This is an old revision of this page, as edited by UtherSRG (talk | contribs) at 12:18, 1 July 2023 (Technical requests: contest 1). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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: edit 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

@Hey man im josh: It should have been reverted into its redirect state. There is a long edit history from the pages' creator on this which resulted in an AfD that closed with a 'redirect' outcome. There no new significant additions that's back by sources. – robertsky (talk) 03:24, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

  • Varsity team  Varsity (move · discuss) – This is the main page on the subject. The previous page called "Varsity" has been moved to Varsity (disambiguation) as it was a disambiguation page. Mn1548 (talk) 17:06, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • The disambiguation page was moved back. There is no policy against having disambiguation pages that don't include "(disambiguation)" in their titles. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:17, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • @BarrelProof: True, there is not, but generally speaking when "topic x" has an article about it that article is called "topic x" and the page that links to similar stuff is called "topic x (disambiguation)" - that's what's going on here. The current article "Varsity" is a disambiguation page, where as the article talking about the dictionary definition of varsity is titled "Varsity team", a titles which is only applicable to the North American English definition of the word, even though it talks about the British English definition in its first section (even before I starting editing the page), as well as information about Dutch and South African varsities, also based on the British English definition. Said page is also currently tagged with "not representing a world view", and having a North American English title doesn't help. The title "Varsity" is inclusive of both British and North American English definitions. Which is why I moved "Varsity" to "Varsity (disambiguation)" to free up the title to move "Varsity team" to "Varsity". Mn1548 (talk) 15:09, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leah Isadora Behn  Leah Behn (currently a redirect back to Leah Isadora Behn) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME 12u (talk) 11:47, 29 June 2023 (UTC) 12u (talk) 11:47, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @12u: Actually, Ghits returns significantly more for the current title than the proposed one. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 12:12, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jimmy Russell  Jimmy Russell (AFL) (move · discuss) – I plan to add a page for another Jimmy Russell (James C. Russell of Wild Turkey (bourbon)) either under Jimmy Russell or adding (Wild Turkey), (Bourbon), or (Master Distiller) afterward to provide more differentiation from the current Jimmy Russell page and the other current Jimmy Russell page: Jimmy Russell (rugby league).

Until you have created the new article, the current arrangement suffice per WP:ONEOTHER. – robertsky (talk) 16:56, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@70.113.0.198:, do you have a link to the RM? I don't see it in either page's history, nor do I see any indication that an RM has occurred. EggRoll97 (talk) 01:02, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first move was done on request at this venue: Special:Diff/1129384803. This was then reverted in less than a month later, Special:Permalink/1131085516. – robertsky (talk) 01:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The previous move was done correctly and further moves without further discussion is contentious. – robertsky (talk) 01:05, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
