Revision as of 09:38, 6 September 2009

September 06, 2009

(Discuss) — Template:Globalize → Template:Worldwide — I find it worrying that this move hasn't already been done. It's ironic and almost insulting that a template requesting a globalised view rather than a local one would itself promote American English over British English. I'm not saying all templates should be moved to neutral words, but it should be obvious why this one is an exception. Greg Tyler ^{(t • c)} 09:37, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Glory of Hercales → Glory of Heracles — The title is misspelled. Parrothead1983 (talk) 09:04, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Club Cienciano del Cusco → Cienciano — I noticed the page was moved to Club Cienciano del Cusco. The del Cusco just seems like the Peru of South America thing or United States of America. I feel that the article name is too long for a club known to everyone as Cienciano. It is the only Cienciano out there and well-known by everyone. Wikilinking Club Cienciano del Cusco will be a hassle, when typing Cienciano will be a breeze. A lot of articles already use the Cienciano wikilink. Also, when searching Cienciano on google, Cienciano gets the most searches. MicroX (talk) 08:36, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Alpha (letter) → Alpha — The letter is definitely the primary usage, with all other usages derived from the existence of the letter. @harej 05:40, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Trevi → Trevi, Perugia — This should be renamed because this Trevi is not the primary usage in English, instead the dab page should exist at the primary name. 76.66.196.139 (talk) 03:58, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Communist Party of China → Chinese Communist Party — CCP is definitively used most in scholarly literature and journalism on the Party. "CPC" may be a modern innovation, but it does not have support from the sources. Wikipedia's naming convention says: "title an article using the most common name of the person or thing that is the subject of the article", and "Generally, article naming should prefer what the greatest number of English speakers would most easily recognize... Wikipedia determines the recognizability of a name by seeing what verifiable reliable sources in English call the subject." In this context it's obvious that Chinese Communist Party is what is most commonly used in English. Google returns over 800,000 for Chinese Communist Party, but 519,000 for Communist Party of China. There are 3,620 for the latter in google books, and 8,060 for CCP. There are 31,700 in google books for CCP, and 14,100 for CPC. The New York Times uses Chinese Communist Party 3,900 times, while it uses Communist Party of China not at all. Based on these calculations, "Chinese Communist Party" is at least twice as frequently used as "Communist Party of China." The move appears uncontroversial, and fully in line with wikipedia policy as quoted above. Asdfg12345 02:53, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Che Guevara (photo) → Guerrillero Heroico — The only argument against moving this is that "Guerrillero Heroico" isn't the most widely used name in English. This is not true, as there is no other title used in English (with the possible exception of the English translation of Guerrillero Heroico). This picture, in English, is usually referenced with a description, rather than a name. So what we have now is not a name, but something someone made up. Redirects are useful things, so there isn't any reason to leave it at this non-title. ÷seresin 00:31, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

