Revision as of 02:34, 3 August 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.
Discussion to find consensus is encouraged for page moves requested on this page. For more information about appropriate reasons in a contentious page move, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions. Page moves take place 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 whose registration was more than 4 days ago. Use 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 discussion.
- 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 today. The line should look like: ===[[5 June]] [[2024]]=== | |
| ||
b. | To enter a request for a single page to be moved to a new name, add the following line at the top of the section under the date line;
which will include all the necessary formatting, including your signature. Don't forget the "subst:" at the beginning!
| |
| ||
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 5) in the format described above. Actual discussions should take place on the listed talk page, not here.
3 August 2006
- Race and intelligence --> Pioneer Fund research Since some editors continue to prevent the inclusion of critical sources and perhaps unwittingly support a vastly non-neutral, unscientific and presumption inducing paradigm of presentation it makes sense to rename the article after where the area of "research" gets most, if not all, of its funding from, the racist Pioneer Fund organization. Pristine Clarity 02:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Voivodship → Voivodeship … Rationale: Overwhelming consensus decision at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Geography of Poland is that the official English spelling is "Voivodeship" … Please share your opinion at Talk:Voivodship. —Elonka 15:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- I moved this back to the top to give more time in case voters would like to determine the spelling of all articles containing Voivodship or Voivodeship at the same time. This way, the spellings will be consistent. I have suggested a closing date of 8/10/06 on the talk page because of the large number of articles involved. -- Kjkolb 09:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Relisting one last time due lack of consensus and large number of articles involved and the need for consistency, as mentioned by Kjkolb. This should be closed somewhere between August 8 and August 10. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 00:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Steady, As She Goes → Steady, as She Goes … Rationale: The official style policy at Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Album_titles_and_band_names states that prepositions in song and album titles should not be capitalised. I did move this to the correct title more than once, but I've been reverted. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Steady, As She Goes. — Extraordinary Machine 00:19, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
August 2 2006
- Vodcast → Video podcast … Rationale: Agreed upon in talk page. New name is more commonly used and *much* more popular on google. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Vodcast. — Pdelongchamp 23:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Move Gordy (Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide Character) to Gordy (Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide character); correct title. MrCEO 22:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Cyber-lip to Cyber-Lip. This is my first article. After spending an hour on research to make sure the Infobox data is accurate, I typo the title. ... ... If I understand correctly, after the title is fixed (moved), the link to this at List of Neo-Geo games will start working. I cannot move this myself as my account is apparently too new. Thanks in advance. Ashanthalas 21:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ektron CMS400.NET to Ektron. The article is information about the company Ektron not a specific piece of software. The naming was a mistake when creating the article.IanMuir 19:47, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- The Jerk (film) to The Jerk. There is a disambig page for The Jerk, and not only is this page used for only two articles, but one of them, the dance, doesn't even have an article. - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- All people are created equal → All men are created equal … Rationale: Jefferson's phrase reads "all men," and gets 20 times as many Google hits as "all people." Articles about specific phrases should be titled exactly with that phrase. It's certainly valid to discuss modern reformulations in the article itself, but the article should be where people expect to find it. … Please share your opinion at Talk:All people are created equal. — Pyroclastic 17:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Youth for Understanding → Youth For Understanding … Rationale: The organization officially uses capital letters under all three words. The "Youth For Understanding" page is a redirect to "Youth for Understanding" and these should be reversed --JohnDBuell 15:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Youth for Understanding.Done thanks to another user. --JohnDBuell 02:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- National Prostate Health Week → National Prostate Health Month – Rationale: {I made a mistake when naming the article. There is no National Prostate Health Week, only month. Mhnmale 14:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)mhnmale}
- List of Seinfeld episodes - Many moves to be made here. As a for instance, Male Unbonding (Seinfeld episode) → Male Unbonding. For some reason, I can't move many of them (I've just tried the first season.) -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 14:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Phort99/CatcherInTheRyeMadLib → User:Phort99/CatcherInTheRyeMadLib… Rationale: Page in wrong namespace due to forgetting "User:" in page name. Theoretically it would be a normal move except that I've only had my account for about a day. — Phort99 13:48, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Done. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 14:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- The One With the Metaphorical Tunnel → The One with the Metaphorical Tunnel
- The One With the Proposal, Part 1 → The One with the Proposal, Part 1 - Proper capitalization. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 13:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
… Rationale:Many a links in Wikepedia intending to refer to this page are referring to Patan (Disambiguation) and user has to spend more time or gets confussed and lost. To prevent his it is better to rename this article as Patan
