February 17, 2010

(Discuss) — List of academic institutions in Albania → List of universities in Albania — To make this article more similar to the Category: Lists_of_universities_and_colleges_in_Europe. sulmues (sulmues) —Sulmues 21:42, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Ireland Collaboration → Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Ireland Naming debate — Can you please indicate your support or not for this move . This is not a Collaboration , it's a naming debate.There has been 0 collaboration done here. It doesn't do what other collaborations such as Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject British-Irish Collaboration do or intend to do and WP:DUCK . —Gnevin (talk) 20:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Rugby union in the Ukraine → Rugby union in Ukraine — Ukraine is the name of the country, not the Ukraine. See Sport in Ukraine, Economy of Ukraine, etc. —84.92.117.93 (talk) 13:38, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Conservation genetics → Genetic conservation — The accurate name of the subject is "genetic conservation" to remain consistent with naming conventions for concise titles. — RW Marloe (talk) 12:47, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Graphene oxide → Graphite oxide — Expert opinion (see above) is that the proper name of the material is "graphite oxide". The move is blocked because of non-trivial edit history in the latter. —Jorge Stolfi (talk) 10:50, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Man and Biosphere Reserve Programme → Man and the Biosphere Programme — According to this, the name is "Man and the Biosphere Programme". What's it doing at the present title?--Kotniski (talk) 09:41, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Indian Institute of Technology Rupnagar → Indian Institute of Technology Ropar — This is the correct name for the Institution as in the official web page that is listed right here; heck, even the logo here shows this name only. —Iitmsriram (talk) 08:39, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Attribution of recent climate change → Anthropogenic climate change — The title is vague. What is meant by recent? A better title would be Anthropogenic climate change with a redir from the commonly used term Anthropogenic global warming. Article titles should be descriptive, reflect common usage and define boundaries of the topic. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 04:28, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" → Academy of Music "Hanns Eisler" — to use the English-language name listed at http://www.hfmberlin.de/en/Homepage.html , per WP:COMMONNAME. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Hochschule für Musik und Theater München → University for Music and Performing Arts, Munich — to use the English-language name listed in the article, per WP:COMMONNAME. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Hochschule für Musik "Carl Maria von Weber" → "Carl Maria von Weber" College of Music — to use the English-language name listed in the article, per WP:COMMONNAME. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:27, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Laws of the Game → Laws of association football — There is an article for another sport (rugby league) that titles its rules the Laws of the Game. There are also several other sports and meanings that use "Laws of the Game". I think a disambiguation page is in order. LunarLander // talk // 02:10, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Panda Mazi → Panta Mazi — * Support. According to WP:GREEK guidelines on converting consonant cluster "ντ", it would either be "Panta Mazi" or "Pada Mazi". "Panta Mazi" is the best solution of the two, as it directly translates from Greek. Greekboy (talk) 00:54, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Pholidichthys leucotaenia → Pholidichthys — Should this page be moved to the plain genus name, as there is only one species (monotypy)? Most living monotypic genera not at common names (none exist here) are at the full specie title, and Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (fauna) still advises this, but genus names seem to be favoured now (see Talk:Caecilita). —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 00:12, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

February 16, 2010

(Discuss) — Torcida → Torcida organizada — The term "torcida", in Brazil, is merely the designation of all the fans of any sport club, not only football clubs. The term "torcida organizada" is what this article talks about, the formal associations of fans from a certain football club, like Mancha Verde, Gaviões da Fiel, etc. See, for example, the interwikis of Portuguese Misplaced Pages (the brazilian language) pt:Torcida (in Portugal, is merely known as "claque" or "claque de apoio") and pt:Torcida organizada (known in Portugal as pt:Ultras). Kleiner (talk) 21:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — COLD (novel) → Cold (novel) — WP:ALLCAPS, the capitalisation is stylistic only. —84.92.117.93 (talk) 16:53, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Albuquerque, New Mexico → Albuquerque — Relisting as this was not listed on WP:RM until today. Note that Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (geographic names)#United States is relevant to this proposal. Ucucha 15:53, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Northern Mindanao State Institute of Science and Technology → Caraga State University — Philippine Republic Act 9854 - This educational institution has been coverted into university. http://www.senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/ra%209854.pdf JinJian (talk) 11:21, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- Northern Mindanao State Institute of Science and Technology – Cabadbaran → Caraga State University - Cabadbaran

