Revision as of 11:37, 10 September 2008
This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For information on retitling files, categories, and other items, see § When not to use this page.
Before moving a page or requesting a move, please review the article titling policy and the guidelines on primary topics.
Any autoconfirmed user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar; see how to move a page for more information. 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. In such cases, 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.
- A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
- Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. 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, or 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.
Uncontroversial proposals
Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.
If you object to a proposal listed here, please re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.
Incomplete and contested proposals
With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

- Oppose Se Ri Pak, LPGA Golfer is commonly known as this in the English speaking world 70.55.89.214 (talk) 10:29, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Others
- Tour EP (Band of Horses) → Tour EP — Unnecessary dab. You cannot move a page to this location, because the new title has been protected from creation Please post on my talk why this is so... — —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- There is also "Tour EP" which is an EP by the Canadian heavy metal band Strapping Young Lad. It was limited to 2500 copies. The deleted article Tour EP describes it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:54, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Johnny Murphy (rugby player) → Johne Murphy — No other Johne Murphy's out there, no need to disambiguate one person, incorrect spelling of Irish first name, also is the common usage in England, other one can be used as part of a redirect, however it is still not correct in Ireland or the UK — Londo06 07:59, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- If he is generally called Johnny Murphy, the page can stay where it is? I have never heard of a name "Johne" being pronounced as two syllables. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:54, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- War Memorial Park, Coventry → War Memorial Park — "War Memorial Park, Coventry" is clearly the primary page. The disambiguation page is now at "War Memorial Park (disambiguation)" — Snowman (talk) 09:50, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- There are many war memorial parks and similar. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:54, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- But only one has a wikipage. Snowman (talk) 09:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- The page's title should make it clear that it means the Coventry example and no other. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:08, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- I have added a the template to the articles talk page, and a section for discussion there. I thought that it would have been incumbent on the person that moved a discussion from the uncontroversial proposals to "Others" (here) here to do notify other users on the articles talk page. Snowman (talk) 10:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Naïve → Naive - According to the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, The American Heritage® Stedman's Medical Dictionary, Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, Online Etymology Dictionary, WordNet® 3.0, The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, and Garner's Modern American Usage, Naive (w/o the dieresis) is the standard English spelling, and Naïve" (w/ the dieresis) is the variant form. Article should be the standard spelling with the variant redirecting. Kman543210 (talk) 21:36, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- The article Naïve covers more than just the word "naïve". — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 21:42, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Other proposals
Please use the correct template: see the instructions above. Do not attempt to copy and paste formatting from another listing. |
- Stay (2005 film) → Stay (film) —(Discuss)— No other film titled 'Stay' --The Son of Man (talk) 11:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Seekers Quest Begins → Seekers: The Quest Begins —(Discuss)— Better title --Leo Laursen – ✍ ⌘ 09:08, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Minor characters in 24 → Recurring and minor characters in 24 — Solves many problems and ends many editor disputes. See pre-existing discussion. I have posted this note here to prevent people from removing the Move Proposal Template from the Talk Page.
- (Discuss)— Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (aircraft) --Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 19:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC) - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 19:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- Chance-Vought F4U survivors → F4U Corsair survivors
- Boeing B-52 survivors → B-52 Stratofortress survivors
- Boeing B-47 survivors → B-47 Stratojet survivors
- Boeing B-29 survivors → B-29 Superfortress survivors
- Boeing B-17 survivors → B-17 Flying Fortress survivors
- Consolidated B-24 survivors → B-24 Liberator survivors
- Douglas A-20 survivors → A-20 Havoc survivors
- Douglas A-26 survivors → A-26 Invader survivors
