*No statement one way or the other on which title is more appropriate or not, but the 3-month moratorium is very appropriate because of the ''behavior'' of the participants on both sides of these discussions. The issue here is not the correct title, the issue here is that people involved are behaving badly, and a mechanism needs to be in place to stop that behavior. This mechanism stops that. 3 months is the right length to let things die down, but not so long that if situations in the conflict change that DO precipitate a name change; we can address those. --[[User:Jayron32|<font style="color:#000099">Jayron</font>]]'''''[[User talk:Jayron32|<font style="color:#009900">32</font>]]''''' 14:40, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, the name change issue (preventing it, that is), has lead to edit warring regarding the scope of the article. I think that's part of the move request now. In other words, the bad behavior has manifested itself in edit wars regarding what should be in the article, how far back it should go (after all, July is only the start of the 2nd half of 2014, and the previous 6 months had stuff happen, too, why shouldn't that be in there?). If we go ahead and make a scope change (article name change) now, it will alleviate a lot of the edit warring regarding scope - and people can then fight about something else! ;-) People will then be able to handle forking for "proper" reasons, like timeframe. But generally, I believe that it's right to go ahead and fix the name now, rather than continue to wait.

*'''Endorse close / moratorium''' The speedy close was clearly correct given the time and results of the previous close. The moratorium is reasonable, especially given the number of recent move related discussions, and the calls for speedy closes in the RM itself. That said the closers proposed adjustment to the moratorium above also seems reasonable. ( Aside: I think a move history log should be added to the talk page header given the number of moves and reviews, if I get a little more time I'll try to trace through the history and archives and build such a page but hopefully someone beats me to it as I'm currently on vacation. ) [[User:PaleAqua|PaleAqua]] ([[User talk:PaleAqua|talk]]) 15:06, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

*'''Endorse close/moratorium''' I recall joining the July RM and the proposed title got universal opposition. As this article is highly visible, I don't perceive a problem with the moratorium. {{noping|Erictheenquirer}} mentioned a "majority consensus" (while [[WP:NOTDEMOCRACY|Wiki is not democratic]]) on moving the title to an unsourced "Gaza War" (while historians name wars after both sides!) but I cannot see it. Jayron32 has made a good point that the review is mostly caused by inappropriate behaviour, not real dispute. The speedy close is justified to me, concerning the many RMs which reaffirm the current title. Clearly [[WP:Recentism]] got in the way and made the impression that events before the "war" are not the main points of this article. <small>Israli is part of the battlefield, as HAMAS fired rockets into its territory.</small>[[User:Forbidden User|Forbidden User]] ([[User talk:Forbidden User|talk]]) 11:47, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

*'''Endorse'''. Obviously a proper close. The onus is on WikiProjects to monitor, not on closers to check WikiProject notification. This nomination lacks, and needs, a substantive argument for why the current title is worse than the previous. It would probably be more productive to open a thread at [[Talk:Atmospheric_particulate_matter]], and proceed to a fresh RM should substantive arguments be agreed with. --[[User:SmokeyJoe|SmokeyJoe]] ([[User talk:SmokeyJoe|talk]]) 02:10, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

*** I don't see that any existing participants in the RM were at fault, and I think that means that we should "move forward", not backwards. "Obviously a proper close" does not necessarily mean "the right result"; I am intrigued by what contribution you will have speaking against that rename, but on principle I won't support this nomination that asserts no technical procedural failing and doesn't include any substantive criticism of the rename. The harm would be the implied criticism of the closer for performing this close. There are too few qualified, impartial, reliable RM closers, and this closer does not deserve this criticism. I would not have made this nomination, but instead would have opened a new thread on the talk page and detailed problems with the rename that the other participants failed to see. In anticipation, I would suggest that "particulates" to me is more likely to refer to water quality, like [[total suspended solids]], and has for decades at least been an important matter of water quality, and is established (boring) knowledge, and that interest in atmospheric particulates has a recentism bias. --[[User:SmokeyJoe|SmokeyJoe]] ([[User talk:SmokeyJoe|talk]]) 03:36, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

**** I find it suspicious, at least, that [[User:G. C. Hood|G. C. Hood]] appears to have waited until I had announced that I was away before filing the move request, and posting a request for ''my'' participation in the discussion ''directly under'' the note on my talk page stating that I would be unavailable until the 12th. It seems disingenuous at least, and at worst like some kind of shenanigans, to act like the participation of an editor in a discussion is valued and requested while initiating the discussion when the same editor will be unable to participate. As it turns out, I had some limited windows of opportunity to make a few edits, and I expended some of that time on a straighforward request that this discussion be relisted so that I would have an opportunity to participate (as requested). We have had [[Wikipedia talk:Requested moves/Archive 26#Barring involved people from relisting move discussions?|some lengthy discussions about relisting]] as a matter of policy, and I know that you are opposed to relisting discussions at all as a matter of principle, but the community in general has endorsed the idea, and as a technical matter, my request should have been honored. As for the substance of the question, I don't know what the evidence would show, as I still have not had a chance to look into it. I got off a plane from London yesterday afternoon exhausted and fully expecting to have some time to address this in the next few days, and today found the discussion closed and the disambig count skyrocketing because of a redirect that violated [[WP:MALPLACED]]. I don't know that I would necessarily disagree with the determination that [[Atmospheric particulate matter]] is not the primary topic, bit if it isn't then it is a subtopic of an unambiguous primary topic involving all such particulate matter, and that seems not to have been considered at all.
