This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Evrik (talk | contribs) at 21:35, 20 November 2006 (→[] []). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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

• WP:NOTRM
• WP:RMNOT

Separate 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

• WP:RMUM
• WP:BOLDMOVE

Autoconfirmed 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 clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete. Things like capitalization and spelling mistakes would be appropriate here. If there is any prior discussion as to the name of the article please link to it. If there is any doubt as to whether a page move could be opposed by anyone, do not list it in this section.

Please use {{subst:WP:RM2|Old Page Name|Requested name|Reason for move}} in this section only; do not copy, paste, and edit previous entries. No dated sections are necessary, and no templates on the article's talk page are necessary.

If your request was not fulfilled, and was removed from this section, please relist it in the other proposals section below.

• François-Adrien Boïeldieu -> François-Adrien Boieldieu, seems to be the correct spelling (see talk page). Aviad2001 10:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• Queen's Road station → Queens Road station — Most of the Disambiguation page's entries are without the apostrophe. Queens Road station is a redirect. —Simply south 14:41, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• Prodigal Daughter → Prodigal Daughter (DS9 episode) — Changes title to coincide with the vast majority of other DS9 episodes. —JPG-GR 21:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Other proposals

Make sure that all of the proposals listed below have a discussion set up on talk page of the article to be moved. Please use the template {{subst:Misplaced Pages:RM}} and, if necessary, create a new dated section.

Please use the correct template: see the instructions above. Do NOT attempt to copy and paste formatting from another listing.

20 November 2006

• Mission San Antonio de Pala → San Antonio de Pala Asistencia —(Discuss)— —evrik  21:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC) The church is misnamed, and was not a mission. --evrik  21:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Voodoo Kin Mafia → New Age Outlaws —(Discuss)— The page was moved and the old page edited so this can't be moved back by me. New Age Outlaws is the name this team is most known as and most famous as. They only changed their name to Voodoo Kin Mafia 3 days ago. It's the same reason that Hawk and Animal are listed as the Road Warriors instead of Legion of Doom. —TJ Spyke 01:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Cablevision (US) → Cablevision —(Discuss)— The U.S. Cablevision is an internationally recognized company, owner of not only cable systems in the NYC area, but also internationally distributed cable and satellite networks and iconic venues Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall. Here are all the articles that link to Cablevision, with the U.S. company in mind. All other companies called Cablevision (and there are more than the small Canadian company currently listed) could be listed on Cablevision (disambiguation). Milchama 14:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

19 November 2006

• Take along Thomas & Friends → Take Along Thomas and Friends —(Discuss)— Incorrect capitalization in the current title, and the correct one is a redirect. —Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 23:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• Persian Gulf Arab States → Arab Gulf states —(Discuss)— "Arab Gulf states" is the more correct term. It does NOT imply that the "Persian Gulf" is called the "Arab Gulf", but points to the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. Google produces far more results for "Arab Gulf states" (88,000 vs 600). There are also several scholarly books by experts (eg Gregory Gause) who refer to them as "Arab Gulf states" (see Persian Gulf Arab States#Further reading) —Jungli 19:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• International broadcasting in Japan → NHK World —(Discuss)— "NHK World" is the only existing "International broadcasting in Japan", and this article already talks about "NHK World" only. —Endroit 15:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Moya → Moya (Farscape) —(Discuss)— looking over the Moya (disambiguation) page, I have a hard time believing the Farscape character is the most notable "Moya." Moya should be a dab page. —The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 12:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• Moya (disambiguation) → Moya —(Discuss)— see above —The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 12:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• CVN 78 → CVN-78 and CVN 79 → CVN-79 - Requested move to conform to US ship naming standards for hull numbers -- see CVN-80. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 05:54, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion → Hec Edmundson Pavilion - Most common name: "Hec Edmundson Pavilion" 18k hits, "Hec Ed" 13k hits, "Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion" 350 hits. 24.19.35.187 05:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• Rift (Whoniverse) → The Rift —(Discuss)— Whoniverse is simple a fannish term, and the disambig can be avoided as it has been simply referred to as "The Rift". —MatthewFenton (talk • contribs • count • email) 22:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

