Wikipedia:Moving articles

Welcome to our website. It is generaly simplier version of wikipedia. You will find there selected articles. Enjoy!

Closing instructions

This page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators. This notice is automatically updated by RM bot (talk) and will no longer be displayed when the backlog is cleared

Requested moves is a place for requesting the retitling of an article, a template, or a page in the Wikipedia namespace. Any logged-in user who has been registered for more than four days and has made at least ten edits can use the [move] tab located at the top of each page to perform simple moves (see Help:Moving a page). Unregistered users and users not yet confirmed may request moves here. Administrator help is required in some situations. Such moves can also be listed here.

In some situations the appropriateness of a move may be under dispute, and discussion is necessary in order to reach a consensus. There is no obligation to list such move requests here; this page may be seen as a place to advertise move debates that would benefit from wider community input, or for users to request assistance from administrators in moving pages. In the section Current discussions requests can be explained shortly.

Discussions about retitling of an article (page move) can always be carried out at the article's talk page without adding an entry here. See the directions in the section Requesting potentially controversial moves.

Most move requests are processed by a handful of regular contributors who are familiar with naming conventions, nonbinding precedents, and page moving procedures. Two pages often cited during move discussions, which you might want to familiarize yourself with before making your request, are our naming convention regarding primary topics and our guideline on using common English names. Requests are generally processed after seven days, although backlogs of a few days develop occasionally. If there is a clear consensus after this time, the request will be closed and acted upon. If not, the closer may choose to re-list the request to allow time for consensus to develop, or close it as "no consensus". The processes involved in closing requests, performing moves and necessary tidying tasks when a move is performed can be viewed at closing instructions.

Processes beyond the scope of this page

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

• Renaming a category - propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
• Renaming a stub template - propose the move at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion.
• Moves from User space - (new/unconfirmed users only) add {{move draft}} to the top of the article.
• Merging two articles - make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers or be bold and do it yourself.
• Requesting that page histories be merged - list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

Requesting potentially controversial moves

This process is only necessary if there is any reason to believe a requested move would be contested.
A new section should be made on the talk page of the discussed page, as explained in the section below. For uncontroversial move requests (e.g. spelling and capitalization fixes), see Uncontroversial requests below.

Requesting a single page move

If your proposal involves moving more than one page -- for example, if you will need to move one page in order to move another page to that title -- please use the process for "Requesting multiple page moves" below.

Create a section at the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved. It should be formatted like this:

The name of the section does not necessarily need to be "Requested move", though it is suggested. "NewName" is what you want the new name of the page to be.

This can also be done by clicking the "new section" tab on the talk page and inserting {{subst:RMtalk|Proposed new name|Reason for move.}} Note that the Subject/headline should be left blank, as the heading, Requested move, is created along with a location for survey and discussion by this template, and that the template must be substituted. The template will also automatically include your signature.

Requesting multiple page moves

On one of the talk pages of the affected articles, create a request and format it as below. The following is an example for three pages. Note that the talk page of current1 is where the discussion is to take place.

Uncontroversial requests

If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial (e.g. spelling and capitalization), please feel free to move the page yourself. If you cannot move the page yourself, then request it below. Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require assistance from an administrator or confirmed user.

If the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is a navigation aid (e.g., a redirect or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history), the template {{db-move}} can be used instead to have that page deleted under criterion for speedy deletion G6. Note that this template requires two parameters: {{db-move|page to be moved here|reason for move}}.

If there has been any past debate about the best title for the page, or if anyone could reasonably disagree with the move, then treat it as controversial. Otherwise, post your request in this section. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, then you may revert the move (although this is not necessary) and initiate a discussion of the move on the talk page of the article. (See also: Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.) If this reversion requires administrator assistance, it is also eligible to be listed here. When listing this kind of request, please include a link showing that you have attempted to discuss the page move first.

Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically insert a bullet and 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 Contested requests section below.

Current requests

Contested requests

This is the place for a brief description of the problem or objection to the move proposal, please do not discuss move proposals here. Proposals that remain here after seven days will be removed.

Current discussions

There is no need to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically when the discussion is closed. To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page.

This list is also available in a page-link-first format.