(Discuss) — Équinoxe → Equinoxe — Equinoxe should be listed without accent, see here a well researched list of releases: http://www.discogs.com/Jean-Michel-Jarre-Equinoxe/master/49172 User:E-Kartoffel 10:53, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Mrs. O'Leary's Cow (song) → Mrs. O'Leary's Cow (instrumental) — Per Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (music)#Bands, albums and songs. Jafeluv (talk) 10:50, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Cavatina (song) → Cavatina (composition) — These compositions are instrumentals, not songs. We disambiguate instrumentals with either "(instrumental)" or "(composition)", according to the guideline. Jafeluv (talk) 10:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — ] → David Wilson (English footballer) —
- David Wilson (footballer born 1884) → David Wilson (Scottish footballer)
- Dave Wilson (footballer) → Dave Wilson (footballer born 1944)

(Discuss) — Brigham Young University – University of Utah rivalry → Utah–BYU rivalry — Koavf changed the name of the article without discussing it — at least I have not seen the relevant discussion. The name has gotten a lot longer. I believe this change is a step backward. Misplaced Pages:Article titles#Common names recommends calling an article by its most common name. Several examples are listed: Bill Clinton not "William Jefferson Clinton" or Hulk Hogan not "Terry Gene Bollea". The article had operated under its old name for nearly four years without confusion or anyone suggesting the name be changed. In my opinion, "Utah—BYU rivalry" is a better name because rarely are the full names of the universities used in the athletics context. Also, most other college atheletic rivalry pages do NOT use the full name of the universities involved: see, e.g., Notre Dame – USC rivalry, Michigan – Ohio State football rivalry, or Florida – Florida State football rivalry. Consequently, I am requesting a revert of the name change. If you disagree, state your reason here and try and build a consensus. (Which is the way the name change should have been done in the first place: see Misplaced Pages:Consensus). And a brief look at Koavf's talk page suggests he has a habit of changing article names without discussion. —Ute in DC (talk) 09:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Genesis creation myth → Creation according to Genesis — This is the article's original title. It was changed to its current title after being discussed by only a couple of editors. The old title, unlike the current one, is npov in many people's opinion. It also appears to be the consensus title (See posts above). — 76.253.103.218 (talk) 02:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago → Santiago Stock Exchange — I think the commonly used English-language name would be better for English-language Misplaced Pages. See comments in "Article name" section of the talk page. — Relisting Ronhjones 00:45, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

February 15, 2010

(Discuss) — Outline of the Palestinian territories → Outline of Palestine — Requesting article be moved back to previous name (Outline of Palestine). The move was contested, and even though there was no consensus on the matter (please see the move discussion), User:Ucucha went ahead and did the move anyway. This clearly should have been closed "no consensus" per WP:RM. -— Jrtayloriv (talk) 23:47, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Airraptor (Transformers) → Airraptor — A short reason for page name change. User:71.94.249.50 21:46, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Trocadero (London) → London Trocadero — The current name of the complex, used on their website, A London Guide, Visit London and most other assorted tourist guides, media, publicity and so forth, as well as references and external links within this article. —84.92.117.93 (talk) 21:36, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Atys father of Lydus → Atys (king of Maeonia) — Relisted. There is consensus that the current title is inappropriate, but no consensus yet whether it should be moved to Atys (king of Maeonia) or Atys of Maeonia. Ucucha 16:25, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Do You Want More?!!!??! → Do You Want More? — Relisted. No clear consensus so far whether we want the title to end with ?, ?!, or ?!!!??!. Please indicate your opinion on each of those. Ucucha 16:16, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — 'S Out → 's Out — Capitalisation. The title is short for "Bottom's Out", so a lower-case "s" makes more sense than upper case. This is consistent with the episode 's Up. Interplanet Janet (talk) 14:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Popfax (internet fax service) → Popfax — No apparent reason for the disambiguation since there is no Popfax article (I thought this was uncontroversial but when I went ahead and did it I was reverted). —Cassandra 73 (talk) 12:26, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid → Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (film) — - They were also actual living people and this article deals with some film 193.166.138.183 (talk) 11:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Mario → Mario (character) — While the most famous video game character, I don't see why Mario should be in the main namespace rather than Mario (disambiguation). Link from the Legend of Zelda isn't located at the Link article, so why is Mario at the Mario article? What happens when a person named Mario looks up their name, only to find that the most famous example is a cartoon plumber and not the other major historical "Marios"?—_{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 06:24, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Anno II (Archbishop of Cologne) → Anno II, Archbishop of Cologne — :Why have the parentheses? We can disambiguate just as well without them. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:58, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — A*Teens → A-Teens — Per MOS:TM, article titles should "avoid using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration, or simply substitute for English words." The asterisk in this group name is used solely for decoration. The official website title uses a hyphen, as well as Allmusic. Note that the articles of other groups that use asterisks to stylize the group name, like N*E*R*D and *NSYNC, are not stylized as such (N.E.R.D and 'N Sync). — ξ 04:09, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — SmashBurger → smashburger — The official title of the brand is not capitalized. —63.133.160.240 (talk) 01:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Marine angelfish group → Pomacanthidae — Changing name to conform to WikiProject Fishes naming standards. There are multiple fish groups known as angelfish, so we should use the family name. —] (talk) 01:26, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Kangan Batman TAFE → Kangan Institute — Organisation rebranding and changing its name. —JBatman (talk) 00:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