September 05, 2009

(Discuss) — World Series MVP Award → World Series Most Valuable Player Award — There's no reason to have "MVP" abbreviated in the lead. It's not really controversial; there's just a redirect in the way. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 19:53, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Breakfast at Tiffany's (film) → Breakfast at Tiffany's — to revert an undiscussed move from March 2009 with no reason given. This is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Station1 (talk) 19:50, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Dark dune spots → Planum Australe albedo features — Discussion above provided a (very limited; only two editors involved) consensus for a merge of the content of old Martian spider and Dark dune spots article. The articles have been merged into Dark dune spots however, even if discussion was still ongoing and no consensus was reached on a merge under that title. The previous discussion failed to provide evidence of scientific consensus for dark dune spots being an accepted synonim of spiders while conjectures about their relationships have been made. As such the merged article as such is misleading. I think that moving the article under an umbrella term covering all these types of geological features could be less controversial and less confusing and provide a natural framework to discuss the still unproven connection between these features. The name "Planum Australe albedo features" is just an early proposal; the essence of the proposal is using a neutral term for an article encompassing both types of features. Cyclopia (talk) 19:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Bachman-Turner Overdrive → Bachman–Turner Overdrive — As per the above section, this article should have an en dash in the name as per WP:ENDASH (like Bose–Einstein condensate). The name of this band links the Bachmans (Randy, Tim, and Robbie) with Fred Turner. Xnux the Echidna 19:15, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Pope Gregory I → Gregory the Great — More common name by far. Srnec (talk) 17:42, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Mac OS X Snow Leopard → Mac OS X 10.6 — This article should have not been moved but Warren still made this controversial move anyways. It needs to be moved back. 『 ɠu¹ɖяy 』 ^{¤ • ¢} 17:37, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Allied war crimes during World War II → Allegations of war crimes commited by Allied forces — I propose this change due to "Allied war crimes" being a controversial and relatively unusual term. The Allies were not charged with war crimes at the end of World War II, unlike the Axis powers, and allegations of supposed war crime were made much later on in revisionist histories. YeshuaDavid • Talk • 17:33, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Pope Leo I → Leo the Great — More common name. It is acceptable to make Leo, an early pope, an exception to the convention guarding consistency among popes. Srnec (talk) 17:24, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Leeds City Region Partnership → Leeds City Region — See above for full reasons. In short, the title is incorrect and there is consensus that the correct title should be given. Yunchy (talk) 17:21, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Meghwal → Megh (people) — After the move, Meghwar, Meghwal and Megh bhagat would all redirect to the new title, and the disambiguation page Megh would also link to the new title. The proposed new title seems more general, and does not seem controversial. If there is consensus after 7 days, the move will be made. Please comment below with Support or Oppose. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:21, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Recurrence relation → Difference equation — The references of this article and those posted by Rinconsoleao's in February 2009 (Talk) suggest that dif.eq. is the standard term. In any case the section Relationship to difference equations needs to be changed. It is probably incorrect that difference equations only refer to those resulting from taking the difference of time variables, but if so it is certainly not the case that only such equations have solutions similar to differential equations. Espen Sirnes (talk) 11:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Denial of the Armenian Genocide → Armenian genocide dispute — I suggest that we follow the lead of the BBC and move this article to Armenian genocide dispute and merge into it the article called recognition of the Armenian Genocide PBS (talk) 10:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Holy Crown of Hungary → Crown of St. Stephen — Crown of St. Stephen is most common name in English language sourcesAñtó| Àntó (talk) 09:34, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Asptro → Astro — Typo on page name. Actual text of page makes that clear 71.179.232.36 (talk) 00:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Seven Hills, Nevada → Seven Hills, Henderson, Nevada — per WP:MOS 67.180.161.183 (talk) 00:39, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

September 04, 2009

(Discuss) — Tim Clark (golfer) → Tim Clark — Over redirect - the golfer is the primary topic on Wikipedia. A hatnote to the only other Tim Clark, Tim Clark (Emirates Airline) will be added if the page is moved. — Tewapack (talk) 17:24, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Kopp-Etchells effect → Corona effect — The current name is a neologism. Research has now shown that the phenomenon is referred to as "corona effect' (see refs in article). That name was previously a redirect to a different article and now redirects to this article; so it is a matter of swapping the article with its redirect. This requires administrator assistance. Boson (talk) 16:54, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Kyuss2009/Shubert Spero → Shubert Spero — This page is ready to be put on wikipedia and thus needs moving from my user page. — Kyuss2009 (talk) 16:28, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Captain Iglo → Captain Birdseye — The article mostly deals with "Captain Birdseye" not "Captain Iglo". Captain Birdseye is a consistent name in the English speaking world (and this is English Wikipedia of course), however Captain Iglo varies between countries (Kap'n, Capitan, etc). 91.84.75.255 (talk) 14:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:Dcuwebmaster/Derby Choral Union → Derby Choral Union — My first article has been named "Dcuwebmaster/Derby Choral Union" but it would be better named "Derby Choral Union" to enable searches to be more effective. Dcuwebmaster (talk) 14:36, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Yeysk → Yeisk — "Yeisk" is the most common spelling. See Collins English Dictionary, Spelling Society Bulletin, New York Times, Time, Official Yeisk website, Chamber of Commerce and Industry Krasnodar Region, etc. Vermonter (talk) 13:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Czech (people) → Czechs — For consistency with the Wikipedia titling convention for ethnic groups, which is to use plural noun without any disambiguator (where possible): Germans, Russians, Italians. Cf. WP:PLURAL#Grammatical nicety. This was also the original name of this article, until User:SlamDiego unilaterally moved it on 17 July; it can't be moved back without administrator assistance since the redirect at Czechs was subsequently reedited. — Emil J. 13:14, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Norfolk Parakeet → Norfolk Island Green Parrot — To the more descriptive name of the parrot. Snowman (talk) 12:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Rosy-faced Lovebird → Peach-faced Lovebird — To the popular name of the lovebird. The species has a very popular name of "Peach-faced Lovebird", which has been the stable name of this article ~~since the page was started in 2005~~. If there is no consensus supporting the new name, then the page move should be reverted. Snowman (talk) 12:11, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Red-fronted Parrot → Jardine's Parrot — To the popular name of this parrot. The species has a very popular name of "Jardine's Parrot", which has been the stable name of this article since the page was started in 2006. If there is no consensus supporting the new name, then the page move should be reverted.Snowman (talk) 12:11, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Solomons Cockatoo → Ducorps' Cockatoo — To popular name of cockatoo. The species has a very popular name of "Ducorps' Cockatoo", which has been the stable name of this article since the page was started in 2005. If there is no consensus supporting the new name, then the page move should be reverted. Snowman (talk) 12:08, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Nanday Parakeet → Nanday Conure — To popular names of parrots. Snowman (talk) 10:55, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Golden Parakeet → Golden Conure
- Jandaya Parakeet → Jenday Conure
- Blue-crowned Parakeet → Blue-crowned Conure
- Red-masked Parakeet → Cherry-headed Conure