- Lockheed P-38 survivors → P-38 Lightning survivors
- North American B-25 survivors → B-25 Mitchell survivors
- Republic P-47 survivors → P-47 Thunderbolt survivors
- Clean coal technology → Clean coal —(Discuss)— Better describes the article. --- Eldereft (cont.) 16:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- Environmental issues with biodiesel → Environmental issues with biofuels —(Discuss)— No reason given by nominator. ---- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- The Latin American X-Change → The Latin American Xchange —(Discuss)— It will not allow me to move it there, also as per a discussion at WP:PW/ANC. --WillC 03:26, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- Northern Areas → Federally Administered Northern Areas —(Discuss)— In line with naming conventions applied to other Pakistani provinces, e.g. North-West Frontier Province (and equally Federally Administered Tribal Areas), I propose that this article's title should be Federally Administered Northern Areas (presently a redirect to Northern Areas). Apart from the reason already provided (i.e. consistency), I would add one more: it would make the generally applied abbreviation FANA more easily understood. --meco (talk) 10:05, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Seattle, Washington → Seattle —(Discuss)— Disambiguation is unnecessary; "Seattle" most often refers to the city. Moving would prevent everyone who types in "Seattle" from being greeted with "Redirected from...". Moving would also follow the lead of other articles about large cities such as Chicago, New York City, Oslo, and Amsterdam. --—Remember the dot (talk) 05:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Siamese fighting fish → Betta splendens —(Discuss)— The far more common name for these fish is simply "Betta". There are no foods marketed towards "fighting fish" or "rumble fish", or even "betta fish". Betta is already taken, so this article should be located at Betta splendens, not at a next-runner-up common name. I had possibly encountered the name "Siamese fighting fish" when I was a child, but not since, until I came across this article. It's just silly. A Google search for Siamese fighting fish yields 184,000, but Betta splendens yields 341,000, implying that even the scientific name is more common than this "common name". --~ JohnnyMrNinja 04:33, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Irish florin coin → Florin (Irish coin) —(Discuss)— Consistency with other florins and removal of the form "florin coin", which is redundant and not commonly used. Simply "florin" is best. "Irish florin" would also be an improvement. --Srnec (talk) 04:04, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Ayaka Nishiwaki → A~chan —(Discuss)— Move requested according to WP:Naming conventions - A~chan her professional name and is far more commonly used and shorter than her full name --Torika (talk) 19:38, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Amputee fetishism → Acrotomophilia —(Discuss)— The name is oxymoronic slang, and contradicts the currently existing name of the Apotemnophilia article. --Redblueball (talk) 17:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC) Redblueball (talk) 17:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Centre Stadium → Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center Stadium —(Discuss)— This is a proper name, and should use the spelling of the proper name. --Samuel Webster (talk) 16:36, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Free Area of the Republic of China → Taiwan Area —(Discuss)— The current article name is a politically POV term used by independence groups of Taiwan. The article interwikis to 타이완 지구, 台灣地區, and 臺灣地區, which mean "Taiwan region" in Korean, Cantonese, and Chinese respectively. The article is linked-in by number of articles as if it is an article about Taiwan (for example Ministry of Education (Republic of China), Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau). The current name is POV because one can easily find a term describing the opposing points of view (i.e. liberate Taiwan, unliberated province of China). The proposed name "Taiwan Area" comes from the article itself, which states 'In ordinary legislation, the term "Taiwan Area" is usually used'. "Taiwan Area" is a politically neutral term because it only mentions geography and it agrees with the current interwikis. --Voidvector (talk) 16:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Alexander Dennis Pointer → Plaxton Pointer —(Discuss)— Vehicle was sold under several different marques during its lifetime, but Plaxton Pointer is the most commonly used name by a significant margin (the Google test suggests a factor of 20), so the move would be in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME. --Quackdave (talk) 14:09, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Milošević era, and the Kosovo War → History of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia —(Discuss)— In line with standard practice (ie History of + country) and to avoid the use of potentially POV wording "Milošević era". --Asteriontalk 11:56, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Poseur (music) → Poseur —(Discuss)— "Poseur" is currently protected from creation. The term applies to more than just music—it applies to the subculture in full (whatever subculture that may be). --— Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 09:52, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Kontinental Hockey League → Continental Hockey League —(Discuss)— KHL isn't abbreviation. It's English transliteration for Russian acronym КХЛ(Континентальная хоккейная