Revision as of 04:11, 3 October 2007
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 Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.
Misplaced Pages: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
ShortcutsSeparate 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 Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion.
- Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion.
- Renaming an image or other file – see Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself. - Merging two articles – make a request at Misplaced Pages:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Splitting an article – make a request at Misplaced Pages:Proposed article splits, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Misplaced Pages:Requests for history merge.
- Contesting a move request close – use the Misplaced Pages:Move review process.
Undiscussed moves
ShortcutsAutoconfirmed 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 here proposals that are needed to be 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 and use {{subst:WP:RM2|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 relist it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.
- Sharr Mountain Dog → Šarplaninac — To fix this article's duplication and allow for a proper naming discussion to take place. (I can't move it myself because the redirect has now an edit history.
Short history:
- 23 July 2003: the article is created as Sarplaninac.
- 16 January 2006: the article is moved to Šarplaninac.
- 09:32, 26 September 2007: the article is moved to Sarplaninac(Ilyrian Shepherd) by User:Dobermannp, without any discussion and creating double redirects.
- 09:37, 26 September 2007: the article is moved to Sharr Mountain Dog by User:Dobermannp, without any discussion. — This is the article's current place.
- ...but now the duplication is created:
- 09:46, 26 September 2007: the article is copy & pasted at Sarplaninac(Ilyrian Shepherd) (which had been a redirect for 9 minutes) by User:Meelosh NS, without any discussion.
- 14:03, 27 September 2007: the duplication is moved to Sharplaninac by User:Dobermannp, without any discussion. — This is the duplication's current place (although its talk page continues to be a redirect to Talk:Sharr Mountain Dog).
- I'm requesting to turn the clock back to September 25, moving the article Sharr Mountain Dog back to Šarplaninac, and merging the edit history of the Sharplaninac duplication - or just deleting it as an almost exact deplication, since I believe that there's nothing worth preserving at the current Sharplaninac.
- I would prefer for a proper naming discussion to take place at Šarplaninac instead of at the article's current location (Sharr Mountain Dog) for three reasons:
- Due process: the moves were done without any discussion whatsoever.
- It's the simplest way of fixing all the double redirects (compare Whatlinkshere/Sharplaninac with Whatlinkshere/Sharr Mountain Dog).
- It's the name that I found when doing internet searches:
- Google Books: Šarplaninac dog: 7, Sarplaninac dog: 5, Sharplaninac: 0 & "Sharr Mountain Dog": 1.
- Google Scholar: Šarplaninac dog: 0, Sarplaninac dog: 10, Sharplaninac: 2 & "Sharr Mountain Dog": 1.
- Amazon.com: Šarplaninac dog: 0, Sarplaninac dog: 13, Sharplaninac: 1 & "Sharr Mountain Dog": 1.
- I'm sorry for the length of this post. Thanks already, Ev 04:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Incomplete and contested proposals
- Prague Philharmonic Orchestra → Prague Philharmonia - revert move done in error (these are two different orchestras) Inwind 05:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I made the revert-move; but Google search for the two names "Prague Philharmonic Orchestra" and "Prague Philharmonia" showed a confusing scenario cluttered with pages selling music and other irrelevantia, and more discussion is needed as to which information on the page Prague Philharmonic Orchestra correctly refers to which orchestra. Anthony Appleyard 08:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Overlord (Transformers) → Gigatron (Masterforce) — Not sure what happened here. It was listed on this page when the request was first made, but someone must have removed it. There is already some discussion on the talk page, so perhaps it just needs to be relisted? PC78 21:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Other proposals
Please use the correct template: see the instructions above. Do not attempt to copy and paste formatting from another listing. |
October 02, 2007
- Recurring decimal → Repeating decimal —(Discuss)— More standard terminology. —Jim 21:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hit the Lights (band) → Hit the Lights —(Discuss)— Hit the Lights is a Metallica song which was just converted to a redirect to the album Kill 'Em All per this AfD. This band page should now be moved into that slot, and perhaps an otheruses can be put at the top of the band page for the song/album. —Chubbles 21:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Azure (color) → Azure —(Discuss)— For logical progression of concept —ENeville 15:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
