Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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: 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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• Brothers in Arms (organization) → Brothers and Sisters in Arms (currently a redirect back to Brothers in Arms (organization)) (move · discuss) – name change requested by organization and name in Hebrew is better represented by new title Omer Toledano (talk) 03:32, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

@Omert33: What do you mean by "name change requested by organization"? C F A 💬 15:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

I approached someone who knows someone there and inquired if a name change is in order to better coincide with the name in Hebrew. They replied in favor of the name change. --Omer Toledano (talk) 15:18, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Isn't that a conflict of interest that you should disclose? C F A 💬 16:06, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't think so. I simply think that "Brothers and Sisters in Arms" is more reflective of the name in Hebrew. -- Omer Toledano (talk) 18:28, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

• Template:Raleigh-Durham TV → Template:Research Triangle TV (move · discuss) – The market covers the entire Research Triangle, not just Raleigh and Durham. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 17:05, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

  The name of the DMA according to the FCC/Neilsen, etc. is "Raleigh-Durham (Fayetteville)". I would suggest Template:Raleigh–Durham–Fayetteville TV. --Ahecht (TALK

• Execution of Alfred Bourgeois → Alfred Bourgeois (currently a redirect back to Execution of Alfred Bourgeois) (move · discuss) – Per Wikipedia:PERPETRATOR and for reasons stated and discussed on the talk page: [1]. Inexpiable (talk) 20:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
• Wilfried Lemke → Willi Lemke (currently a redirect back to Wilfried Lemke) (move · discuss) – Per point one of WP:Title, Willi Lemke is a more common name, as german sources reporting his death more commonly use Willi and parity with German Wikipedia XCBRO172 (talk) 20:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC) XCBRO172 (talk) 20:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
• Lezmond Charles Mitchell → Lezmond Mitchell (currently a redirect back to Lezmond Charles Mitchell) (move · discuss) – Per Wikipedia:MIDDLENAME vast majority of sources just use the name: Lezmond Mitchell. Inexpiable (talk) 20:17, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
• Christopher Andre Vialva → Christopher Vialva (currently a redirect back to Christopher Andre Vialva) (move · discuss) – Per Wikipedia:MIDDLENAME vast majority of sources just use the name: Christopher Vialva. Inexpiable (talk) 20:19, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
• Ferguson Police Department (Missouri) → Ferguson Police Department (currently a redirect back to Ferguson Police Department (Missouri)) (move · discuss) – No other article with a police department of the same name. JE98 (talk) 22:09, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

• Provo → Provo (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Provo) (move · discuss) – Restore primary redirect to Provo, Utah, the clear primary topic here. 162 etc. (talk) 21:04, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

• DOA (mixtape) → DOA (album) (currently a redirect instead to DOA) (move · discuss) – Majority of sources call this an album rather than a mixtape, and the disambiguation should reflect that. Current target's album does not appear to be notable, and can/should be replaced with a hatnote. Current title should be tagged as {{r from incorrect disambiguation}}. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:39, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

  Note that D.o.A: The Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle may be seen as ambiguous. 162 etc. (talk) 02:12, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

  @162 etc. I think the punctuation and capitalization is enough for WP:SMALLDIFFS and a hatnote should suffice. --Ahecht (TALK
  PAGE) 00:44, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

  Nope, it needs full disambiguation from that.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:36, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

• Trichosanthes dioica → Potol (currently a redirect back to Trichosanthes dioica) (move · discuss) – This plant is culinarily significant and is known by the name "Potol" in majority of the English language sources. Requesting it's move as per WP:FLORATITLES and WP:UCRN. SriHarsha Bhogi (talk) 13:25, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

@Sri Harsha Bhogi The article currently doesn't seem to support Potol as being the primary English-language name. The article only features pointed gourd as an alternative title, and mentions "potol" only as a transliteration of the Bengali word. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 13:54, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Any idea why? "Potol" isn't just it's Bengali name. It's used for this species in the publications in multiple languages including English. --SriHarsha Bhogi (talk) 16:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

• Brussels Stock Exchange → Euronext Brussels (currently a redirect back to Brussels Stock Exchange) (move · discuss) – The exchange has been renamed a while ago Tigga (talk) 13:23, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

@Tigga There have been two failed move discussions (one in 2018, one in 2022) to move this article to Euronext Brussels, so this is not uncontrovertial. If you wish to open a new discussion, please click on the "discuss" link in your request above. --Ahecht (TALK