(Discuss) — White-bellied Parrot → White-bellied Caique — Parrots of this genus are popularly known as caiques. The name Caique is immediately recognisable and reduces confusion with other parrot names. Snowman (talk) 10:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Black-headed Parrot → Black-headed Caique

(Discuss) — Tanimbar Corella → Goffin's Corella — The species has a very popular name of "Goffin's Cockatoo", which has been the stable name of this article for much of its course since it was started in 2003. It was changed to its current name in January 2009, after much discussion; however consensus can change; see WP:CCC. Cockatoos of the genus are known as Corellas, so I suggest the new name of this page is "Goffin's Corrella", which is the name Joseph Forshaw uses. Snowman (talk) 10:01, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Expulsion of Germans after World War II → Flight and expulsion of Germans during and after WWII — The article is about the flight and expulsion. It isn't about Expulsion only, the title "Expulsion" is a literal translation from German "Vertreibung". Xx236 (talk) 09:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — White-cheeked Amazon → Kawall's Amazon — The species has popular name of "Kawall's Amazon", which has been the stable name of this article since the page was started in 2007. If there is no consensus supporting the new name, then the page move should be reverted. Further, white cheeks are not a notable feature of this parrot, so to me "white-cheeked" seems to be a bit of a misnomer. It has bare white skin at the base of its bill, which is not the same as white cheeks. In contrast, the Blue-cheeked Amazon clearly has blue feathers over its cheeks. Snowman (talk) 09:41, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Turquoise-fronted Amazon → Blue-fronted Amazon — The species has a very popular name of "Blue-fronted Amazon", which has been the stable name of this article since the page was started in 2004. If there is no consensus supporting the new name, then the page move should be reverted. Snowman (talk) 09:31, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Fuel economy in automobiles → Fuel_usage_in automobiles — The article is about fuel usage, as measured by the reciprocal quantities "fuel economy" (mpg) and "fuel consumption" (L/100 km). There should be a redirect from "Fuel_economy_in_automobiles" and "Fuel_consumption_in_automobiles" Adamtester (talk) 06:11, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Super S Karamelom → Super s karamelom — The correct capitalisation of the band's name is "Super s karamelom". See their official site and their Myspace page. They are also called "Super s karamelom" on the back cover of the Neki noviji klinci i... album ([1]). Vanjagenije (talk) 00:08, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

