Latin translation of "Kingdom of Italy" but was the usage of the time.
- Rugby Union Tri Nations → Tri Nations Series … Rationale: The page was originally called Tri Nations Series but was moved without discussion, presumably as an analogy with the Rugby League Tri Nations which is a similarly named competition in a different sport. I accept that this move was not done with malice but it was an error as the correct name for this competition is 'Tri Nations Series'. We have had votes for renaming as 'Tri Nations' and 'Tri Nations rugby union series' but both were inconclusive. We have not had a chance to vote on the original and official name.GordyB 13:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Rugby Union Tri Nations. — GordyB 13:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

- Peter Simek → Péter Simek - The correct spelling of the name [3]. Formally 11:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Secret Garden (disambiguation) → Secret Garden … Rationale: There is already a redirect page called "Secret Garden", created by moving the original "Secret Garden" article to "Secret Garden (duo)". The dab page now needs the "(disambiguation)" removed from its name, thereby replacing the redirect page. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Secret Garden (disambiguation). — Charivari 08:29, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Crusade → Crusades – Proper name for article, as the Crusades are already the topic of the article. Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 08:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Inner Characters → Inner Characters of s-CRY-ed … Rationale: A failed move it seems. The talk page is separated from the main article and is at Talk:Inner Characters of sCRY-ed (the names are different because of a hyphen between the s and c). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Inner Characters. — Squilibob 06:58, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Stuart Alexander Lowe → Alex Lowe … Rationale: Almost universally referred to as "Alex Lowe" (see the "what links here page"). Can't move because the Alex Lowe page has two edits. Discussion at Talk:Stuart Alexander Lowe Jarfingle 07:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
4 September 2006
- Sukhumi to Sokhumi. [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. CIA, National Geographics and all these sources call it Sokhumi. Please move it to the proper link. Sosomk 02:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- King's College (London) DNA Controversy → King's College DNA controversy … Rationale: "Controversy" not typically not capitalized (like Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy) and as there's only one King's College involved in a DNA controversy, I see no reason to add the (London) disambiguation. … Please share your opinion at Talk:King's College (London) DNA Controversy. — Hbdragon88 19:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

- Tsuukin Hitofude → Polarium (GBA) … Rationale: Game has been released under the name Polarium in Europe … Please share your opinion at Talk:Tsuukin Hitofude. — AdamantBMage 14:46, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- The game is called "Polarium Advance" in Europe (I own a copy purchased in Norway - the game's manual is in English as well as other major European languages). Tsuukin Hitofude should be moved to Polarium Advance. --Spug 22:42, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- 269 (West Riding) Battery Royal Artillery (Volunteers) → West Riding Artillery … Rationale: The context of the article has changed from being about the post-1975 unit, 269 (WR) Bty RA(V), alone to the lineage of the West Riding Artillery since 1860. … Please share your opinion at Talk:269 (West Riding) Battery Royal Artillery (Volunteers). — Yorkshire Phoenix God's own county 14:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- The Cheetah Girls 2: When in Spain → The Cheetah Girls 2 … Rationale: Article was created under a working title for the movie which included the subtitle. The final released title of the movie did not contain the subtitle. However, The Cheetah Girls 2 exists and has been edited other than a redirect to the main article, which blocks the move. … Please share your opinion at Talk:The Cheetah Girls 2: When in Spain. — —C.Fred (talk) 14:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Sarah Ewart (Talk) 14:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Numeral system → History of numbers … Rationale: The page title wanders into mathematical material such as continued fractions, the stuff at number system, and applications to computing, whereas the talk page generally supports what's been developed by different cultures historically rather than in modern times (such as fictional systems in computer games, which was stripped), and indeed a lot more can be said than the Western bias of what has been included. The information on positional number systems and change of radix really needs to be on a page of its own anyway; this is a mathematical treatment and does not cover e.g. dual base (5 and 20) or many other cultural inventions. This is a strange mix of the history and an injection of other thoughts. Davilla 09:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Characters of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime → Other characters of Fullmetal Alchemist … Rationale: This page was moved from a predetermined classification of lists in the Fullmetal Alchemist area with no effort what so ever to gain concensus, and the move can not be reversed without an admin. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Characters of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime. — TomStar81 (Talk) 08:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

- WSFL (disambiguation) → WSFL … Rationale: WSFL currently redirects to Web Services Flow Language, which seems not the most common use for WSFL, so it's better to have the dab page at WSFL. … Please share your opinion at Talk:WSFL (disambiguation). — S.K. 17:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

- Popsicle → Ice lollipop … Rationale: As per discussion on Talk:Popsicle. The current article's name is only that of ONE brand name, in TWO countries in North America. The rest of the world do not call it as such. A more generic name should be used, and it is proposed as the original name for the product. No convincing objections to the proposal have surfaced in several weeks (see the talk page).

- Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr → Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr _ Rationale: This is a common mistake with Arabic naming. The correct spelling is ibn Abi and not ibn Abu, as one would first think. It's a grammatical rule, see the MOS. - Cuñado - Talk 05:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- ROH World Heavyweight Championship → ROH World Championship … Rationale:
I personally wouldn't support this move, but I feel it's a discussion that needs to be had.Sans heavyweight would appear to better satisfy WP:NAME. I now do support this move; WP is now the ONLY place, so far as I can tell, that calls the title by this name.

- Doctor Emmett Brown → Emmett Brown … Rationale: Usually, a person's title is not in the page's title. Sure, he is a doctor, but how many other pages are like this? It should be his name in the title and nothing more. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Doctor Emmett Brown. — -Platypus Man | Talk 04:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Educational policies of the European Union → Education in the European Union … Rationale: My reason is very long (see the talk page in question) but mainly consists of the fact that I dispute the validity of the reasons why it was moved to its current location, in the first place … Please share your opinion at Talk:Educational policies of the European Union. — Рэдхот 12:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

- Not exactly a requested move, but the history of what is now List of Czech, Bohemian, Moravian and Slovak Jews appears to be scattered over a number of articles. I can't even sort it out. I asked User:Newport, who has been heavily involved, but I'm afraid he wasn't much help (the issue of cut-and-paste moves was clearly new to him). If someone can sort out & clean up the mess on the history, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 21:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC) --- Done. The article is now at List of Czech Jews, but I have removed the edit history of both redirects, so you should be able to move it to the proper location. Eugène van der Pijll 21:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- William Webb Ellis Cup to → Webb Ellis Cup ... Rationale: There has been some discussion as to what the name of the artivle should be. After seeing that Web Ellis Cup is what is actually engraved on the trophy, I think the page should be there. Is already a redirect, but I want to move the talk page as well, so I think an admin will have to do it. Cvene64 04:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Fort Bliss, Texas → Fort Bliss … Rationale: Unto my experience that United States Army has nevered used "Fort, X, Y" as a way of naming a base, its has always just been "Fort X". To that end I would like the article transfered back to its original page, both to reflect on the correct name of the base and to help bring the article in line the other US Fort articles here on Wikipedia … Please share your opinion at Talk:Fort Bliss, Texas. — TomStar81 03:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
