Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

• To list a technical request: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

  {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
  

  This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
• If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
• If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• Undercover High School (TV series) (currently a redirect to Undercover High School) → Undercover High School (move · discuss) – Related subject Aidillia (talk) 13:41, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
• Man in the Saddle (1951 film) (currently a redirect to Man in the Saddle) → Man in the Saddle (move · discuss) – Clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC from similar titles at The Man in the Saddle (disambiguation) per WP:THE. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 06:33, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
• John Shaffer (politician) (currently a redirect to John Shaffer) → John Wilson Shaffer (currently a redirect instead to John Shaffer (governor)) (move · discuss) – per WP:NATURAL. Considering that John Shaffer (baseball) is also John W. Shaffer, and that John D. Shaffer fulfulls WP:NPOL, "John W. Shaffer" or "John Shaffer (politician)" both are incomplete disambiguation, and/or redirects with history. Vycl1994 (talk) 04:40, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
• Heimallarchaeota (currently a redirect to Heimdallarchaeota) → Heimdallarchaeota (move · discuss) – Heimdallarchaeota is a more correct and generally accepted name, but it exists as a redirect which I cannot move-replace due to its contents. Chhandama (talk) 06:04, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
• Flood control (currently a redirect to Flood management) → Flood management (move · discuss) – Flood management is a better, all encompassing term to cover other topics discussed in and redirected to this article, such as flood control, flood mitigation, flood risk management. TatjanaClimate (talk) 08:39, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
• Girls Hostel (TV series) (currently a redirect to Girls Hostel) → Girls Hostel (move · discuss) – There's no other article titled Girls Hostel. M S Hassan 📬✍🏻 10:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
• Constitution of the State of Penang (currently a redirect to Constitution of Penang) → Constitution of Penang (move · discuss) – Make shorter (WP:CONCISE, WP:PRECISE) Ong Kai Jin (talk) 11:21, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

• Concision → Succinctness (currently a redirect back to Concision) (move · discuss) – Much more widely used per number of Google and Google Books results. ModernDaySlavery (talk) 22:33, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

@ModernDaySlavery "Concision" is definitely the common name here. See ngrams for example. C F A 💬 13:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Oppose per WP:CONCISE. --Ahecht (TALK

• – firm went through a rebrand with new name and website- see nvpcap.com Jlsolomon74 (talk) 15:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

  @Jlsolomon74 Can you provide significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article where the "nvp capital" name is used. A Google search for that term mostly turns up results for Norwest Venture Partners. --Ahecht (TALK

• Iranian Revolution (currently a redirect to Iranian revolution) → Iranian revolution (move · discuss) – Change to sentence case (WP:AT). Not consistently capped in sources - per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS. See here. Cinderella157 (talk) 09:37, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Why would you think this would be uncontroversial? Your ngrams show that uppercase is the common styling. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:21, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Because, as you know, the threshold is far from a simple majority. You are also aware that ngrams over-report capitilisation such as expected use in headings, captions and titles in citations where title case is used. However Randy Kryn, if you insist on wasting everybody's time on what is reasonably a foregone conclusion, then we can have an RM. Cinderella157 (talk) 01:54, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

This was never eligible for RMT to begin with considering the plethora of RMs on the page. None have contested the capitalization but I definitely can see contesting overall. If you want to continue with the move, please use the discuss button above to start an RM. Sennecaster (Chat) 02:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