September 03, 2009

(Discuss) — Somàs → Sornàs — The article title, Somàs, is incorrect. The correct spelling is Sornàs – see geonames server. 85.94.186.91 (talk) 21:17, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — User:WHArchives/William Willet → William Willet — I have attempted to move my User:WHArchives/William Willet subpage page into the "live" Wikipedia space and rename it to William Willet. However, when I tried to move it, and rename it William Willet (because it is now a user page) I was unable to. A message in red came up explaining that there is another article with the same name. (This was not so when I created my William Willet user page.) I searched for the Wikipedia "William Willet" page, clicked on it and was directed to William Willett, Jr.. This article was originally "William Willet" (one "t") and renamed "William Willett, Jr." (double T) because (I assume) it was mistakenly named "William Willet" in the first place. Because this is the title of an historic individual I do not see how I can name my article anything else but "William Willet". ALSO, there is another article entitled: William Willett (double t). This is all rather confusing. Will it be possible to grant my request. Thank you for your help. WHArchives (talk) 21:03, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Naja nigricollis → Naja nigricollis — The species name should not be capitalized, only the genus name. Therefore the n in nigricollis should not be capitalized the way that it is currently. Mwherrr (talk) 21:02, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Template:Otheruses4 → Template:about — or {{otheruses}}, because the current name (with an arbitrary 4) is hard to remember and esoteric. Sligocki (talk) 20:20, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Tiškevičiai Palace, Palanga → Tyszkiewicz Palace, Palanga — Per arguments above, this is a palace of the Tyszkiewicz family, and we use the original family name on English Wikipedia (Tyszkiewicz), not the Lithuanized Tiškevičiai. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — City University, London → City University London — Much like King's College London and University College London, this is the university's actual name, as used on its website. Johnhousefriday (talk) 19:31, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Building of Commodity-stock exchange Saint Petersburg and a housing complex Financier → Saint Petersburg Financier building — The current title seems to be an imperfect translation from Russian. The Russia Journal (PDF) refers to "St. Petersburg Exchange" and "the exchange's floor on Vasilievsky Island"; The Moscow News weekly uses "Exchange building" with a capital letter; and the New York Times simply refers to a new exchange building without using a proper name. Cnilep (talk) 18:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Semicha → Semikhah — I've changed the spelling to the proper and commonly accepted "semikhah" (as is evidenced by the entries in every encyclopedia, and also by the "Further reading" section in this entry. For example see also:http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O101-Semikhah.html http://www.bookrags.com/tandf/semikhah-1-tf/ http://www.blackwellreference.com/public/tocnode?id=g9780631187288_chunk_g978063118728820_ss1-66 Romabers (talk) 17:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano → Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano — For some reason the accent over the first "i" in "Olimpico" was left out when the article was created, despite it being used in the lead and in the infobox. I would simply move the article myself, but there is currently a redirect. If/When the page is moved, I will change all of the links to the new page within the 2010 World Cup qualifying articles, though this page should be made a redirect to the new page. Thanks. — Football.Fútbol.Soccer 17:12, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — List of B-52 Stratofortress survivors → List of surviving B-52 Stratofortresses — These titles are just grammatically incorrect! It gives the idea that it is about people who have survived in said aircraft. And don't compare it to List of Foo operators because here it does refer to people operating said aircraft. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:20, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Extremaduran (línguistics) → Extremaduran — or to "Extremaduran language", I'm relatively neutral as to which (on one hand, most language articles are called "X language", on the other, there isn't an article about the Extremaduran people and its creation is unlikely), but certainly the current title is not acceptable, and neither would be the version without accented "í". LjL (talk) 11:45, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Barack Obama speech to joint session of Congress, 2009 → ? — As Obama is planning another speech to a joint session of Congress next week, should we move this to:*Barack Obama speech on the economy to joint session of Congress, 2009*Barack Obama speech to joint session of Congress, February 2009*Barack Obama first speech to joint session of Congress, 2009? F (talk) 08:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — United States House of Representatives elections in Delaware → United States House of Representatives elections in Delaware — — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viriditas (talk • contribs) 07:30, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Therese Sjölander → Therése Sjölander — (see talk page) Cunard (talk) 05:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Unequal Treaties → Unequal treaty — This was originally tagged as {{db-housekeeping}}, but I'm bringing it here because it could potentially be a controversial move. See this section on my talk page for more background. This is a procedural WP:RM request, so I am neutral. Cunard (talk) 05:39, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Saint Paul → Paul of Tarsus — This is dictated by the Wikipedia naming convention on use of the honorific "Saint". ^{Carlaude:Talk} 03:55, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Saint Timothy → Timothy — This is dictated by the Wikipedia naming convention on use of the honorific "Saint". ^{Carlaude:Talk} 03:51, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Saint John Chrysostom → John Chrysostom — This is dictated by the Wikipedia naming convention on use of the honorific "Saint". ^{Carlaude:Talk} 03:50, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — XDM → X Display Manager (implementation) — The software is usually abbreviated xdm, not XDM. The full name is X Display Manager but there's already X display manager. — 3247 (talk) 22:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- X display manager → X display manager (program type)
- User:3247/XDM (disambiguation) → XDM