This move would also require moving Azure → Azure (tincture) (or a similar modified name). The proposed structure would reflect the most logical progression of concept, with information on the color (generally) found at azure, and the article on the heraldic tincture available as more specific information. Currently, azure directs to the article on the tincture, even though such information is clearly a subset of information on the color generally. (Note: there has been debate on whether the tincture article should be separate from the article on the color generally, and this move can be implemented independently of that decision). ENeville 15:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Chikyuu Boueigun 2 → Earth Defense Force 2 —(Discuss)— Often known under this English title —86.138.198.93 10:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Though this game is fairly obscure, the third title in the series was released on the Xbox 360 as Earth Defense Force 2017, which has lead to interest in this particular title, especially as it has since been given a European release as 'Global Defence Force'. However, it's still widely known as EDF2 or Chi.. the Japanese name. It seems more appropriate to have the available English name (which fits into a series). Some fans would doubtless disagree so I'm leaving it here for discussion. Thanks. 86.138.198.93 10:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- AutoCAD DWG → DWG —(Discuss)— DWG is the name for an important CAD data file format. The format is used by several hundred different applications (from Visio to Corel), and many of the largest software developers (including Microsoft, Oracle, and Adobe), and is not exclusive to AutoCAD by any means. Common practice is to list important file formats by their file format name. In this case, the filename extension and file format name are one in the same: DWG. The article was originally named DWG, but was changed to AutoCAD DWG earlier this year, for rather weak reasons. It should be changed back. —EvanYares 04:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Relisting. Duja► 07:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages:Avoid peacock terms → Misplaced Pages:Show, don't tell —(Discuss)— More inclusive. A.Z. 04:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Relisting. Duja► 07:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- LiveDistro → Live CD —(Discuss)— Google test - "livedistro" gets 57,700 hits on Google, "linux live cd" gets 495,000. Live CD is the most popular name, used by books such as "Live Linux CDs: Building and Customizing Bootables" by Christopher Negus and published by Prentice Hall. ZDNet, CNet and O'Reilly amongst others all use the name. LiveDistro is clearly the less popular of the two names. —Halo 15:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Relisting. Duja► 06:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- James Bertram (musician) → James Bertram —(Discuss)— I've requested to move this from James Bertram (musician) to the primary page for James Bertram. The only other James Bertram with an article is distinct since he commonly uses his middle name, James Munro Bertram. I've also added that link to the top of the article just in case. —Torc2 00:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Wigwag (railroad) → Magnetic Flagman —(Discuss)— The article as it stands now is primarily about the signal produced by Magnetic Flagman. There were two other manufacturers of similar signals and I'd like this original article to concentrate primarily on the original. "Magnetic Flagman" is currently a redirect. Since I no longer have admin rights by my own choosing, not to mention a new username, I'm at your tender mercy. Thanks much! I've been rather looking forward to perhaps restoring the FA status of this article. --PMDrive1061 06:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
October 01, 2007
- Embryo (jazz band) → Embryo (band) —(Discuss)— Recently translated from German wiki. It is the only band called Embryo with a page at current, but Embryo (band) redirects to Embryo, a disambig. —Chubbles 23:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Reparative therapy → Conversion therapy —(Discuss)— Both terms refer to the same phenomenon. Several reasons for the move: (1) "Reparative" is inherently NPOV, as it assumes that sexual orientation is something which can or should be "repaired." (2) The label "reparative" dates from 1983, but the practice of conversion therapy goes back to the late 1800s. (3) Google scholar turns up 22% more hits for conversion therapy than reparative therapy. —Fireplace 21:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox terrorist organization → Template:Infobox militant organization —(Discuss)— 'Terrorist' is a Word To Avoid according to our guidelines, and the arguably POV title is causing unnecessary trouble which could be avoided with a more neutral title. —TSP 19:30, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Carmilla, Queensland → Carmila, Queensland —(Discuss) — the placename seems incorrectly spelt, with many more Google hits for the latter name than the former — Edofedinburgh 18:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- We need an administrator to take care of this: delete Carmila and then move Carmilla to Carmila, as Edofedinburgh did a copy/paste move of the Carmilla text. Otherwise, it would be a simple redirect. Nyttend 20:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Līhu'e, Hawaii → Lihue, Hawaii —(Discuss)— The name without diacritics seems to be more used and is more appropriate for an English-language encyclopedia —Erudy 17:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Milnut → Milnot —(Discuss)— As mentioned in the article, Milnut has been renamed as Milnot as early as 1939, and the brand's website proved it. Moreover, Milnot is still existant, and a casual Google search turned out with 21k hits. Even Milnut is more known in legal circles, the case has been covered in United States v. Carolene Products Co. —Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 15:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Renaissance Man (disambiguation) → Renaissance Man —(Discuss)— create as primary disambiguation —-- Alan Liefting talk 04:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC) -- Alan Liefting talk 04:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Zale → Zale (band) —(Discuss)— So Zale can redirect to better-known Zale Corporation or a disambiguation page; Zale is a Romanian band of unclear significance, apparently unmentioned in English-language news.google.com archives —Agyle 04:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (ButI Like It) → It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)-(Discuss)-The song title has a typo, but Misplaced Pages won't allow the name change the "move" way because