February 14, 2010

(Discuss) — James Davíd Rodríguez → James Rodríguez — No need for the middle name, which is spelled incorrectly since the I in David is not accented in Spanish. "James Rodríguez" currently is a redirect to James Roday since that is his real name, although it is unlikely that actor is know by his real name or it is spelled with an accent in Rodriguez. —Digirami (talk) 23:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Daśāvatāra → Dashavatara — Relisted. Ucucha 17:55, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- Vyavahāra → Vyavahara
- Vyākaraṇa → Vyakarana
- Bhaṭṭikāvya → Bhattikavya
- Iṣṭa-devatā → Ishta-devata
- Kaśmir Śaivism → Kashmir Shaivism
- ] → ]

(Discuss) — Hans von Kaltenborn → H. V. Kaltenborn — Unsigned move request added by Pepso2 (talk · contribs) . Ucucha 17:53, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Tangled (film) → Tangled (film) — It was announced on Facebook today that the film will be called "Tangled". - 81.111.114.131 (talk) 15:45, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — TomTsuchiya → NewName — Name should be changed to Tom Tsuchiya. Reason: typographical error: no space between names. —Cf6-50 (talk) 13:36, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — The European → The European (newspaper) — I don't believe the 1990's newspaper is an obvious primary meaning over the 1950's magazine. The primary article should therefore be the dab page. Tevildo (talk) 10:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- The European (disambiguation) → The European

(Discuss) — Fire Like This (Blood Red Shoes album) → Fire Like This — * latter page redirects to the song article (all links to this page have been edited to reflect the redirect). The album article is more detailed and noteworthy in terms of artist popularity, success and media recognition. Feudonym (talk) 10:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC) Feudonym (talk) 10:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — The Vampire Diaries (novel series) → The Vampire Diaries — * The latter is a disambiguation page that only contains two pages. Therefore, one of the articles can become the main article, and a hatnote can be added to the top of the article to point to the other. Gary King (talk) 07:23, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Memphis (disambiguation) → Memphis — Currently two main subjects using the name "Memphis":# Memphis, Egypt, an ancient Egyptian capital; an UNESCO World Heritage Site.# Memphis, Tennessee, a city in the United States.Memphis currently redirects to the second. Previous discussions on the Memphis talk page have concluded that there is no single primary topic. Multiple moves either way have recurred in the past, as can be seen in the move log and revision histories. Night w (talk) 05:39, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Chalcedonian Christianity → Chalcedonianism — All other articles about a system of Christian thought appear to be in the latter format: "Catholicism", "Eutychianism", "Nestorianism", "Apollinarianism", "Pelagianism", "Unitarianism", "Non-Chalcedonianism", etc. I cannot really think of any others that take the form of "______ Christianity" except for "Orthodox Christianity", and that is obviously done for the purpose of distinguishing from Orthodox Judaism. —Deusveritasest (talk) 04:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Other nationalities rugby league team → Other Nationalities rugby league team — With evidence noted above supporting "Other Nationalities" being a name/brand rather than a description, the 'n' should be capitalised. LunarLander // talk // 03:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Misplaced Pages:Local Embassy → Misplaced Pages:Local embassy — "Embassy" is not a proper noun and for that reason, it shouldn't be capitalized. It's even de-capped everywhere on the page itself. --The Evil IP address (talk) 02:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Up in the Air (film) → Up in the Air — Hi, wanted to move this page over to the "main page" for this name, as the film has become more commonly known than the book it is based on. I have already moved the article for the book to Up in the Air (book), but I can't move this article, because the destination name is already taken. Don't know how to undo the first move either for that matter. Hope someone can help. —TheFreeloader (talk) 02:18, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