(Discuss) — Corporación Digitel, C.A. → Digitel GSM — I believe this article should be moved to Digitel GSM, having the current article redirect to that one as Digitel GSM is currently the actual name of the company and is the way it is being referred to in the article. i couldn't move it because the Digitel GSM article already exists and is a redirect. 22:39, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

(Discuss) — 1974 Roman Gradual → Roman Gradual — The article is about the Roman Gradual, not just about the 1974 edition of the publication. Lima (talk) 15:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Paul Mazzolini → Gazebo (musician) — per WP:COMMON, had worldwide hits under his stagename, I am willing to retract this nomination if he was equally famous under his real name. Donnie Park (talk) 15:23, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Wetstraat/Rue de la Loi → Rue de la Loi — See reasoning above, standard practice is for just one language, the English isn't used and the French is by far more dominant than Flemish.- _J.Logan`^t: 13:58, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion → Wikipedia:Stub types for discussion — I think this page should be renamed to Wikipedia:Stub types for discussion, as it includes both deletion and rename. See e.g. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, setting a correct example. Let's have your opinions, please. Debresser (talk) 09:34, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Achaemenid Assyria → Athura — , the article seems to refer to this Athura throughout. I think it would make sense to move this article to that location. Pahari Sahib 07:38, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Sun Parakeet → Sun Conure — (see talk page) Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 05:08, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — All the President's Men (novel) → All the President's Men — It's a famous non-fiction work, not a novel. Deserves the name slot per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Recent move made no sense. — Wasted Time R (talk) 02:05, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — David Gribble (Robot Wars) → David Gribble — There's 2 well know David Gribbles. Should be a disambig page. --Lispolesnookerfan (talk) 00:53, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

September 01, 2009

(Discuss) — Lisa Marie → Lisa Marie Smith — There's 3 famous "Lisa Marie"s. Lisa Marie should be a disambig page. --208.38.59.163 (talk) 20:53, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Isfahan → Esfahan — The Esfahan pronounce is correcter. Javadz 1385 (talk) 18:36, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — List of Supermarine Spitfire survivors → List of surviving Supermarine Spitfires — I first thought this page was about people who survived in a Spitfire. Suggested title is much clearer and more grammatically correct. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 17:50, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — -omics → Omics — The sources referenced and some of the external links use the spelling Omics. This spelling is in line with Wikipedia naming conventions, which generally discourage non-alphanumeric characters and prefer initial capital letters. It also draws attention to the phenomenon among biologists, as opposed to discussing the suffix as a suffix. (That is already handled at Wiktionary.) Omics is currently a redirect to -omics. Cnilep (talk) 17:12, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Michael D'Arcy, Snr → Michael D'Arcy — Michael D'Arcy was never known as Michael D'Arcy, Snr. This is a wikipedia invention to distinguish him from his son Michael W. D'Arcy, which used to be at Michael D'Arcy, Jnr. Snappy (talk) 16:45, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Yeoman → Yeoman (word) — Apparently the previous discussion was too entangled with another one to take. Here's a fresh start. This article is about the word, not any one concept, and therefore should not be at the base name. (In other words, because multiple concepts are discussed in this article, no one concept can be considered to be primary.) Powers ^T 15:28, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Kolkata → Calcutta — The name of the place is Calcutta, and not Kolkata. --Milkbreath (talk) 13:40, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Olympic weightlifting → Weightlifting (sport) — I realize that I'm late to this discussion but may I suggest changing to Weightlifting (sport). It seems odd to me that the sport at the Pan American Games and other non-olympic events is called Olympic weightlifting. J04n(talk page) 13:13, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Wikipedia:Why I hate Speedy Deleters → User:Balloonman/Why I hate Speedy Deleters — Mostly personal opinion of Balloonman ("my !voting history" in the lede), which is outside the realm of most Project pages. Syrthiss (talk) 13:11, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Kanthaswamy (film) → Kanthaswamy — — An inconsiderate user suddenly, without any discussion changed the original page and made it a redirect to a different article. The film in question was only released a week ago, and is the home of many page hits so it needs a quick move back to its original page, with a warning for the changer. Universal Hero (talk) 12:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Phoenix Album → Phoenix (The Warlocks album) — The album title is Phoenix, and Phoenix (The Warlocks album) is the correctly disambiguated location for the article. That page is already occupied by another article about this album, but that article is very rudimentary--an intro sentence, an unfilled Infobox, and a track listing. Simply merging in the info from this article, Phoenix Album, would amount to a cut-and-paste move rather than a true merge. The other article should be deleted so that this much better developed one can be moved to the correct location. ShelfSkewed Talk 02:52, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Habilitation → ? — I'm not sure if "2nd doctorate" would be appropriate, but since I had the exact same question at the user below did back in July I figured that I'd ask for wider input. I would think that something like "Post Doctorate Degree" would be appropriate, wouldn't it?