apparently the new page already exists (it doesn't). Thank you. ChrisStupak 03:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Argus Rentals → Argus Car Hire —(Discuss)— I'd like to request that this article, Argus Rentals, be moved to Argus Car Hire. The reason that I'm requesting it, rather than just moving it, is because Argus car hire (note capitalization) has been created (not by me) and speedily deleted, appropriately, four times recently. My reasoning for the move is as follows. Argus Rentals is a subsidiary of Argus Car Hire. While Argus Rentals has existed since 1996, Argus Car Hire, the parent organization, has been in business since 1959 and, through their subsidiaries, have grown to a notable size (rentals in UK in addition to rental brokering globally). I would like to expand the article, once moved, to include a historical account of Argus Car Hire, much like the articles on The Hertz Corporation and Budget Rent a Car, however I feel this would be inappropriate to do in the Argus Rentals article. Thanks! —Ioeth 15:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
September 30, 2007
- México (state) → State of Mexico-(Discuss)-First of all it has an accent, and the English language has no accents, second of all, I don't know who named the article but the name is ambiguous, everyone knows it under the name of State of Mexico (Estado de México in Spanish), precisely so I wouldn't be confused with the name of the country, therefore the name of the article should be State of Mexico, in fact everything within the article (but the title) uses that name, thank you. Supaman89 00:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- National Highway System (United States) → National Highway System—(Discuss)—There is no ambiguity — only one "National Highway System" has an article. Undiscussed move was made despite previous consensus against it and the target is blocked by a dubious disambiguation page. — AjaxSmack 22:12, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Absentee Shawnee Indian Reservation → Absentee-Shawnee Tribe of Indians—(Discuss)—The current Absentee Shawwnee Indian Reservation article is about the tribe and not their former reservation. Originally, the article redirected to Shawnee but now that re-direct was blanked, and two other redirects were edited to re-direct to the Absentee-Shawnee Tribe article. All that is now needed is the renaming of the reservation article to the specific tribe.—CJLippert 21:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Paula Campbell (singer) → Paula Campbell —(Discuss)— "Paula Campbell" currently redirects to List of minor EastEnders characters (2003), and refers to a character who appeared on the show for four days. This page's Paula Campbell is the much more likely search target. —Chubbles 18:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Lekhraj Kripalani → Dada Lekhraj —(Discuss)— Most likely search term according to WP:COMMONNAME. —Bksimonb 15:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Capsule of Ténon → Tenon's capsule —(Discuss)— shouldn't have the é —Hovea 14:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging → ISTJ —(Discuss)— Should be moved to conform with the titling style of all other articles in Category:MBTI types. All of these use the acronym forms of the MBTI types, and, moreover, "ISTJ" currently redirects to "Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging." —Severa (!!!) 10:12, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007 → Matthew Shepard Act —(Discuss)— It's how people call it. A.Z. 08:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Solar power → Solar energy —(Discuss)— Should Solar power be renamed Solar energy? 199.125.109.43 20:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- DJ Lance Rock → Lance Robertson —(Discuss)— Proper Name and I inadvertently created the Redirect for Lance Robertson to DJ Lance Rock Prior to Moving the page. —00:12, 30 September 2007 (UTC)Slysplace |
September 29, 2007
- Premier of the Republic of China → President of the Executive Yuan -(Discuss) The current name is not official or common. While some people disagree with using Premier of Taiwan (which is the most common name), the President of the Executive Yuan is the official title, and no one disagrees with using it.--Jerry 23:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Deal or No Deal (Malta) → Deal or No Deal -(Discuss) this page should be moved because it can be listed under the international versions of Deal or No Deal. Icestorm815 22:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- This is a merge request, not a move request. — AjaxSmack 22:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- Kanryō Higaonna → Higaonna Kanryō —(Discuss)— per MOS:JA#Names of historical figures. He was born before 1868. —Nightshadow28 17:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Iron Maiden → Iron Maiden (band) —(Discuss)— see talk page —Reginmund 17:06, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Numb3rs → Numbers (TV series) —(Discuss)— Despite the way the title card is written, the show name is still called Numbers. —Wikipedian 11:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Nobel Prize in Economics → Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel —(Discuss)— The title proposed is correct - some talk on page already —Wikidea 10:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Lâtife Uşaklıgil → Latife Uşşaki —(Discuss)— Latife Hanım's surname after 1934 was not Uşaklıgil. While some members of her large family (notably the novelist Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil) took the surname Uşaklıgil and her parents chose Uşşaklı, Atatürk personally intervened for Latife to be named Uşşaki. Therefore, while she is almost exclusively known as Latife Hanım (Ms. Latife) in Turkey, it is more appropriate to title the article as Latife Uşşaki, as per Turkish wikipedia and this reference from The Independent (where she is refered to as Ussaki, without the Turkish letters).