- NaS battery → Sodium-sulfur battery … Rationale: "Sodium-sulfur battery" appears to be used a bit more frequently, if Google is any indication. Also, I think that all things being equal, it is best to go with the full name rather than an abbreviation. Finally, the new name would match the other battery article names. For example, the Lithium ion battery article is not named "Li-ion", Nickel metal hydride battery is not named "NiMH" and Nickel-cadmium battery is not named "NiCd". … Please share your opinion at Talk:NaS battery. — Kjkolb 09:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Whitworth Gardens → Sackville Gardens … Rationale: It has been known as Sackville Gardens since it was refurbished in 2005 … Please share your opinion at Talk:Whitworth Gardens. —DAllardyce 15:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- Infor → Infor Global Solutions … Rationale: This is the full name referenced in other areas such as baan … Please share your opinion at Talk:Infor. — Jason donaldson 08:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rugby Union Tri Nations → Tri Nations rugby union series … Rationale: I believe this is a less awkward name for rugby union fans to deal with and this form is used by the UK media. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Rugby Union Tri Nations. — Yorkshire Phoenix (talk • contribs) 07:43, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Misfeasance, malfeasance, and nonfeasance → Malfeasance... Rationale: In the case when there is more than one term for an article, the most common (as per search engine test) and appropriate one is used. To list all three terms in a title is clumsy, awkard, and contrary to Wikipedia policy. 66.229.160.94 06:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- High Holidays → High Holy Days
- Reason: more accurate English translation. I tried doing it myself, but other editors said it was "cut & paste" and I should get an admin to do it for me. --M@rēino 03:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. While assimilated Jews in the US especially tend to refer to this "season" as the "High Holidays", Mareino's core assertion is correct. I would recommend that High Holidays become a redirect to High Holy Days, and the current content of High Holy Days be moved to High Holy Days (disambiguation), with an appropriate disambignote added to the top of the article thereafter. "High Holy Days" is the proper title, and is far more commonly used in reference to that season than it is used in reference to the band. Tomertalk 05:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Just a minor point: rather than create a disambig page, I was actually thinking of using a {{for}} link at the top of the page, since there's only one other article, High Holy Days (band). --M@rēino 14:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Reason: more accurate English translation. I tried doing it myself, but other editors said it was "cut & paste" and I should get an admin to do it for me. --M@rēino 03:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Naruto Characters rename: Centralized Discussion
Notices have been posted on the talk pages of the following articles.
- As pointed out in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga#Naruto_character_article_titles, the current names for articles about Naruto characters are inconsistent with the names used for other anime characters (Naruto characters use Japanese order for names, while all other anime characters have their name in Western order), as well not following the naming guidelines suggested in WP:MOS-JA. This will be a block move proposal, but I do not yet have all the Naruto character articles that would need to be moved. --NeoChaosX 00:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Note: changed header, included centralized disucssion, and added rest of names as discussed at wikiproject for reasons above. --Kunzite 02:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Possibly move Holocene extinction event to a new location. See the talk page for details and discussion.
August 1 2006
- Columbus → Columbus (Disambiguation) … Rationale: This would be a two part move. First, the current page should be moved to new page. Then, typing Columbus will redirect to Columbus, Ohio. A link to the disambiguation page would be added to the top of course. The city in Ohio is by far the largest and best known of those with that name. Concerns have also been raised about those looking for Christopher Columbus. This move is potentially controversial. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Columbus. Bcirker 00:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Poisonous spiders → Spider bite … Rationale: Old title is inaccurate, content has been expanded so new title (which currently redirects to Spider) is more appropriate and accurate. Move has been discussed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Spiders, there seems to be consensus. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Poisonous spiders. —EngineerScotty 23:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Theory of structuration → Structuration … Rationale: Articles on theories are called the name of the theory, not "theory of..." however structuration already exists with a redirect to theory of structuration and so Structuration needs to be deleted and then Theory of structuration moved there. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Theory of structuration. —JenLouise 23:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Pirates of the Caribbean (disambiguation) → Pirates of the Caribbean … Rationale: No need for a redirect. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Pirates of the Caribbean (disambiguation) . —Vegaswikian 23:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Aberconwy → Aberconwy (district) … Rationale: The Aberconwy article is currently about a now defunct district but the Boundary commission have recently created Aberconwy (UK Parliament constituency). The district needs to be moved so Aberconwy can be replaced with a dab page. Probably uncontroversial but just in case... … Please share your opinion at Talk:Aberconwy. —Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley talk contrib 19:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- User:CherylB-TOC → The Outdoor Church … Rationale: The user CherylB-TOC created the user sub-page CherylB-TOC/Article01 to draft and finalize the article. The article is now finalized and ready to be submitted to Wikipedia for acceptance with the correct name - The Outdoor Church. … Please share your opinion at User Talk:CherylB-TOC.