February 13, 2010

(Discuss) — Bolko von Richthofen (archaeologist) → Bolko von Richthofen — Per above, only one notable person of this name, so should be at primary page. The disambiguation page could then be moved to Bolko von Richthofen (disambiguation) —Boleyn2 (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Deacon → Diaconate — I really don't see why men and women should be on two different articles, with "diaconate" only directing to the men Newman Luke (talk) 21:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Earp's family → Earp family — The move would correct the shortened name over an existing redirect. I moved the page from Wyatt Earp's family to defocus the article, since several members of the family are notable, and because Wyatt kept being listed as one of his own siblings. —Evb-wiki (talk) 15:55, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Mount Bromo → Tengger Caldera — Mount Bromo is merely a feature of Tengger caldera.. —Guanlong wucaii 15:02, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Iraqi security forces → Iraqi Security Forces — Relisted. Several proposed article titles have been mentioned above; please indicate your preferences. Ucucha 14:49, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Kaithapram Namboothiri → Kaithapram Damodaran Namboothiri — Full Name of the artist. He is known either by Kaithapram or Kaithapram Damodaran Namboothiri. Since Kaithapram is his birthplace name to avoid confusion better move the title of the article to Kaithapram - Damodaran Namboothiri Anoopan (talk) 13:18, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Regina, Crown Princess of Austria → Princess Regina of Saxe-Meiningen — The titles of articles about deceased princesses usually (almost always actually) use their pre-marital royal title. Therefore, the article should be moved in order to be consistent with other related articles. Surtsicna (talk) 11:56, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Death Is Forever → Death is Forever — The rules of capitalization suggest this should be "Death is Forever", the title this article used to carry. Also, Ian Fleming Publications and all uses I can find in the publications themselves (barring the all-caps on the covers) use "Death is Forever". Any objections to moving the title? Rhindle The Red (talk) 07:22, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Convenience devocalization → Debarking — Current title is obscure and not widely used. Should move to Debarking (or Devocalization if a more inclusive title is warranted) —Dodo bird (talk) 05:19, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Conversation piece (paintings) → Conversation piece — Conversation Piece (disambiguation) covers the musical, song & book titles derived from this term. There is no other meaning for the uncapitalized term & this is clearly the main one for both capitalizations. —Johnbod (talk) 04:36, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Great Britain at the Olympics → Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the Olympics — The name of the team has been confirmed by the reference given in the article. The article was renamed and without discussion from 'Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the Summer Olympics' to 'Great Britain at the Olympics' under the false guise of WP:OLY, which justified only renaming the article to 'Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the Olympics'. Hence, it should be renamed to 'Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the Olympics'. Bastin 04:36, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — User:Dishcmds/draft → Wormrot — I am an unconfirmed user and would like this finished draft moved. Dishcmds (talk) 02:34, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