18 November 2006

• Bardock (Dragon Ball) → Bardock -(Discuss)- Someone moved Bardock to Burdock (Dragon Ball Z) awhile ago, then I moved the page to Burdock (Dragon Ball) to fit in with the other pages. Someone else changed Bardock to redirect to Bardock (Dragon Ball Z), then to Bardock (Dragon Ball), then Burdock (Dragon Ball). The original move was made without a concensus, so it was moved to Bardock (Dragon Ball) due to not being able to move it to Bardock. Takuthehedgehog 23:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Airline destinations → Misplaced Pages:Airline destination lists —(Discuss)— Since this page is intended primarily as a guideline, it should be moved to project space —DB (talk) 20:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC) DB (talk) 20:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Gravitational radiation → Gravitational wave —(Discuss)— (Relisting) The article is primarily about the waves, rather than the radiation they carry with them. The title should really deal with the main content of the article. Currently, most pages link to "gravitational wave" or "gravitational waves", which just redirects to "gravitational radiation". —MOBle 19:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Min Nan → Minnan —(Discuss)— Correct pinyin spelling rules. —  AjaxSmack  08:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Min Bei → Minbei
  • Min Dong → Mindong
    • Mindong → Mindong (region) (to disambiguate from above)
  • Min Zhong → Minzhong

• Malcolm Davies → Malcolm Davis —(Discuss)— Revert undiscussed and unjustified move to a spelling different from that used in article —Gene Nygaard 20:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Relisting to gain a better consensus. -- tariqabjotu 06:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• National Portrait Gallery (London) → National Portrait Gallery (United Kingdom) —(Discuss)— Standard for NPG articles to disambiguate by country, not city, and this move would revert back to the articlespace occupied for ca. 2.5 years until recent move. There is no need to disambiguate between NPG (UK) and Scottish National Portrait Gallery (per the intent of the move) since the names and roles of the two galleries are not consonent anyway. There is a need to disambig. between the NPG (UK) and other institutions with identical names across the world, which the current title does not adequately do. —Badgerpatrol 12:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• Relisting to gain a better consensus. -- tariqabjotu 06:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• STS-3xx → Launch On Need —(Discuss)— Should use official NASA terminology instead of current name, which is not the flight designation anyway. —GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 13:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Relisting to gain a better consensus. -- tariqabjotu 06:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Samuel Francis du Pont → Samuel F. Du Pont —(Discuss)— Most common usage, and also his usage, as cited in the capitalization example in the U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual, section 3.14 —Gene Nygaard 07:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Relisting to gain a better consensus. -- tariqabjotu 06:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Discussion page - discussion/voting is here on the talk page for TV naming conventions. Requested move notes left on the talk pages of the three articles already direct discussion there.
  • Live Together, Die Alone (Lost) → Live Together, Die Alone
  • The Glass Ballerina (Lost) → The Glass Ballerina
  • Whatever the Case May Be (Lost) → Whatever the Case May Be

These three episodes are the only lost episodes which do not fit with the current naming convention at WP:TV-NC ("For an article created about a single episode, add the series name in parentheses only if there are other articles by the same name") These episode articles need no disambiguation "disambiguation in Misplaced Pages and other Wikimedia Foundation projects is the process of resolving ambiguity" (from WP:D) as there is no ambiguity here. —`/aksha 03:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• God Is a DJ (Faithless song) → God Is a DJ —(Discuss)— page was originally at God Is a DJ but was moved because Pink released a song of the same name 6 years later. The Faithless song has been much more successful and is better known. The page on the faithless song also contains a link to the pink song. —Chappy84 11:59, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