лига=Continental Hockey League), so true name of article is Continental Hockey League. Undoubtedly, it would be better to use CHL instead of KHL, but somebody in our(Russian) hockey federation wasn't clever enough.. — QZip (talk) 09:09, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Pharmaceutical company → Pharmaceutical industry —(Discuss)— The article deals more with the industry as a whole than with the concept of an individual company. After moving, we can write a short article for "Pharmaceutical company". --Eric Kvaalen (talk) 08:50, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- 'hours...' → ? —(Discuss)— This seems like a blatant disregard of WP:MOSTM, and the title obviously needs to be changed to something else. However, media sources use many different names when referring to the album, including Hours, Hours..., 'Hours...', and hours.... —Xnux the Echidna 02:08, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Basque Country (historical territory) → Euskal Herria —(Discuss)— The current title's parenthesis is misleading and the title without parenthesis is taken (and ambiguous). This article is/should be about a concept, not a "historical territory", see the Spanish Wiki for a similar solution. This proposal stems from discussions about problems in the article's content and "info"box over the last few days. It might be useful for those interested in the move request to read those debate threads first. --Srnec (talk) 18:01, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Battle of Hurtgen Forest → Battle of Hürtgen Forest —(Discuss)— The present name violates Wikipedia style for treatment of foreign words with diacritics --PKKloeppel (talk) 13:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Willem II Tilburg → Willem II (football club) —(Discuss)— The name of the town, Tilburg, is only in the name of the company behind the club. The club itself is called Willem II, it is registered with the relevant associations as Willem II and it is known by the public as Willem II. See for instance the club website Willem-II.nl, the club information on the official Eredivisie website, the club information on the UEFA website and the club information on the Voetbal International website. --Aecis·(away) talk 12:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Giovanni di Stefano → Giovanni Di Stefano —(Discuss)— Capitalization preferred by the subject of the article, sources use both capitalizations interchangeably. See archived discussion where nobody raised any issues. --Enric Naval (talk) 01:23, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Risk Management Plan → Risk management plan —(Discuss)— Capitalization --Leo Laursen – ✍ ⌘ 08:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- Kačanik → Kaçanik —(Discuss)— Due to the new status and the majority population -- CD 06:59, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- Attractive Nuisance → Attractive Nuisance (album) —(Discuss)— Attractive Nuisance is a legal concept, borrowed for the title of a record album. The primary article should be the legal concept, with a disambiguation link to the album --Paul Foxworthy (talk) 03:13, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats → Chocolate Tea Cakes —(Discuss)— I am proposing that we change the name of 'Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats' to 'Chocolate Teacakes. The name is abit daft and to biased towards an American spelling. When I googled Chocolate Tea cakes, I got 506,000 results. But when I googled Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, I only got 2,320 results. So would it not make sense to rename it 'Chocolate Tea Cakes'? Its much more relevant. --Teacake Martyr (talk) 14:57, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- In Search of Sunrise: North American Summer Tour 2008 → In Search of Sunrise: Summer Tour 2008 —(Discuss)— The tour does not involve only North America, the tour includes Europe as a leg of the tour and therefore it should be changed to a more broad title. Rather than creating a new article titled "In Search of Sunrise: European Summer Tour 2008", it is better for both articles to be included together but first the title must be changed in order to add the new information on the European leg --Lonelysoulq (talk) 21:16, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Backlog
Move dated sections here after five days have passed (December 24 or older).
- Altamont Motorsports Park → Altamont Raceway Park —(Discuss)— New name of the track per Track website. --Gateman1997 (talk) 23:38, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Devil Summoner → Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner —(Discuss)— Change to complete title. Currently Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner is just a redirect, so it won't affect a lot if anything. --SharkD (talk) 23:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- GC17 → Gold Coast Football Club —(Discuss)— Official club name now announced --The-Pope (talk) 12:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Decline of the Roman Empire → Fall of the Roman Empire —(Discuss)— Per WP:Name, this is the most common name.
Already agreed on by consensus in talk page discussion.--Carl.bunderson (talk) 07:41, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia → International Reaction to the Independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia —(Discuss)— We agreed on talk page that the original should be split in two. I've already made a page for International Recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and now we need this page moved to avoid confusion. Thank you!
