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=reason for 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 this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.
  • Siege of Leningrad → Blockade of Leningrad (currently a redirect back to Siege of Leningrad) (move · discuss) – I propose to rename the main article to the "Blockade of Leningrad" instead of redirecting because it`s widely known in Soviet and later Russian historiography as the "blockade" (Russian: Блокада Ленинграда). Besides, here in countries of the former Soviet Union every family call it the "blockade" not the "siege" (especially those who survived). As there are many archive documents written in Russian, it`s rare to meet the term "siege". It can be confusing for researchers. Borisenko-ru (talk) 13:23, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RadioactiveBoulevardier can you find a Diff (see Help:Diff § Internal links) to the old move? I think this might need to be discussed? microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 14:46, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, technically I don’t see the issue. It’s an undiscussed move in a remote corner and there’s no hard deadline to grandfather the move in. There is a solid WP:PRIMARYTOPIC argument (if you exclude the war-related coverage of Yampil, Donetsk Oblast) so RMUM why not?

@RadioactiveBoulevardier: You appear to be requesting to revert this move from 2007 (95 edits ago). That is more than enough to be is a stable title for WP:TITLECHANGES / WP:RMUM / WP:SVTRT. You'll need to open a requested move, which you can do by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue).

  • NoHo West → NOHO West (currently a redirect back to NoHo West) (move · discuss) – Official capitalization is "NOHO" not "NoHo" according to the official website Keizers (talk) 15:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We don't match all-caps stylisms, only initialisms. See MOS:ALLCAPS. "NoHo" (ie. North Hollywood) is correct here. 162 etc. (talk) 17:11, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • George Warren Brown School of Social Work → Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis (move) – the name of the school has changed due to changes in the programs offered, refer to their website to see this new name listed: https://brownschool.wustl.edu/ Vicvicand (talk) 19:38, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Vicvicand: any third party independent and reliable sources to support WP:NAMECHANGE? – robertsky (talk) 02:59, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Median state → Median kingdom (currently a redirect back to Median state) (move · discuss) – The term "kingdom" is more common and natural as evidenced in the article itself. Mawer10 (talk) 21:38, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The two most common terms appear to be Median empire followed by the current name, Median state. And until recently, the current name held the absolute lead. (I guess the issue with both Median kingdom and Median empire is that neither was the name for the whole period this entity existed). Noting as well that the real name for this appears to be just Media, but that would require a disambiguator and it's hard to assess how common it is relative to the other terms. In any case I don't think this is uncontroversial.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Amakuru: A search on Google Scholar shows that results for "Median state" do not always refer to the Median political entity, furthermore it is not very common to refer to political entities from the Ancient Era as "states". On the other hand, a search for "Median kingdom" always gives the correct results. "Median Empire" is also a valid title, I would support it too. Mawer10 (talk) 22:21, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
