Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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]

Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]

Bhavya Bishnoi (politician) → Bhavya Bishnoi (currently a redirect back to Bhavya Bishnoi (politician)) (move · discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguation; there is no other page with the name "Bhavya Bishnoi". ミラP@Miraclepine 20:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bak Sheut-sin → Pak Suet Sin (currently a redirect back to Bak Sheut-sin) (move · discuss) – This spelling is found in more sources e.g. https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3087193/how-cantonese-opera-legend-pak-suet-sin-lgbt-icon-and-yam https://www4.hku.hk/hongrads/citations/honorary-degree-of-doctor-of-letters-shuk-leung-chan-chan-shuk-leung-pak-suet-sin https://www.filmarchive.gov.hk/documents/6.-Research-and-Publication/06-02-Filmmakers-Search/English/PAK-Suet-sin_e.pdf Mahogany115 (talk) 11:30, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bangla Bhasha Procholon Ain, 1987 → Bengali Language Introduction Act, 1987 (currently a redirect back to Bangla Bhasha Procholon Ain, 1987) (move · discuss) – English title that is also known in English-language sources. See here. Mehedi Abedin 04:18, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
American open-wheel car racing → Indy car racing (currently a redirect back to American open-wheel car racing) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONTERM RegalZ8790 (talk) 18:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu → Arnaud Larrieu (currently a redirect back to Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu) (move · discuss) – I moved the article Arnaud Larrieu to a joint biography but I foolishly had not realised another article also existed for the other sibling. Can this article be moved back to preserve its individual history when I redirect both to the joint article? Οἶδα (talk) 20:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]

Contested technical requests[edit]

Alpha Cephei → Alderamin (currently a redirect back to Alpha Cephei) (move · discuss) – This is by far the commonly-used name in the vast majority of reliable sources. Most peer-reviewed papers that give significant coverage in the star, use the name Alderamin. See some examples: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. A search in Google Scholar show that 19 sources use the name Alderamin, while only 7 use the name Alpha Cephei. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 13:02, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This same move was disputed back in 2014, and while it's been a while, the editor who disputed is still active, which might beg for an RM to be safe, even if there is a strong case to be made here. ASUKITE 14:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural note: That discussion was in 2024, not 2014. While I support this move, it's inappropriate for a technical request given that there was a RM just recently that failed - it needs a new RM. SnowFire (talk) 17:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@InTheAstronomy32 If you wish to proceed with this move you will need to click on the "discuss" link in your request above and open a new move discussion. --Ahecht (TALK

Thanks, I didn't even see the RM. I was referring to an old move from 2014, but the RM is much more relevant. ASUKITE 18:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter verification → X verification (currently a redirect back to Twitter verification) (move · discuss) – edit summary for the move Therealbey (talk) 09:23, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Contesting: as long as the main article is still at Twitter, I think there's a strong consistency argument (i.e., WP:CONSUB) against this move. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 09:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Therealbey Since this request was contested, you would need to click on the "discuss" link in your request above and open a move request if you with to continue. --Ahecht (TALK

Il Mare Calmo della Sera → Il mare calmo della sera (currently a redirect back to Il Mare Calmo della Sera) (move · discuss) – Italian-style capitalization; see Il mare calmo della sera (song) ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 09:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As this is released in English-speaking markets and generally styled with English capitalisation (e.g. [6][7][8]) I think this is probably correct as is. I'd capitalise Della as well though per the sources, because even if you treat it as a preposition then MOS:5LETTER would kick in. So my choice would be Il Mare Calmo Della Sera
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization)#Works and compositions seems to suggest otherwise though. And I’m especially bothered by the fact that there are two articles with the same title but different capitalization. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 12:39, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note, the page history of Il Mare Calmo della Sera had been split over the years between Il mare calmo della sera, Il Mare Calmo Della Sera, and the present page. I have now performed a WP:HISTMERGE so hopefuilly that aspect is sorted out now. — Amakuru (talk) 13:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weeks Jr 'A' Crushers → Weeks Crushers (currently a redirect back to Weeks Jr 'A' Crushers) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME 162 etc. (talk) 16:13, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Debdeb18, this request is similar to your move, any opposition? If so we should open a full move discussion instead. ASUKITE 17:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to contested via script (may be disputed as this was moved recently) ASUKITE 14:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Smörgåsbord → Smorgasbord (currently a redirect back to Smörgåsbord) (move · discuss) – English dictionaries render this loanword without accent marks, therefore MOS:FOREIGN would suggest that should be the title —Showerlemon (talk) 19:07, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Showerlemon: This move was already the subject of a failed move request at Talk:Smörgåsbord#Requested_move in 2010. Opinions may have changed in the last 14 years, but you'd need to open a new move discussion by clicking the "discuss" link in your request above if you wish to proceed. --Ahecht (TALK
