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 process for requesting the retitling of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. (Renames for files, categories and other items are requested elsewhere; see When not to use this page below.)

Any autoconfirmed user can use the [move] tab located at the top of any page to perform most moves (see Wikipedia:Moving a page). 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:

• Sometimes, technical reasons prevent a move from succeeding (for instance, if a page already exists with the desired name). In these circumstances, administrator help is required to move a page. You can request such help through this process: please see the section Requesting technical moves.
• In some situations, the appropriateness of a move may be under dispute, and discussion is necessary in order to reach a consensus. It is not always necessary to formally request a move in these circumstances: you can start an informal discussion at the article's talk page instead. If you do choose to place a formal request for a potentially controversial page move, please see the section Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.
• Thirdly, unregistered users and new (non-confirmed) users do not have the capability to move pages. They must request moves using this process.

Most move requests are processed by a group of regular contributors who are familiar with Wikipedia naming conventions, non-binding precedents, and page moving procedures.^[1] 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. See also the How to Determine Wikipedia Article Titles and Title discussions essays for additional guidance.

Requests are generally processed after seven days, although backlogs often develop. 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. (For uncontroversial technical moves, the page will often be moved after seven days, even without any discussion.) The processes involved in closing requests, performing moves, and cleaning up after moves can be viewed at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions.

[edit] When not to use 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 an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page#Moving a file page.
• Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion.
• Moves from user space – (new/unconfirmed users only) add {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} 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.

[edit] Requesting technical moves

Consider the following points before listing pages here:

• If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial or technical in nature (e.g. spelling and capitalization), please feel free to move the page yourself. If you cannot move the page yourself, then request it below.
• If any of the following situations applies to the requested move, it should be treated as controversial:
  • There is an existing article at the target title
  • There has been any past debate about the best title for the page
  • Someone could reasonably disagree with the move
• If the page has recently been moved without discussion, then you may revert the move (although this is not required, and may not always be possible) and initiate a discussion of the move on the talk page of the article. (See also: Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.)
• If the only obstacle to a technical move is a navigation aid (e.g., a redirect or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history), you may add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
  {{db-move|page to be moved here|reason for move}}
  This will list the page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection.

Otherwise, list new technical requests at the bottom of the sub-section Technical requests immediately below, using the following code:

{{subst:RMassist|old page name|requested name|reason for move}}

This 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 in Technical requests, please move it to the Contested technical requests section below.

If your technical request is contested by another editor, remove the request from the Contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves, below.

[edit] Technical requests

[edit] Contested technical requests

[edit] Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves

Do not put more than one move request on the same article talk page, as this is not supported by the bot that handles updates to this page. (For requesting multiple moves, see below.)

This process is only necessary if there is any reason to believe a requested move would be contested. For technical move requests (e.g. spelling and capitalization fixes), see Technical requests above.

[edit] Requesting a single page move

(If your proposal involves moving more than one page—for example, if you will need to move one page, such as a disambiguation page, to move another page to that title—please use the process for Requesting multiple page moves below.)

To request a single page move, create a new section at the bottom of the Talk page of the article you want moved. Format it 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. If there was a previous discussion use == Requested move xxxx == where xxxx can be the year if that is appropriate, or 2 for a second discussion.

As an alternative, you can click the New Section tab on the talk page and insert {{subst:RMtalk|Proposed new name|Reason for move.}} Leave the Subject/headline blank, as the template automatically creates the heading Requested move, along with a location for survey and discussion. Also note that the template must be substituted. The template will automatically include your signature.

Note: Nominators should not add a separate support !vote, as the nomination itself qualifies as a !vote. Nominators may, of course, make comments and otherwise participate in the discussion.

[edit] Requesting multiple page moves

On one of the talk pages of the affected articles, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here:

For example, if you were proposing a move for the article Wikipedia and other articles, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia and current1 would be Wikipedia. Note that the discussion for all the affected articles is held on the talk page of the first article - current1. It is not necessary to sign a request using this template with ~~~~ as the template does this automatically. Do not skip pairs of numbers. The template currently supports up to 30 listings.

After you make your move request on the talk page of one of the articles, per above, RM bot will automatically place a notice on the talk page of the additional pages that are included in your request, advising that the move discussion is in progress, where it is, and that all discussion for all pages included in the request should take place at that one location.

The template {{movenotice}} can be used on the current page (not the talk page) to draw attention to the proposed move and the discussion on the appropriate talk page.

Note: Nominators should not add a separate support !vote, as the nomination itself qualifies as a !vote. Nominators may, of course, make comments and otherwise participate in the discussion.

[edit] Current discussions

This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.

Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested 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) – Zürich Hauptbahnhof → Zurich Central Station – The other train stations in Category:Hauptbahnhof are titled as Central Station. The word hauptbahnhof is not found in the major English-language dictionaries.[1], [2], [3],[4]. According to WP:UE: “If there is no established English-language treatment for a name, translate it if this can be done without loss of accuracy and with greater understanding for the English-speaking reader.” Removing the diacritic here allows this title to correspond to the city article, which is at Zurich. The Google book hits for Zurich Hauptbahnhof are almost exclusively in travel literature. When a guidebook or roadmap written in English shows an autobahn between München and Nürnberg, it is attesting to local usage, because that is what the signs on the autobahn will say; Munich and Nuremberg are still the English names.

• (Discuss) – Magnetoresistive random access memory → Magnetoresistive random-access memory – Other types of random-access memory have hyphens in their title, if they do not use the acronym RAM: Dynamic random-access memory and Static random-access memory. --Wbm1058 (talk) 01:08, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Eugénie Bouchard → Eugenie Bouchard – Her first name doesn't have an accent on the e. She said that in an interview with Tom Tebbutt (reference : load://www.tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=335765&page=5). JGab12 (talk) 22:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Mona Simpson (novelist) → Mona Simpson – The author is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the name Mona Simpson. Mona Simpson (novelist) was viewed 36966 times in January 2012, compared to only 6286 for Mona Simpson (The Simpsons), the only other article of the title. The novelist has gotten many more page views than the Simpsons character (who is named for her) as far back as I checked. In addition, Mona Simpson+writer gets me 3,640 hits on Google Books and over 400 on Google News archives, compared to only 47 and 30, respectively, for Mona Simpson+The Simpsons; many of those are actually sources on the writer, mentioning that the Simpsons character is named for her. Also, for what it's worth, almost every incoming link to the Mona Simpson disambig page intends the writer.[5] The article on the Simpsons character can easily be disambiguated with a hat note.Cúchullain ^t/c 21:21, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – FC Zenit → FC Zenit Saint Petersburg – According to WP:COMMONNAME and WP:USEENGLISH, this article should be moved back. Mentoz86 (talk) 20:33, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Asheron's Call 2 → Asheron's Call 2: Fallen Kings – Relisted. Favonian (talk) 20:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC) There is no reason as to why this title should be shortened, as it should be denoted by its proper title, as well as the fact that it isn't an especially long title that could compromise the integrity of its encyclopedic form. DarthBotto _talk•cont 21:18, 01 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Guyver (OVA) → The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor – I'm suggesting we title the page after what is actually used in the images (VHS/DVD). This title shares a similarity yet a distinction to the subsequent anime series (Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor). There have been multiple OVAs of Guyver. Guyver: Out of Control was the first one and should be disambiguated. Using 'OVA' in singular most likely refers to OoC. The topic of this article is actually a 12-episode SERIES of OVAs. If not moving it to the title, I think we should at least retitle this Guyver (OVA series) to disambiguate it from the previous OVA, which was a 1-shot and not a series.

• (Discuss) – Coventry University Department of Media and Communication → Coventry University Department of Media – The name of the department has officially changed from the Department of Media and Communications to the Department of Media as of 1st January 2012 - here is the website link to the new department load://www.coventry.ac.uk/media. Woody1994 (talk) 18:01, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Mark Hammond (politician) → Mark Hammond (American politician) – This page should be a disambiguation which could also refer to Mark Hammond (Australian politician). This would follow proper format and not bias us towards America. Y12J (talk) 17:20, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Florida vs. Georgia Football Classic → Florida–Georgia football rivalry – This article's current title (decided here) was selected as the official name, but there's a major problem: it's almost never used. There are only around 8 total hits in the Google News archives for Florida vs. Georgia Football Classic[6] The City of Jacksonville itself doesn't always use it, and it's not really even treated as official.[7] The former title of World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party isn't usable either, for the reasons stated in the last request. By far the most common way of referring to the game in sources is Florida-Georgia or a related variant such as Georgia-Florida, Florida vs. Georgia, Florida-Georgia rivaly, Florida-Georgia game, etc. Florida-Georgia+football returns over 5,000 hits on Google Books, and over 11,000 in the Google News archives.[8], with many more for the individual variants. As such I propose that a descriptive title like Florida–Georgia football rivalry is more in line with how the game is referred to in the sources, recognizable to readers, precise, and consistent with the general practice for similar articles in Category:College football rivalries in the United States, in accordance with WP:NAMINGCRITERIA.Cúchullain ^t/c 16:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Sunlight → Solar radiation – Move Sunlight to solar radiation (which currently redirects back to Sunlight because as the dictionary says, the term sunlight refers specifically to the electromagnetic radiation (ER) which is visible to the human eye. We also speak of invisible sunlight such as the warming rays of infrared and the tanning rays of ultraviolet (UV). But wavelengths of solar radiation longer than infrared (or shorter than UV) aren't usually called sunlight, even by scientists, are they? Sunlight should be about solar radiation which we can see by, which warms us, or which tans us (yes, and gives us skin cancer). Solar radiation should be the general article on all wavelengths of ER the sun emits. Very likely the best arrangement would be to have a section on Sunlight in the Solar radiation article. We can use WP:Summary style and link this small section to the larger Sunlight article. Uncle Ed (talk) 16:09, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Cross-Origin Resource Sharing → Cross-origin resource sharing – Sentence case. load://en.wikipedia.org/read/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Article_titles XP1 (talk) 13:27, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Mohammed Waheed Hassan → Mohamed Waheed Hassan – That is the correct spelling of the name, Mohamed. - ℤiαηsh✍ 12:49, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Acceptance and commitment therapy → Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – There are now several acceptance-based or mindfulness-based therapies in applied psychology - as the article mentions, these include not only ACT, but Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy. Even a cursory web search reveals many such references to acceptance-based therapies, an acceptance-based approach, etc. E.g. Acceptance-based treatment for persons with complex, long standing chronic pain: a preliminary analysis of treatment outcome in comparison to a waiting phase, Acceptance Therapy & Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ec. Thus, adopting within Wikipedia the widespread usage outside Wikipedia of proper names for these different therapies - e.g. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - will aid in distinguishing a particular therapy from the more general topic, when it may occur, of acceptance-based therapies, as well as from ad hoc mentions of a single new approach that is described as acceptance-based or an acceptance therapy but has not yet been codified further.

