Uncontroversial technical requests
- Egypt (Roman province) (currently a redirect to Roman Egypt) → Roman Egypt (move · discuss) – :This page has been through a number of moves, all in the 2000s. They were:
- Aegyptus Province → Aegyptus (Roman province) @ 15:13, 6 April 2006 by Panairjdde~enwiki
- Aegyptus (Roman province) → Ægyptus @ 00:42, 8 April 2007 by Whytecypress
- Ægyptus → History of Roman Egypt @ 06:44, 19 September 2007 by Anthony Appleyard
- History of Roman Egypt → Egypt (Roman province) @ 11:55, 19 April 2009 by EraNavigator
"Egypt (Roman province)" has obtained ever since 2009. However, none of these moves resulted in what is probably the best two options, though the original name, "Aegyptus Province" came close. "Aegyptus" is possibly the best place for the article, but that would have to displace the current [[Aegyptus]] to [[Aegyptus (mythology)]]. The other best candidate is "Roman Egypt" and in my view this article should just move there and avoid the brackets, like Roman Gaul, Roman Britain, Roman Syria, etc. [[Roman Egypt]] is presently a redirect though, so I can't do it myself.