17 November 2006

• Mission Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles → La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles —(Discuss)— —evrik  23:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC) - The church was not a mission. --evrik  23:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Interim → Interim (album) —(Discuss)— I would've thought most people who type interim into the search box want to know what the word means, not a music album by The Fall. It may be necessary however to write an article interim first. I might try to write a small stub article, maybe no more than a stub, tomorrow - but it is too late now. —Dangherous 23:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• NASA Shuttle Landing Facility → Shuttle Landing Facility —(Discuss)— WP:NC states that the most common form should be used. This is clearly Shuttle Landing Facility not NASA Shuttle Landing Facility. If you look at the pages that link here, then, excluding those that link through Template:Merritt Island (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), most link to Shuttle Landing Facility. A quick Google search confirms this - 655 results for the phrase NASA shuttle landing facility vs 92,100 for shuttle landing facility. Sadly, Shuttle Landing Facility has a history, so I cannot move this myself. Note: my last request for this move was unopposed, however it was never implemented. —GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 21:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Simon the Zealot → Simon the Apostle —(Discuss)— —evrik  17:11, 17 November 2006 (UTC) - Move made unilaterally without seeking consensus or notifying anyone of the editor's intentions (can we speedy this? --evrik  17:11, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Yefim Bogolyubov → Efim Bogoljubov —(Discuss)— or → Efim Bogoljubow. Revert move by Ezhiki with edit summary citing WP:RUS. (Note that the last edit before Ezhiki's move was Mibelz moving without discussion the last name from Bogoljubov to Bogoljubow, so the choice there has never been established either). That WP:RUS is irrelevant to the naming conventions, because Misplaced Pages isn't doing the Romanization. The subject of the article Romanized his own name, and that is what he is known by and that is what we should use. As even WP:RUS itself puts it, "When something has a conventional name in English, use that name instead of transliterating", so Ezhiki's move was not in accordance with WP:RUS as he/she claimed. (Efim wasn't originally Russian anyway, but Ukrainian, for all those people who like to argue about Ukrainian spellings vs. Russian spellings, and the cited page deals with Russian spellings.) This German, having moved to Germany in 1926, is best known in English under the Efim spelling he used, not Yefim. If it cannot be decided otherwise, toss a coin to decide between Bogolyubov and Bogolyubow, he is known under both spellings. —Gene Nygaard 17:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Jericho, Kansas → ? —(Discuss)— name to be decided on the page, but the fictional location guidelines suggest this page should be differentiated from actual towns in Kansas. —-- nae'blis 16:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Pedra Branca, Singapore → Pulau Batu Puteh —(Discuss)— One: The ownership of the island Pedra Branca is contested between Malaysia and Singapore. Therefore, no country name should be placed at the name in spirit of WP:NPOV. Two: Previously, the page name was simply Pedra Branca. However, the page Pedra Branca needs disambiguity page since there are several other places that are named as Pedra Branca. The typical solutions for the two problems, if following through conventional way (ie. for one: simply pedra branca. For two: eliminates the current disambiguity page.) However, the solution of moving the page Pedra Branca, Singapore solves both problem as it does not require disambiguity page and eliminates the needs to place a country name in the spirit of NPOV. __earth 13:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Professional_Football → Some other name —(Discuss)— Template is for Professional Football in the context of American football only —Jooler 13:01, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Árpád Élő -- Revert a series of edits by Mibelz, most or all of them chess related, all made without discussion. The ones listed here are contrary to naming conventions standards. Many of these people have moved to English-speaking countries and are known for their history in chess competitions under the original article name, and many are also known as authors (especially of books about chess) of English-language books published under that name. In many Mibelz has also deliberately added incorrect sort keys which result in the articles being mis-sorted in categories. In the listing below, I have included some additional identifying information, with User:Mibelz edit summaries when making the move placed in quotation marks. --Gene Nygaard 09:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Árpád Élő → Arpad Elo American, Mibelz edit summary "Hungarian form of his name." Note subsequent moves by Gene Nygaard and Calton, ending up where Mibelz moved it.
  • István Fazekas → Stefan Fazekas British, summary "Hungarian form of his first name."
  • Iossif Dorfman → Josif Dorfman French, summary "French form of his first name."
  • Michał Waszyński → Michael Waszynski American, summary "Polish form of his name", was moved from Michal Waszynski but article says in the United States, he was known as Michael Waszynski (he died 1965), no spelling Michał in article itself
  • Stanisław Ulam → Stanislaw Ulam American, moved from Stanisław Marcin Ulam without edit summary
  • Povilas Tautvaišas → Paul Tautvaisas American, summary "Lithuanian form of his name."
  • Elmārs Zemgalis → Elmars Zemgalis American, summary "Latvian form of his first name."
  • Kārlis Ozols → Karlis Ozols Australian, summary "Latvian form of his first name."
  • Géza Füster → Geza Fuster Canadian, summary "Hungarian form of his name."
  • Lucijs Endzelins → Lucius Endzelins Australian, summary "Latvian form of his first name."
  • Luděk Pachman → Ludek Pachman German, author of English-language books as Ludek Pachman, summary "Czech form of his first name."
  • Pál Benkő → Pal Benko French-born American, summary "Hungarian form of his name"
  • Vladimir Vuković → Vladimir Vukovic author of English-language book as Vladimir Vukovic
  • Gedeon Barcza → Gideon Barcza competed as and best known in English as Gideon, summary "Correct Hungarian form of his first name."
  • There may be other such moves by Mibelz that are questionable: some I don't know what they should be, and they are probably best dealt with individually if anybody wants to nominate them separately. Some other moves by Mibelz have already been undone or moved to name different from either of them, including Leonardo da Cutri → Giovanni Leonardo, Jevgēņijs Svešņikovs → Evgeny Sveshnikov, Lubomir Ftacnik → Lubomir Ftáčnik, and Efim Bogoljubow → Efim Bogoljubov.