• (Discuss) – President’s Cup → President's Cup (SOMETHING) – Per WP:PUNCT, we should use the straight (or typewriter) apostrophe ( ' ), as opposed to the curly (or typographic) apostrophe ( ’ ). But if I rename these articles, the new titles are going to require a disambiguating word or phrase in parentheses (since we have a President's Cup (disambiguation) page), and I'm unsure what it should be. Any ideas? Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – NBA All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge → Rising Stars Challenge – Reflect new rebranded name of event, supported in news sources by WP:COMMONNAME. 251 ghits for Rising Stars Challenge vs 38 for Rookie Challenge. Sponsorships are transient, and not commonly used in sources, so no need to prefix with current sponsor, BBVA. Also, not using prefix of NBA All-Star Weekend from previous name, again per WP:COMMONNAME; the opening sentence in the lead explains it is part of NBA All-Star Weekend. There are no other Rising Stars Challenges out there to disambiguate that would require the prefix.—Bagumba (talk) 07:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Department of Intelligence and Security → Département du Renseignement et de la Sécurité – The French name appears to be about four times more common (in English-language references) than its English translation, based on Google Books searches linked to in the section French name above. (The word Algeria was included in the search query to ensure that unrelated instances of Department of Intelligence and Security were excluded from the results.) In case the move does not go forward, please also comment on whether the French name of the organization should be mentioned in the article.96.46.204.126 (talk) 03:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC) [Edit: Here are the searches again: [9], [10] 96.46.204.126 (talk) 04:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC)]

• (Discuss) – Agatha Christie's Marple → Marple (TV series) – Relisted. Favonian (talk) 23:49, 8 February 2012 (UTC) The TV screen reads Agatha Christie: Marple, not Agatha Christie's Marple. The main basic title of the series is Marple, the author or originator does not nescessarily belong to the title. Otherwise we'd have to move Miss Marple (TV series) to Agatha Christie's Miss Marple (TV series). Also: Isn't Agatha Christie's Marple actually the character Miss Marple? The title Marple (TV series) would be unambiguous [bfi link with titles listed] E-Kartoffel (talk) 17:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Production of Watchmen (film) → Production of Watchmen – This article was moved to the current title (with the (film) disambiguator) in a previous discussion. I am suggesting that this article be moved back to the original title for two reasons. Firstly, Wikipedia's guidelines regarding the decision to disambiguate state that article titles should only be provided with disambiguators when there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead (italics mine). There are no other existing Wikipedia articles that could be referred to by the title Production of Watchmen, therefore the guidelines are against disambiguation. Secondly, the current title (with the disambiguator) is more misleading than the original title, because it suggests that there is a film called Production of Watchmen. The disambiguator does not apply to the entire title, and it does not serve the purpose of disambiguating. The original title should be restored. Neelix (talk) 21:56, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

• (Discuss) – Racko! → Rack-O – The name of the game is either referred to as Racko or Rack-o depending on when you looked at it. 50+ years ago, it was Racko See PDF more recently its been Rack-OSee PDF.

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Virgin Mary is clearly a commoname and should be moved back.

• (Discuss) – Vesākha → Vesak – The page was previously moved from Vesak to Vesākha based on the argument that there is no widely-accepted English spelling for the name.

I suggest that the article be renamed back to Vesak, since it is the overwhelmingly predominant spelling of the term in English texts. Paul_012 (talk) 18:30, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