- The split being discussed is into "reaction to" and "recognition of". I don't see consensus for such a split on the talk page - and I don't think it's a good idea. The two concepts seem completely intertwined to me. If there were a clear consensus, I'd say 'try it', we can always merge later if it doesn't work. But lacking consensus, I don't think it's a good idea. Regards, Ben Aveling 22:06, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- 1977 Tenerife KLM-Pan Am 747 runway collision → Tenerife airport disaster —(Discuss)— partially fix a previous undiscussed move. Move over redirect required --MickMacNee (talk) 00:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- There's not uniform agreement on dropping out the year on this proposed title. Several, including me, prefer 1977 Tenerife airport disaster. See the talk pages of the article for details. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 06:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- Woodstock → Woodstock (disambiguation) —(Discuss)— Primary topic identified. Request for current page to be moved to dab page with Woodstock becoming a redirect to Woodstock Festival --Viriditas (talk) 23:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Diocletianic Persecution → Great Persecution —(Discuss)— Nowhere (outside Wikipedia) is the term "Diocletianic Persecution" in wide use. Most reliable sources use the term "Great Persecution" to define the matter for study. Not all of Diocletian's persecutions are covered by the subject matter of the "Great Persecution" as traditionally defined. Not all persecutions covered by the subject matter of the "Great Persecution" as traditionally defined are strictly 'Diocletianic'. --Geuiwogbil (Talk) 16:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hugo Boss AG → Hugo Boss —(Discuss)— The company's brand name is Hugo Boss, the "AG" just means that it is a publicly listed company, and shouldn't be part of the article's name --Axt (talk) 10:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Every Second Counts (game show) → Every Second Counts (UK game show) —(Discuss)— To remove confusion arising from current disambiguation arrangements, there being another page Every Second Counts (US game show). Should be uncontroversial, but just in case there is some other reason for the current arrangment. --Neonumbers (talk) 09:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Twin Tower (disambiguation) → Twin Towers —(Discuss)— Moving disambiguation page back to main title per WP:DAB. --Trystan (talk) 06:03, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Meleke → Jerusalem stone - (Discuss) - This page name was changed to an Arabic name. Jerusalem stone is the common English name and in accordance with Wikipedia policy on common names for commonly discussed stones. See: Manhattan schist, Puddingstone and Indiana Limestone. Jerusalem stone is the name used in tens of thousands of books and articles. Mekele is a foreign word scarcely used in English.Elan26 (talk) 18:41, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Elan26
- Fictional film → Fiction film —(Discuss)—As seen at the archive, a long and rancorous debate closed with no consensus. The main objection IMHO was that the literature uses the term "fictional film" to mean "a film that is a work of fiction" and that the OED apparently doesn't list "fiction" as having use as an adjective. However, as the main objector himself acknowledged, both the terms "fiction film" and "fictional film" are used in the literature, including my the co-author of the book to which he pointed as definitive. That the OED does or doesn't note contemporary usage of the word "fiction" is not relevant, as common sense tells us that the word is used as an adjective in ordinary English usage. "Fictional" used to mean "contained within a work of fiction" is in widespread if not overwhelming usage across Wikipedia, with no fewer than 5,526 resultsin category names alone. Of particular note is Category:Fictional films, which collects articles on films that exist only within other works of fiction. By contrast, the Category:Fiction structure (including Category:Fiction books, a usage of which the objector claimed never to have heard before) deals with works of fiction. Clearly, maintaining this article at its current title is in conflict with a number of usage conventions within Wikipedia. Moving it resolves the ambiguity, allows for the creation of an article about fictional films should someone care to write one and brings the article in line with how things are done throughout the project. --Otto4711 (talk) 18:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- Joseon Dynasty → Joseon —(Discuss)— Analogously to Goryeo, because the usage of the term "Joseon" throughout is confusing with a title like "Joseon Dynasty" (to English speakers), and Joseon redirects here. --Srnec (talk) 22:55, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Rudolph I of Germany → Rudolph of Habsburg —(Discuss)— "Like Philip of Swabia, we should call the "Kings of the Romans" what most historians actually call them." –User:Pmanderson, --Srnec (talk) 05:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- I am listing this move on behalf of the quoted user, since it was formally proposed at the talk page but not listed here. Srnec (talk) 05:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- 7.62 Tkiv 85 → 7.62 TKIV 85 —(Discuss)— The Finnish Defence Forces use the 7.62 TKIV 85 nomenclature for this rifle. — Francis Flinch (talk) 17:52, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- St Pancras railway station → ? —(Discuss)— I think the time has come to seek external input on whether the name of this station should include "London" and/or "International" —Tevildo (talk) 19:34, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Bachelor of Computer Science → Bachelor of Science in Computer Science —(Discuss)— Wikipedia article naming policy is to use the most well-known name, and the most well-known name according to Google is the proposed new title. --NerdyNSK (talk) 14:24, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Drukpa → Drukpa Kagyu — (Discuss)- The most common use of the word Drukpa is for "the People of Bhutan" a "Bhutanese person" or "Bhutanese" whereas the religious school is properly called "Drukpa Kagyu" in all academic sources and in most sources in Tibetan and Dzongkha languages.