September 28, 2007
- Dhingri → Tingri —(Discuss)— Tingri is the commonly-used spelling of the name of this town and also approximates more closely the local pronunciation of the name. There has been some discussion of this already on the Dhingri Disscussion page —John Hill 22:51, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Multilateral Development Bank → Multilateral development bank —(Discuss)— This phrase is not a proper noun and should not be capitalized. —Foobaz·o< 19:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- The Church of Jesus Christ → ? —(Discuss)— The current title is very generic; many denominations have similar names or otherwise could be referred to, so the title should redirect to a disambiguation page. Unfortunately, the choice of parenthetical disambiguator is not clear, but the page should clearly be moved somewhere. This move is related to this category renaming discussion. —SnowFire 17:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Soobak → Subak —(Discuss)— WP:MOS-KO requires that non-loanwords be romanized using Revised Romanization. Since most people have never heard of subak, and wouldn't know what it is, it is not a loanword (unlike judo and taekwondo, for example, which are loanwords). Using revised romanization, "수박" should be romanized as "subak". Therefore, the page should be moved to Subak. I would have done it without making a formal request, but an admin is needed to move it. —Bradford44 13:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- North Briton → North Britain —(Discuss)— To incorporate more information on the matter (in relation to both the place and its people, rather than just the latter) —Breadandcheese 03:19, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Multimove:
- Joseph Meechan → Joey Ryan — professional wrestler better known by his ring name 'Joey Ryan'. The article was created under 'Joey Ryan', but an editor moved the page because he wasn't "famous" enough to be listed by his ring name.
- Ghost Recon → Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon → Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (video game) — disambig from the series
- Rainbow Six → Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six → Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (video game) — disambig from the series
- Splinter Cell → Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
- Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell → Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (video game) — disambig from the series
- (Discuss) — These articles is about video game series under the Tom Clancy brand, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell respectively, and should be named as such. Note also that the terms Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and Slinter Cell can have other meanings then the video game series. --MrStalker 08:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

- Yangon → Rangoon —(Discuss)— Rangoon is more common in English —Reginmund 03:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support And if there are any alternate definitions, put them there, otherwise redirect.--ZXCVBNM 23:51, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Metroid (series) → Metroid universe —(Discuss)— The Metroid games aren't technically a series, since they're not in chronological order or in a specific set of places. Although they revolve around Samus, they make up a universe, not a series. —ZXCVBNM 05:11, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
September 27, 2007
- Kayqubad I → Alaeddin Keykubad I: (Discuss): Alaeddin Keykubad I is the correct form. Addressed previous concerns in the disambiguation page Alaeddin Keykubad for the three homonymous Seljuk Sultan of Rûm of the 13th century. Explained in detail in the body of that page the various forms of the name used in different sources with direct links in the footnotes. Cretanforever 22:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC) Also:
- Kayqubad II → Alaeddin Keykubad II per above.
- Kayqubad III → Alaeddin Keykubad III per above.
- Realism (international relations) → Political realism — "Political realism" is the more common name, and it is also easier to link to and more succinct. —Lucretius 20:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- W.A.S.P. (band) → W.A.S.P. —(Discuss)— Is there another W.A.S.P. I don't know about to make this ambiguous? I can't see someone searching for W.A.S.P. looking for Wasp. —Halo 14:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Morning Post → The Morning Post —(Discuss)— Conform to Wiki style: It's The New York Times, not New York Times --Ludvikus 13:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
October 2, 2007
Gracenotes gave me the normal procedure for moving a new page, with an error in the title, but it seems to have failed due to a third page not seen.
My attempt to move "National Technical Means of Verification" to "National Means of Technical Verification" was rejected, apparently because there is already a stub article "National Technical Means". I'd propose that the latter article merge into the new one, at the same time correcting the common misconception that this is simply a euphemism of reconnaissance satellites. I believe everything in that page is covered in the new one.
As my fairly extensive discussion of non-satellite MASINT techniques shows, there is much more to verification. Indeed, I probably should have added some satellite systems that are not reconnaissance in the usual definition, such as the VELA program and its successors. Howard C. Berkowitz 16:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Backlog
Move dated sections here after five days have passed.
