Shortcuts

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.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.
  • Matthew Chizhov (currently a redirect to Matvey Chizhov) → Matvey Chizhov (move · discuss) – Unlike the contemporaneous master Fyodor Kamensky, Matvey Chizhov never worked in the US or the UK, so anglicizing his first name is certainly incorrect. Gleb95 (talk) 12:57, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The request is valid, but I wanted to point out that a search of modern web content on the artist shows predominant use of "Matthew" by not-so-reliable commentators. A more thorough Google Books search shows that "Matvey" is used more often by experts and historians. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:48, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
I agree that the title of the article should be fixed as requested, but I wonder if "goddess" is the proper disambiguator. The suggestion seems fine but there might be a guideline that I can't find. Meanwhile, this goddess could possibly receive the main Samjna namespace, which currently redirects to Samjna (concept), if the goddess is considered the primary topic. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:29, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Doomsdayer520, I did quick search on google books, and yeah, majority of results were about the goddess [2], though I don't know to determine primary in this case Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 17:54, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rn, it would be best to move the article, turn the page Samjna into a disam Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 18:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that the spelling in opening sentence of the article does not match the article title and was just changed by the nominator. What is the need for disambiguation? Is it for disambiguation with Samjna (concept)? There don't seem to be many other topics known by this name, and the spellings don't seem the same, and this topic has clear long-term notability. Examples of other topics are Vishnu and Shiva. We don't seem to feel the need to disambiguate those. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If Samjna is the most common spelling of her name, I recommend that she get the main namespace with no need for disambiguation. Thanks to millennia of religious scripture she is clearly the primary topic, notwithstanding the spelling question. After a move, we can simply add a "see also Samjna (concept)" hatnote to the top of her article and a similar one in the other direction. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:53, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Seyamar Sounds like this needs further discussion. Please click on the discuss link in your request above to open a discussion on the article's talk page, and make sure to notify Talk:Samjna (concept). --Ahecht (TALK

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