- Lord Brocktree (novel) → Lord Brocktree … Rationale: Lord Brocktree is a book in the Redwall series. Lord Brocktree is also a fictional character in the book of the same name. Currently, the book is located at Lord Brocktree (novel) and the fictional character is at Lord Brocktree. Per Wikipedia naming conventions, the book should be under the article title Lord Brocktree, while I propose that the character be moved to Lord Brocktree (Redwall). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Lord Brocktree (novel). —Runch 19:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Lord Brocktree → Lord Brocktree (Redwall) … Rationale: Lord Brocktree is a book in the Redwall series. Lord Brocktree is also a fictional character in the book of the same name. Currently, the book is located at Lord Brocktree (novel) and the fictional character is at Lord Brocktree. Per Wikipedia naming conventions, the book should be under the article title Lord Brocktree, while I propose that the character be moved to Lord Brocktree (Redwall). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Lord Brocktree. —Runch 19:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Martin the Warrior (book) → Martin the Warrior … Rationale: Martin the Warrior is a book in the Redwall series. Martin the Warrior is also a fictional character in the book of the same name. Currently, Martin the Warrior is a disambiguation page between the two terms, but per Wikipedia naming conventions, I think that Martin the Warrior (book) should be moved to Martin the Warrior, with a disambiguation link at the top of the new article informing readers of Martin the Warrior (fictional character). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Martin the Warrior (book). —Runch 19:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Salamandastron (book) → Salamandastron … Rationale: Salamandastron is a book in the Redwall series. It is also the name of a fictional location in the series. Currently, the book is located at Salamandastron (book) and the fictional location is at Salamandastron. Per Wikipedia naming conventions, the book should be under the article title Salamandastron, while I propose that the location be moved to Salamandastron (Redwall). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Salamandastron (book). —Runch 19:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Salamandastron → Salamandastron (Redwall) … Rationale: Salamandastron is a book in the Redwall series. It is also the name of a fictional location in the series. Currently, the book is located at Salamandastron (book) and the fictional location is at Salamandastron. Per Wikipedia naming conventions, the book should be under the article title Salamandastron, while I propose that the location be moved to Salamandastron (Redwall). … Please share your opinion at Talk:Salamandastron. —Runch 19:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Loamhedge (book) → Loamhedge … Rationale: Loamhedge is a book in the Redwall series. Currently, several of the novels in this series have book titles followed by (book) or (novel). I'm trying to change the article titles merely to that of the original novel, per Wikipedia article naming conventions. In the case of Loamhedge, there is currently a (somewhat crufty) article located at Loamhedge about an abbey in the Redwall series. I moved this article to a new location at Loamhedge (Redwall), but I require administrator help to move Loamhedge (book) to the Loamhedge page, which is currently a redirect. Thanks! … Please share your opinion at Talk:Loamhedge (book). —Runch 16:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Young Greens (Green Party of England and Wales) → Young Greens (England and Wales) … Rationale: Occam's Razor; current title is redundant as no other organisation in England and Wales has young greens in its name; for international purposes, the article's subject is known by the proposed title, never the existing one … Please share your opinion at Talk:Young Greens (Green Party of England and Wales). —Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley talk contrib 15:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Funeral (Arcade Fire) → Funeral (album) … Rationale: DAB page was created again (second time in two weeks by same person) for a non-notable musician. Should probably be speedy moved. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Funeral (Arcade Fire). —Crumbsucker 15:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Plymouth → Plymouth, England — There are more than thirty places named Plymouth or similar, and while the city in England is important, it is unlikely that most people looking for a place called Plymouth are looking for that one. Currently someone looking for one of the other Plymouths by typing "Plymouth" comes here, has to go to a disambiguation page, and only then get to the place he wants to go. The Plymouth page should instead be the same as the Westport page: fewer hops for the user. This proposed move is to help make navigation of place-name articles less confusing. — Talk:Plymouth — Evertype 15:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Chester → Chester, England — There are more than thirty places named Chester or similar, and while the city in England is important, it is unlikely that most people looking for a place called Chester are looking for that one. Currently someone looking for one of the other Chesters by typing "Chester" comes here, has to go to a disambiguation page, and only then get to the place he wants to go. The Chester page should instead be the same as the Westport page: fewer hops for the user. This proposed move is to help make navigation of place-name articles less confusing. — Talk:Chester — Evertype 15:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- City of Aberdeen → Aberdeen City … Rationale: The article is about a local government council area of Scotland, and "Aberdeen City" seems to be the current official name. … Please share your opinion at Talk:City of Aberdeen. —Laurel Bush 14:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Template:Infobox lake -> Template:Infobox Lake ... thats the Wikipedia:Infobox standard. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 12:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Miloš Jakeš → Milouš Jakeš. His name is Milouš as explained in the article. --Egg ✉ 10:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sf0 → SFZero — SF0 is based in San Francisco, so the capital "F" seems to be in order. The players tend to use "SF0" more often than "SFZero", but (particularly given the local airpot sign) the lettered "Zero" may be less confusing. Perhaps SF0 should be a redirect.
- Ramon Castro → Ramon Castro (catcher) (or something to this effect; it used to be Ramon Castro (baseball player) but given the existence of Ramon A. Castro). — Anyway, my point is that there's no page for Fidel & Raul Castro's brother - somehow for whom it is very difficult to find any information. — Wencer 03:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
31 July 2006
- Henryk I the Bearded → Henry I the Bearded… Rationale: … Rationale: Page should go back to English usage. --Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 23:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Henryk II the Pious → Henry II the Pious … Rationale: Page should go back to English usage. --Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 23:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- John I of Poland → John I Albert of Poland … Rationale: Long version of the argument at Talk:John I of Poland. Short version: 'Albert' second name is used in almost all English academic work, adding it is making the name more distincitive and we are not loosing anything.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 23:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- John II Casimir of Poland → John II Casimir Vasa … Rationale: Vasa better settles in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth era, points out important royal house … Please share your opinion at Talk:John II Casimir of Poland. —M.K. 22:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- IBM POWER → IBM POWER Architecture … Rationale: "IBM POWER" makes no sense when the subject is "POWER Architecture" … Please share your opinion at Talk:IBM POWER. —Power2ThePeople 21:42, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Rationale: Let the word itself link to the primary topic, per W:D#Primary topic.
- Eastern Mennonite High School → Eastern Mennonite School … Rationale: Overall entity is now officially known as Eastern Mennonite School as of 2005 when they added grades K-5 … Please share your opinion at Talk:Eastern Mennonite High School. —Dmtroyer 20:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 → Pratt & Whitney F119 … Rationale: I recommend a rename to Pratt & Whitney F119 in order to fit in with convention. -PW-100 only refers to a specific variant. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 19:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sgt. Patrick Stewart → Patrick Stewart (soldier) … Rationale: Including titles in article names is unusual; we need some way to disambiguate this from the actor, but this is not the way … Please share your opinion at Talk:Sgt. Patrick Stewart. —-- nae'blis 19:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day → Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. More appropriate title. Voortle 18:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC) Discuss at talk page
- Image:Mother's Day cake.jpg → Image:Mother's Day cookie.jpg - It's a cookie, not a cake. Voortle 18:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Armia Krajowa → Polish Home Army … Rationale: WP:UE and Google Books/Scholar test. heqs 17:18, 31 July 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Armia Krajowa. —heqs 17:18, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Template:Yorkshireinfo → Template:Yorkshire … Rationale: This is a template that is appropriate for all Yorkshire articles, unlike Template:Yorkshire and the Humber and as such belongs at Template:Yorkshire. … Please share your opinion at Template talk:Yorkshireinfo. —Yorkshire Phoenix (talk • contribs) 16:31, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Abov → Abaúj — so that Abov will be the redirect. we already discussed it. — Talk:Abov — – Alensha talk 13:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Grattan Stadium → Odsal Stadium … Rationale: Despite being the official name, due to sponsorship, Grattan Stadium is not used by Rugby League commentators, players or coaches (judging by the after match interviews). There appears to be a convention on Wikipedia not to use these sponsor's names. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Grattan Stadium. —Yorkshire Phoenix (talk • contribs) 11:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Northern Insurance Comapny of New York v. Chatham County → Northern Insurance Company of New York v. Chatham County … Rationale: Typo when I moved it a few minutes ago. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Northern Insurance Comapny of New York v. Chatham County. —zenohockey 06:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- "Microsoft Exchange" → Microsoft Exchange Server … Rationale: Two topics with similar names covering the same topic. The topic with the incorrect name (the stub,"Microsoft Exchange") is also by far the weaker of the two topics. Correct name of product is also the name of the better topic ("Microsoft Exchange Server" —Mondy Mondy 03:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- The problem is that "Microsoft Exchange" refers to both the server and client. The client has been replaced by Outlook, but it was still a major product at the time. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 19:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Utnapishtim → Ziusudra … Rationale: Ziusudra is the earlier Sumerian name of this person, and it is in this form that he appears in both the older version of the Gilgamesh epic and in the Sumerian king list as found in tablets from any era. In order to coherently discuss both in the same article, it appears to me to make more sense to move the article to Ziusudra and change Utnapishtim to a redirect. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Utnapishtim. —TCC (talk) (contribs) 05:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Gayanashagowa → Great Law of Peace … Rationale: The English name is preferred per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). "Great Law of Peace" is far more common than "Gayanashagowa" in English-language sources. Please see the talk page for evidence, when I try to post it here, it breaks the template. heqs 06:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Gayanashagowa. —heqs 06:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

- Vietnamese alphabet → quốc ngữ … Rationale: Current article name not the most common (per WP:NC(CN)) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Vietnamese alphabet. —DHN 20:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Joshua Gracin → Josh Gracin … Rationale: Mr Gracin now goes by the name Josh as opposed to Joshua. He records his albums under this name and his official website is Josh Gracin.com. Though he gained fame under American Idol as Joshua in 2003, the greater deal of his current fans know him as Josh.… Please share your opinion at Talk:Joshua Gracin --Rougher07 19:53, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Robert A. Heinlein's Variable Star → Variable Star … Rationale: The real name of this book appears to be Variable Star, not Robert A. Heinlein's Variable Star. The cover image on the page and the advance copy that I have in my possession bear this out. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Robert A. Heinlein's Variable Star. —Lukobe 18:57, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Newport → Newport, Wales — There are more than thirty Newports, and while the city in Wales is important, it is unlikely that most people looking for a place called Newport are looking for that one. Currently someone looking for one of the other Newports by typing "Newport" comes here, has to go to a disambiguation page, and only then get to the place he wants to go. The Newport page should instead be the same as the Westport page: fewer hops for the user. The new Newport, Wales and the Newport, Pembrokeshire pages should have disambiguation links to one another, which would make the current Newport, Wales disambiguation page moot, which would be less confusing. — Talk:Newport — Evertype 11:33, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Final Fantasy designers → List of Final Fantasy designers … Rationale: A series of complicated move reversions gone horribly wrong by my accidental (and deeply embarrasing) typo of "fantays" instead of "fantasy." The original article title was "List of Final Fantasy designers," and it'd be there now if I hadn't screwed up. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Final Fantasy designers. —– Sean Daugherty (talk) 05:33, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Jan III Sobieski → John III Sobieski … Rationale: Per WP:UE, needs to be moved back to the English form of the name … Please share your opinion at Talk:Jan III Sobieski. —Elonka 04:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Urgency → Urinary urgency … Rationale: I'm too new to move a page, and the new name would be more specific … Please share your opinion at Talk:Urgency. —Hahagood 07:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

- Adnan Ćatić → Felix Sturm a German boxer who is universally known and fights as Felix Sturm best known for loss against Oscar de la Hoya Talk:Adnan Ćatić — Maya Levy 21:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Six-One News → RTÉ News: Six One — The programme was renamed "RTÉ News: Six One" a while ago. — Talk:Six-One News — Ian Cheese 19:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Borg (fictional aliens) → Borg (Star Trek) … Rationale: to keep like all other dab'd Star Trek related pages … Please share your opinion at Talk:Borg (fictional aliens). —Newnam(talk) 19:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Rachel Green → Rachel Greene … Rationale: "Greene" is the correct spelling of the character's name. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Rachel Green. —musicpvm 18:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thunderbolts (comics) → Thunderbolts — According to WP:CMC naming conventions, "(comics)" should only be added when in need of disambiguation. It appears a well-meaning but misunderstanding editor at some point moved the article to this location without need. — Talk:Thunderbolts (comics) — Chris Griswold 06:53, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- RAR (file format) → RAR - Rationale: See talk … Please share your opinion at Talk:RAR (file format)savidan(talk) (e@) 15:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- WWF (conservation organization) → World Wildlife Fund … Rationale: Correct name of the organization, also follows tradition like the articles on WWE and NFL. It's currently a redirect page back to WWF (conservation organization) … Please share your opinion at Talk:WWF (conservation organization). —TJ Spyke 00:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Soyuz launch vehicle → Soyuz (rocket) … Rationale: Three main reasons:
- Soyuz is Russian, and in Russia the term "Launch Vehicle" is not used
- The titling of all rocket articles is a mess, but (rocket) appears to be the most common version
- A proposed Naming convention would support this
… Please share your opinion at Talk:Soyuz launch vehicle. —GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 21:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Performance problem → Performance tuning … Rationale: The new title defines the scope of the article much better and is more standard terminology. A recent discussion concluded this renaming to "Performance tuning" would make more sense than the current title. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Performance problem. —JonHarder 14:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sega CD → Sega Mega-CD/Sega CD … Rationale: When the article was moved to Sega Mega-CD/Sega CD for the first time, it was to follow the naming convention of its "mother console", the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis. Later it was moved to Sega CD with
- slashes represent subpages and
- Since the majority of English readers that read this article are American, I think it should be moved back to sega CD
as reasons without further discussion. Some users don't agree on that move. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Sega CD. —32X 13:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Chinese language family → Chinese language - 100110100 (talk • contribs) moved the article from the orginal title Chinese language to Chinese language family -75.3.12.89 05:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Microprogram → Microcode … Rationale: Article states that "Microcode" is the more common term, and hence it should be the head. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Microprogram. —Nbarth 5:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Couerl → Coeurl … Rationale: correct spelling, but there is an unneeded redirect there … Please share your opinion at Talk:Couerl. —Axem Titanium 04:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ian Meldrum → Molly Meldrum … Rationale: He is better known as Molly Meldrum
- The move request was not mentioned at Talk:Ian Meldrum. I posted a message there and this page should not be moved until 5 days from now. —Centrx→talk • 02:26, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Provisional Government of Lithuania → Provisional Government of Lithuania (1941)… Rationale: More accurate name. Uncontroversial, but I accidentally moved Talk:Provisional Government of Lithuania to Provisional Government of Lithuania (1941) instead. (D'oh!) I copy-pasted it back to Talk:Provisional Government of Lithuania and left a redirect, please restore that page's history as well. Thanks so much, heqs 01:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC) … Please share your opinion at Talk:Provisional Government of Lithuania. —heqs 01:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)- Struck due to convincing arguments against the move presented on talk page. If someone can still restore the history to the talk page, that would be great. heqs 19:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

- Education Savings Account → Coverdell Education Savings Account … Rationale: The proper name is "Coverdell Education Savings Account" and the article is not talking about generic "education savings accounts". I foolishly created "Coverdell Education Savings Account" and messed around with that a bit, so now I cannot just use the "move" link to move "Education Savings Account" and its history to the new name. Next time I'll think a bit first before diving right in. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Education Savings Account. —j-beda 19:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Northwestern → Northwestern (disambiguation) … Rationale: So that a search for "Northwestern" is redirected to Northwestern University but the disambiguations of the term “Northwestern” will still exist and will be accessible through a dablink at the top of Northwestern University. Please see Stanford as an example. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Northwestern. —Robms927 18:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- The Doctor's Advocate (album) → The Doctor's Advocate … Rationale: Simpler title. It was originaly named "The Doctor's Advocate" then someone moved it even though there isn't any other wikipedia article with that name. As of now "The Doctor's Advocate" redirects to "The Doctor's Advocate (album)" It's basic wikipedia naming convention. … Please share your opinion at Talk:The Doctor's Advocate (album). —Ted87 15:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Directory of Public Worship → Westminster Directory for Public Worship. It seems (from a little Google research, and the article itself) that people prefer for over to. I am creating a WP:disambiguation page at Directory for Public Worship to avoid confusion with other Directories of similar names. I think that the old name should redirect to the disambiguation page. —Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 06:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Cone (solid) → Cone (geometry) … Rationale: Conforming with convention. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Cone (solid). —Swift 06:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- My Student (Scrubs episode) → My Student - Rationale: The latter is a stub of the former. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 03:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment. Malformed request. User (about to be) noted. Duja 09:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)- Malformed no longer See Talk:My Student (Scrubs episode) and Talk:My Student. For the life of me, I don't understand why it's not just moved, especially when there's already a backlog for these moves. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 16:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