February 12, 2010

(Discuss) — Blind mole rat → Spalax — The common name "blind mole rat" is ambiguous, so this page should be at the scientific name. Blind mole rat sometimes refers particularly to one species, S. ehrenbergii, and "fossorial mole rat" and "subterranean mole rat" also seem to be in use for this genus. (And, on a footnote, none of these are good descriptive terms.) Spalax (record company) is not very important: it is a small specialist recording company wheras these rodents are as common and visible as rabbits in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The record company page has been viewed 63 times (partly myself and others discussing these rodents) against 597 for this page (This is in February 2010). —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 23:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — For You (Ricky Nelson song) → For You (1933 song) — Songs are typically disambiguated either by original performer (for more recent songs) or by original year of publication (for older ones). These are two objective criteria that avert arguments about which version is most significant, popular, etc. The article should be located at (1933 song), not dabbed by identifying it with a particular later performer.—ShelfSkewed Talk 16:13, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Sv. Uspenie Bogorodichno Church, Targovishte → Dormition of the Theotokos Church, Targovishte — Unification - Name Convention - preferably in English. I would like to change the titles of the coexistent REDIRECTing page with this one.--MrPanyGoff (talk) 16:00, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Noynoy Aquino → Benigno Aquino III — Noynoy Aquino should be moved again to Benigno Aquino III. "Noynoy Aquino" isn't that common outside of the Philippines. I request a vote on this issue if possible. -- Abfall-Reiniger (talk) 09:42, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Template:Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area → Template:Inland Empire (California) — Per above discussion, especially Misplaced Pages:Article titles#Common names, and for consistency with article name. Probably better to move template in line with article name, as any sources related to naming will be in the Inland Empire (California) article, and not in this navigation template. If further moves are needed the same general conventions will likely apply and to rename the article, nav template, and category as a group. -Optigan13 (talk) 04:42, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Ragnarok Online DS → Ragnarok DS — The official English title does not have the word "Online" (and it is not MMO)SYSS Mouse (talk) 03:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — 67th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade → 67th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade (United States) — replacing current duplicate article at the target page. Making request for User:Rdhclark per this request at EAR. Reasoning is: I created the latter page in an effort to bring the page into the standard listing of such pages, see: "58th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade (United States)." The page, ""67th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade" needs to be either deleted or renamed to replace "67th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade (United States)." Basically, there are two of the same page and someone needs to correct the situation. – ukexpat (talk) 01:46, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — List of incurable diseases → List of diseases with no known cure — This would be a more accurate name. —Tisane (talk) 01:44, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Snowmageddon → ? — I'm completely open to suggestions on this, but we should come up with a more generic name for this article. The article itself is about at least both "snowmageddon" and "snowpocalypse" right now, but there's also "snOMG" and "kaizersnowze" (which I've just added as similar terms in use). "snowmageddon", at least, has prior usage, and the article includes a description of that. I'm fairly sure that "snowpocalypse" has prior usage as well, but the Post has definitely popularized that in the last few days. "snOMG" and "kaizersnowze" are really more neologisms which recently came into use due to the Washington Post poll on "the term they should use", which is referenced in the article as well. Anyway, I'm all ears for suggestions here.

(Discuss) — Abilene Christian University Wildcats → Abilene Christian Wildcats — All other university athletics articles use a naming convention that does not mention the term "university". Examples are: Houston Cougars and Texas Longhorns. External media sources such as ESPN refer to the team as "Abilene Christian Wildcats": Example. —Brian Reading (talk) 22:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Wahi (Web Automated Human Interaction) → Wahi — I want to move this out of the userspace, but the name Wahi is already in use. I believe the Wahi technology information may be more user-relevant than the Swahili definition for "wahy." Thanks for your help Techmedia (talk) 18:54, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Women's five nations 1999 → 1999 Women's Five Nations Championship — Standardise all these differently formatted articles and bring them in line with the parent article, Women's Six Nations Championship. The changes include capatalising the titles, placing the year before the competition name, and adding the word "Championship" for the 1999-2006 competitions; removing the name of the sponser RBS for the 2007-9 articles, and replacing "6" with "Six" for the 2007-10 articles.

(Discuss) — ABSA Park → Hoffe Park Stadium — This stadium is no longer called ABSA Park, as the sponsership from ABSA has ended. It is currently called GWK Park, also for sponsership reasons. I propose that the article be moved to 'Hoffe Park Stadium', as that is the stadiums 'non-sponspered' name. This is because sponserships often change, and stadium articles should be listed at their common names. I would include the fact that GWK is a title sponser in the article though.I will wait 7 days before moving the page, any support or objections should be logged here.

(Discuss) — Cleopatra VII → Cleopatra VII of Egypt — This would be consistent with both Misplaced Pages naming conventions (see WP:NCROY) and the treatment of other Cleopatras (see Cleopatra (disambiguation)).

(Discuss) — Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (categories) → Misplaced Pages:Category titles — With the rename of Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions to Misplaced Pages:Article titles, this page should follow.

(Discuss) — Kraków → Krakow — Disagreement on the talk page over whether to name the page Kraków or Cracow or Krakow without the accent mark. Seems to me that editors need to agree on the common name reliable English language sources (WP:UE), and using Google indicates that "Krakow" without the accent mark is the most common, in reliable English language sources. —PBS (talk) 23:58, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Diadem → Diadem (disambiguation) — to allow Diadem (personal wear) to take the plain name, with of course an "other uses" hatnote to here. As shown by "what links here", this is by far the dominant usage of the plain name, from which all other senses are derived. None of these are really common, and nearly all have a disambiguating term in their names already. Johnbod (talk) 17:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

(Discuss) — Miracles attributed to Jesus → Miracles of Jesus — The title of this article should be consistent with other articles about miracles by person, such as Miracles of Muhammad and Miracles of Gautama Buddha.