• (Discuss) — Hong Kong Second Division League 2007-08 → Hong Kong Second Division League 2007–08 — year ranges use an endash per WP:YEAR. Rjwilmsi 13:11, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Matthew the Evangelist → Saint Matthew — I know this was recently dealt with as part of a proposed block move of four articles, but it appeared that some people did not regard the issues as quite identical in each of the four cases. I have therefore decided to deal with these four articles on an individual basis, starting with what appears to me to be the clearest-cut case, and see how it goes. "Saint Matthew" already redirects here, it is surely his common name, "Matthew the Evangelist" is an unusual title. The only objection seems to be from somebody putting forward a peculiar minority theological POV, objecting to describing anyone as a saint. PatGallacher (talk) 12:46, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Binomial nomenclature → Binominal nomenclature — Relisted. ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 12:02, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Vuelta al País Vasco → Tour of the Basque Country — This race's common English name is, well, its English name. 1.3 million ghits for English, 331,000 for Spanish when wikipedia is discounted. We do not have, say, Giro d'Italia, at that title out of any conspicuous preference for local names, we have it there because that is the common name of that race in English. In any case, this race has two local names, and the one not used as an article title, arguably the "local-er," would be even more incomprehensible and impossible to pronounce for an English monolingual than this one is. The American TV network covering this race calls it by the English name; I'm naturally uncertain of English-language coverage in other parts of the world, and would be open to withdrawing this request if such evidence goes against it.

• (Discuss) — Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons) → Homer's Odyssey — I'm wondering if this page should be moved to Homer's Odyssey, with a hatnote on the episode page linking to the Odyssey. My reasoning is that "Homer's Odyssey" is the exact name of the episode, but not of the Odyssey, so the one whose "real" name it is should take precedence. --✶♏✶ 00:22, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle → M2 Bradley — wouldn't call it the M2/M3/M6/M7 Bradley. Split off M3 Bradley Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (talk) 00:10, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Largest cities in the Inland Empire → Largest cities in the Inland Empire (California) — It is inappropriate to assume that everyone in the world knows that "Inland Empire" refers to the region of California. Also for consistency with it's parent article. SoCal L.A. (talk) 22:45, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — The Holy Bible → The Holy Bible (album) — User's are more likely to be looking for Bible when they come to this page than the music album. So it would be more appropriate to move this page to The Holy Bible (album) and then replace it with a redirect to Bible. _ Kingpin¹³ (talk) 21:18, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Andrew Handyside → Andrew Handyside and Company — 'Andrew Handyside and Company' is main topic of article, move previously requested by another editor. Shortfatlad (talk) 20:37, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Mar-Keys → The Mar-Keys — If you look at the discogs.com listing you see that most original releases (on Stax Records) by the band were credited to 'The Mar-Keys' not simply 'Mar-Keys' http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mar-Keys,+The. It was very common in the 1960s to deliberately use the "The" in the band name (applies to soul and to pop/rock groups) E-Kartoffel (talk) 18:26, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Geber → Jābir ibn Hayyān — I am requesting that this page be moved to Jābir ibn Hayyān and the page currently at that address, a redirect to this page, be either moved to this location or else simply deleted. (That page has no talk page and has had just a single edit to create the redirect.) If this goes ahead, I will then make this page, Geber, a disambiguation page for Jābir ibn Hayyān, Jabir ibn Aflah and pseudo-Geber. –Syncategoremata (talk) 15:52, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Patriarch Ignatius of Constantinople → Ignatius of Constantinople — As noted in WP:NCP additional qualifiers (such as "King", "Saint", "Dr.") should not be used, except for neutral disambiguation. The listed names do not require the titular prefix for disambiguation, disambiguation by city appears to be sufficient to distinguish them from those with similar names. Relisted.