- Mount Cook → Aoraki/Mount Cook … Rationale: The official name of the mountain is Aoraki/Mount Cook, see discussion at Talk:Mount Cook … Please share your opinion at Talk:Mount Cook. —Tirana 23:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- I moved this to the top because a place for voting and discussion was not made. -- Kjkolb 10:31, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Spysheriff → SpySheriff … Rationale: In Talk:Spysheriff#Name, User:68.233.38.229 said that the name should be changed to Spy Sheriff or SpySheriff. The company's website calls the program SpySheriff. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Spysheriff. —Sbluen 03:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- ESRI shapefiles → Shapefile — Dropped ESRI prefix ("Shapefile" is far more common and familiar), and made singular (was plural). Also, both Arabic and Spanish articles use the shapefile namespace (es:Shapefile, ar:Shapefile). — Talk:ESRI shapefiles — Mwtoews 06:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

- On Leather Wings (Batman: The Animated Series) → On Leather Wings - Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television)#Episode articles -
Because WP guidelines on disambiguation and on the wikiproject TV episodes, clearly point that it is better to avoid the parenthesis when the title of the episode doesn't belong to anything else. The format and content of the article are enough indication of the topic being a TV episode and the tencency on episode list articles' wikis is to hide disambiguation parenthesis anyway. The same problem happened with the rest of the currently developed articles about Batman: The Animated Series episodes all because a user recently moved all the articles with no parenthesis in the same manner T-man, the wise 00:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Pages in the same situation are:
Christmas With the Joker- It's Never Too Late
I've Got Batman In My BasementThe Cat and the Claw: Part IThe Cat and the Claw: Part IIHeart of IceBeware The Gray GhostFeat of Clay: Part IFeat of Clay: Part IIJoker's FavorFear of VictoryAlmost Got 'ImThe Man Who Killed Batman
...All those redirects must be erased and the pages named with the unnecessary parenthesis disambiguation moved with the proper title, according to the naming conventions. Most episode articles are not developed yet, so we are on good time to fix this little problem.
Also backing me up on my point is Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television)#Episode articles--T-man, the wise 16:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- ===>Note: I moved the ones that are struck through, as they had improper capitalization anyway. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 23:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- ===>Note 2: I moved several of these over their redirects. Only It's Never Too Late remains. I have no idea why those worked and this one didn't. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 16:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Bullocks To Stan → Bullocks to Stan - Proper capitalization. See Talk:Bullocks To Stan -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 17:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Department of Trade and Industry (United Kingdom) to Department of Trade and Industry. A disambigation page of Department of Trade and Industry was created since there is also a Phillipenes DTI. I have moved the disambig to Department of Trade and Industry (disambiguation) since 99% of links to Department of Trade and Industry are for the UK version. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Primary_topic --Tagishsimon (talk)

- Irregular Galaxy NGC 55 to NGC 55
- Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy NGC 185 to NGC 185
- Open Cluster NGC 225 to NGC 225
- Spiral Galaxy NGC 7320 to NGC 7320
- These go against the typical Wikipedia convention to disambiguate articles by using parentheses after the article name, and discussion on WikiProject Astronomical objects has come to the view that the format should be NGC #. The destination pages are redirects with more than one item in the history. Please share your opinion at Talk:Irregular Galaxy NGC 55. Chaos syndrome 21:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Nogeun-ri → No Gun Ri … Rationale: It was at No Gun Ri until a contributor suddenly moved it, without discussion. I object to the move. "No Gun Ri" gets 8 million hits in Google, and Nogeun-ri only a few hundred. The most easily recognizable English language version of the name should be used. Please move it back, somebody. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Nogeun-ri --Uncle Ed 13:55, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Another example of how to request to move a block of pages:
- Talk:Third world -- First world to First World,
- Second world to Second World and
- Third world to Third World
- This was a move made earlier in the year as a block move, after listing on this page because all three were blocked by edits to the target pages -- ~~~~