(Discuss) — 2012 phenomenon → ? — We've had a nice long discussion on the proper name for this page and I'd like to put it to a vote. Here's what I see as the facts:# The term "doomsday" or "end of the world" does not cover all the fluffy New Age stuff discussed in this article.# However, "2012 millenarianism" is a phrase we made up (I haven't seen it in our sources).# "Millenarianism" is hard to spell and remember. This is no small problem: one of our primary naming conventions is that "article names should be easily recognizable by English speakers".# Academics who discuss this objectively as a cultural phenomenon (rather than taking sides) seem to describe it as the "2012 phenomenon".# WP:NC: "Wikipedia determines the recognizability of a name by seeing what verifiable reliable sources in English call the subject." QED.Arguments against this move: # It could be misconstrued as giving credence to thoroughly non-scientific claims. My response to this is that the link from "phenomenon" to "natural phenomena" to "future event" is quite a stretch, and to make it you would have to ignore the entire content of the page.# I just moved this page. :) But that was a temporary measure, not based on consensus.So, please state whether you are for or against the move here, and if you are against propose an alternate name and cite policy for it.

(Discuss) — Össur → Ossur — The article was recently moved from Ossur to Össur via Össur hf - partly through cut and paste. I'm proposing that it be moved back to Ossur - the company does not use the diacritic in its English language communications (see here), and so WP:UE applies here, I think.

(Discuss) — Wilmington Station (Delaware) → Wilmington (Amtrak station) — I know this has been moved several times in the past, but the current name doesn't follow the current naming conventions for Amtrak stations. Most Amtrak stations that are served by little commuter rail like this one are given the name "X (Amtrak station)". Why not this one? Murjax (talk) 17:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — 8P8C → RJ-45 — WP:UCN dictates that this article should be at the most commonly used title, and that is RJ-45. Here are a few published references that specifically attest to the widespread usage of RJ-45 over 8P8C: [2] [3] [4]. Note that these books are quite critical of the 8P8C terminology, noting that only "networking purists" and "the nerdiest of nerds" use this terminology, and everyone else ignores it. *** Crotalus *** 15:36, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — Airborne Early Warning and Control → Airborne early warning and control — Lowercase spelling of "airborne early warning and control" is correct and necessary unless it's a proper noun, in other words when part of the official name of one of these systems in a specific country or military alliance. See for example Britannica: Over-the-horizon radars and AWACS (airborne warning and control systems) are even more promising. Uppercase spelling of the lemma would violate Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(capital_letters)#Acronyms_and_initialisms. --Espoo (talk) 12:17, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) — 1 E-18 s → Attosecond — "Attosecond" is a well known SI unit, and a word. The title in exponential notation is also recognizable, but could be written in many slightly different ways, and it really is a mathematical formula (1 times ten to the -18) plus an abbreviation ("s" for seconds). There are some other pages in this format - in the See Also links the 10^-19 page is still active, but the 10^-15 page has been redirected to orders of magnitude (time). I strongly believe that attoseconds deserve their own page because it is a place to compare quantities and (one hopes with further development) tools and techniques for measurement. That can be done if the page is about a notable SI unit "attosecond", but eventually someone would challenge the idea of having a page for every real number of seconds.I should note that I think this move shouldn't be controversial, but I wasn't sure - I'd have moved it myself but a separate article at Attosecond was merged into this one previously. I don't want to just merge back the opposite direction because this has the longer edit history. Wnt (talk) 21:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

+* ''([[Template talk:Globalize#Move request|Discuss]])'' — '''[[Template:Globalize]] → [[Template:Worldwide]]''' — I find it worrying that this move hasn't already been done. It's ironic and almost insulting that a template requesting a globalised view rather than a local one would itself promote American English over British English. I'm not saying all templates should be moved to neutral words, but it should be obvious why this one is an exception.
