Move back proposal

V scale (railroad model) → V scale (model railroading) – There was no reason to move the page, and no discussion took place. An editor just took it upon themselves for the supposed "good of Wikipedia" to decide what was "right" for the page, which isn't right at all. At least have a discussion about it! 98.253.4.40 (talk) 15:34, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, keep title V scale (railroad model). I did the contested move. The main argument mentioned by IP is that it was not discussed. But discussion is not a fatal requirment for a move (or for almost any edit). Indeed I did it for the "good of Wikipedia": that is what we are here for. If there are reasons to doubt my good faith, please state them.
A secondary argument is that there "was no reason to move the page". Actually I did mention my motive in the editsummary [1]. I will expand on this. clearly the title V scale needs to be disambiguated. The disambiguation term was "(model railroading)", which has a conjugated verb. My title made that verb unneeded. Following WP:NATURALDIS about how to add such a disambiguation term in brackets, the more simple form is preferred. That is why I moved the page. There even could be a better disambiguation term, but that is not proposed by IP. -DePiep (talk) 16:04, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