• (Discuss) — Pride Week (Toronto) → Pride Toronto — Pride Week is a part of the many year round events that are a part of the entire Pride Toronto organization. UnionStn (talk) 07:20, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Amphoe Ban Fang → Ban Fang District — This was previously discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thai districts#Naming of articles and more recently at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Thailand-related articles)/Draft#Naming of settlements, but the discussions didn't see much input. The rationale is so as be compliant with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names), the latter of which states Names of classes of places follow the same guidance: do what English does. In particular, when dealing with administrative subdivisions, we write of Russian oblasts and the Moscow Oblast, but of Chinese and Roman provinces, not sheng or provinciae. It is therefore proposed here that district is the accepted English translation of amphoe, and should be used in article titles. If consensus is to move, I'm hoping this will serve as a precedent to move the other nine hundred or so amphoe articles. Paul_012 ^(talk) 06:16, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — House of Châteaudun → Angevins — See previous section. It is the more widely used term in medieval scholarship. Currently redirects to House of Anjou, a dab page. This page was previously moved without discussion. —Srnec (talk) 02:51, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Santa Catalina School for Girls → Santa Catalina School — Santa Catalina School is not only for girls. Our Lower School has boys and girls. We have never been known as "Santa Catalina School for Girls." "Santa Catalina School" is currently redirecting to "Santa Catalina School for Girls." Please correct. Santacatalinaschool (talk) 23:09, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — 200 West Street → 200 West Street (New York) — * Many towns and cities likely have a West Street, and some of those West Streets likely have addresses up to or past 200. This building in New York may be very famous to Americans, but I here in England (and thus likely many more people) had never heard of it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Media in Providence and New Bedford → Media in Providence Metropolian Area — Providence is the metro area's anchor and New Bedford is one arbitrary choice out of five principal cities, see above.Louiedog (talk) 15:54, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — List of communities in Alberta → Municipalities of Alberta — Per this discussion, the name of this article is inconsistent with the name conventions used for Villages of Alberta, Summer villages of Alberta and Hamlets of Alberta. The article also is no longer a true list of all communities in Alberta. It is now a summary of all municipality types, statuses and sub-entities in Alberta that are recognized/established by Alberta Municipal Affairs. To address these two observations, it is proposed that this article be renamed to Municipalities of Alberta. This proposal is consistent with a similar proposal here (List of towns in Alberta → Towns of Alberta). Also note what is currently being discussed here as well with respect to the article's cities section.Cheers, --Hwy43 (talk) 05:21, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Yours as Fast as Mine → Yours As Fast As Mine — The album title is written as "Yours As Fast As Mine" on places such as iTunes and Amazon, so the article should match this.

• (Discuss) — List of towns in Alberta → Towns of Alberta — The name of this article is inconsistent with the name conventions used for Villages of Alberta, Summer villages of Alberta and Hamlets of Alberta. Also, the name of the article is redundant with a section title within the article. To address these two observations, I would like to propose that this article be renamed to Towns of Alberta.

• (Discuss) — Rastafari movement → Rastafari — Per this discussion, there seems to be differences of opinion on whether the article title should contain the word "movement". The word Rastafari alone is used as a noun to refer to this religious movement, although I'm not sure which name is used more commonly. Another alternative would be Rastafarianism, I suppose.

Gin and Kinh are different transcription of Vietnamese language of their endonym, just as the majority of China call themself Han people. In Chinese document, Chinese language is called "Han Chinese language" as "official English" in ethnic introduction and Vietnamese language is treated as the abbr of "Gin Vietnamese language" or "Gin language in Vietnam", whereas "Gin language in China" or simply "Gin language" refer the language of resident of Fangchenggang. --虞海 (Yú Hǎi) (talk) 06:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Ulema → Ulama — Yes, I see there was already a discussion about this archived below, but the vote was :2 support:3 neutral:2 opposeOf the two who oppose, both assert (without any support) that ulema is more common in English. Except it isn't. The Library of Congress and the Encyclopaedia Britannica both use ulama. Google pulls 3.78m for ulama -wiki versus 2.78m for ulema -wiki. The results show exactly what one would expect: ulema is a regional Turkish and Pakistani use; ulama is the proper Arabic term, more common in English, and used in organizations even in Indonesia, Pakistan, and Turkey. You'd think the idea of ulema as proper English comes from use under the British Raj or possibly British dealings with Ottoman Turkey, but google.co.uk gives 36,900 pages in the UK for ulama -wiki and only half as may (18k) for ulema -wiki.

• (Discuss) — Reno Silver Sox → Reno Silver Sox (Golden Baseball League) — The team that currently has the "(minor league team)" disambiguation had over 40 years of history and affiliation with Major League Baseball teams. On the other hand, the GBL team, currently at the disambiguous ambiguous title, existed under this name for 3 seasons. Ghits will be skewed in favor of the GBL team because it played in the internet age while the MiLB team disbanded in 1992. The GBL article also has a lot more inlinks but I suspect that a lot of them, including several MLB team season articles, are intended to point to the MiLB team, therefore I do think that the MiLB team is the primary topic. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 20:21, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Thus, the only article that would have this full name spelled out would be this one, so to be more efficient, I suggest moving it to get rid of the (album) at the end, and deleting the disambiguation page in its place.

• (Discuss) — New town → Planned city — New Town is an odd read for many. These places are commonly called Planned cities and this term is commonly used in the article. As a part of this, it might be necessary to split off some of the UK stuff that clearly relates to a name used there for specific places. I'll add that new is a rather confusing term for places that have existed for hundreds of years. I'll add that the proposed name matches what is used on commons, Category:Planned cities.