• Saint John the Unfinished → Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, New York —(Discuss)— Move was made from the formal name to a "more colloquial" one with no discussion, and without fixing the resulting rats nest of double redirects. —Bpmullins | Talk 21:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

16 November 2006

• Cgwd → Emerald (window decorator) —(Discuss)— Not only did User:Daekharel unilaterally move the page, asserting these are "different things" (although Emerald is actually the new name for cgwd), he then blanked the page. I restored the redirect, but it should be moved to its proper title. —Sikon 07:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC) - Sikon 07:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

  Created discussion area. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• 2006 Qana airstrike → 2006 Qana massacre —(Discuss)— The title is misleading, there many airstrikes targeting qana and the article discusses only one that results the death of dozens mainly children and women —Banzoo 21:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• 1996 shelling of Qana → 1996 Qana massacre —(Discuss)— The title is misleading, there werent only one shelling of qana and the article discusses the death of more than a hundred civilian victim —Banzoo 21:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• The rocketed vehicle → The rocketed ambulance —(Discuss)— Move protection made holding the IDF POV discarding what all others call it —Banzoo 21:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Kings Gap State Park → Kings Gap Environmental Education and Training Center —(Discuss)— —evrik  14:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC) Move made without getting consensus first. --evrik  14:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Speed paintball → Speedball —(Discuss)— The term "speed paintball" is inaccurate. Please see the message on Speedball's talk page for further information. —Maximilli 02:25, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Toyota Motor Corporation → Toyota —(Discuss)— Legal names for companies only need to be added when there is ambiguity (for example, Nike, Inc.). In Toyota's case, there is no ambiguity - Toyota almost always refers to the company that makes the cars. It's why General Motors does not need "Corporation", but Ford Motor Company, given the ambiguity surrounding "Ford", does. There are over 500 links to Toyota that all refer to the company. "Motor Corporation" in Toyota's case is just unnecessary. —Bssc81 05:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Irish property bubble → Irish property market —(Discuss)— More NPOV name; the existence of such a bubble is hotly disputed. Demiurge 16:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC) —Demiurge 16:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Baltimore Light → Baltimore Harbor Light —(Discuss)— New private owners, new official name. —18:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)Stbalbach

• Ryūkyū Islands → Ryukyu —(Discuss)— Restore common English name, revert User:LordAmeth's continual edit warring over this. —Gene Nygaard 16:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

• Hercule (Dragon Ball) → Mister Satan —(Discuss)— Actually, the character's manga name is "Mister Satan", and that name is used in official English manga translations. There is no need to have the word "Dragon Ball" in parenthesis to go along with the title since it's the only Mister Satan titled article on Misplaced Pages. -- File:One Star DB.png // Power level (Dragon Ball) 15:12, 15 November 2006
