  • (Discuss)IcebikingWinter biking — I propose that the page be moved to the title "Winter biking"...unless I am mistaken, Winter biking refers more broadly to the various types of cycling in winter (commuting on winter roads, riding through snow, riding on ice-covered lakes), whereas "Icebiking" refers to a sub-type of winter biking: riding bikes on ice-covered ponds or lakes, using customized bikes with screw-studded tires. IMHO, the lion's share of people riding in winter are doing it on roads and snow-covered surfaces, not on ice. — OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 23:24, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

  • (Discuss)TorcidaTorcida 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).

  • (Discuss)A*TeensA-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)Chalcedonian ChristianityChalcedonianism — 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)Blind mole ratSpalax — 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 (TalkContribs) 23:56, 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)ABSA ParkHoffe 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)KrakówKrakow — 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)User:Nadine Azz1Malaysia Development Berhad — This article was prepared in my user page, as my first attempt was speedily deleted because I obviously was not very well-versed with Wiki rules and styles when I first came up with this article. And I also had a taboo user ID. I have since made several edits to this article, and included some of the latest references which I obtained via news coverage. So I hope this article is ready to go live. Please advise me if otherwise. Thank you — Nadine Azz (talk) 07:21, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