• (Discuss) — Stereotypes of white people → [[]] — I suggest that the article be renamed Prejudice/Discrimination against white people, or Anti-white sentiment/racism, along the lines of several other articles in the series. This article is part of the racism series, and is the only article that deals with racism against white people as a subject. An article which is solely about anti-white stereotypes is therefore inadequate. The article should also cover reverse discrimination, and racially-motivated crimes against white people, and all major themes and events which are or are alleged to relate to anti-white racism. (I'm aware that some of the other articles in the series also deal exclusively with 'stereotypes'; I would also support an equivalent page-move for those articles. I am aware this would be a seperate issue, but I thought I would point it out in case anyone brought up the precedent of co-articles about stereotypes.) BillMasen (talk) 11:08, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Cal Poly San Luis Obispo College of Engineering → Cal Poly College of Engineering (San Luis Obispo) — The name of the College of Engineering is "Cal Poly College of Engineering." See ceng.calpoly.edu. The university notes its official name as "Cal Poly" and "California Polytechnic State University." See http://warc.calpoly.edu/universityid/univnameuse.html. The usage of "Cal Poly San Luis Obispo" is explicitly rejected. Id. In addition to offical name usage, it is the name that is commonly used: the College of Engineering itself uses it (see again, ceng.calpoly.edu); calpoly.edu, calpoly.com, calpoly.net, calpoly.org are all owned by Cal Poly and associated with Cal Poly servers; Cal Poly does not use "San Luis Obispo" in its athletic teams (see http://gopoly.com/), facebook uses "Cal Poly" to denote the university, etc. This is in contrast to "Cal Poly Pomona," which explicitly rejects usage of "Cal Poly" without "Pomona" (see http://www.csupomona.edu/~publicaffairs/graphics/nomenclature.shtml); does not use "calpoly" in its web address (see csupomona.edu), is not the original Cal Poly, and does not label its engineering college without the word "Pomona." Furthermore, the "Cal Poly College of Engineering" artile used to directly go what is now the "Cal Poly San Luis Obispo College of Engineering" article. It was only recently changed, and the change was erroneous. In an effort to compromise, I suggest moving this page to "Cal Poly College of Engineering (San Luis Obispo)."

• (Discuss) — Silver Ferns → New Zealand national netball team — The convention regarding articles about national sports teams is to title them "<country> national <sport> team". I don't see sufficient reason why these teams (including the ones listed below) should be an exception. The conventional titles would be more intuitive, since the nicknames of these teams are largely unknown outside of their respective countries. At test level the teams are just as likely to be referred to as "New Zealand" or "Jamaica", as they would "Silver Ferns" or "Sunshine Girls". There may be a somewhat more difficult case with "Silver Ferns" given the team's profile in New Zealand: see Talk:New Zealand national rugby union team/Archive 4#Requested move for a similar discussion. – Liveste (talk • edits) 03:24, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Lastly, it avoids the tautology whereby most instances of the template are called with article issues|article=yes. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:58, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

• (Discuss) — Archbishop Iakovos of America → Iakovos (Koukouzis) — To start removing the honours of religious officials that are not the head of a given denomination. As noted in WP:NCP additional qualifiers (such as "King", "Saint", "Dr.") should not be used. WP:NCWC permits titular prefixes for Eastern Orthodox Metropolitans, Archbishops and Bishops, which is obviously in conflict with WP:NCP. the issue is currently being resolved here, and currently no opposition exists with removing the prefixes so long as the individual is not the head of an autocephalous church. The religious name is first, followed by the family name in brackets. It appears to be the common practice, although I have no personal opinion on the matter and am open to suggestions. My focus is the removal of the titular prefixes. Labattblueboy (talk) 05:38, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Another alternative might be Regional Organisation of ITUC for Asia and the Pacific.

• (Discuss) — Afro-Brazilian → [[]] — If it is correct that neither official sources nor the academic world nor people in Brazil refer to these groups as 'African Brazilians' or 'Afro-Brazilians' but use the term 'negro' and 'pardo', then this certainly means the naming of this article can't be upheld. It can be determined in a later step whether a separate article is appropriate for 'pardos' or whether it makes more sense to cover this group in a substantial extent within this article. The naming of Black people in France or Black people in Europe seems to be a more appropriate naming scheme for this. The alternative name 'Brazilians of Black African ancestry' (such as in Portuguese of Black African ancestry) seems to be somewhat acceptable, but inferior as it ignores the fact that race is a socially constructed concept and not immediately bound to a specific ancestry.
