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=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.

• Garze Gesaer Airport → Garze Gesar Airport (currently a redirect back to Garze Gesaer Airport) (move · discuss) – Gesar is most common English spelling, e.g. Epic of King Gesar. Johnj1995 (talk) 21:35, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

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

• 1919 Egyptian Revolution → 1919 Egyptian revolution (currently a redirect back to 1919 Egyptian Revolution) (move · discuss) – The last RM discussion came down on the side of lowercase revolution, and then a subsequent undiscussed move capped it. Dicklyon (talk) 02:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
• 1952 Egyptian Revolution → 1952 Egyptian revolution (currently a redirect back to 1952 Egyptian Revolution) (move · discuss) – The last 2 RM discussions came down on the side of lowercase revolution, and then this undiscussed move capped it a year ago. Dicklyon (talk) 02:35, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

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

• Statue of Jackie Robinson (Jersey City) → Statue of Jackie Robinson (Jersey City, New Jersey) (currently a redirect back to Statue of Jackie Robinson (Jersey City)) (move · discuss) – fixed disambiguator per naming Wikipedia naming customs Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:38, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

• Why is this move needed? While there is a convention to include the state in naming articles for US cities/towns -- this does not necessarily apply to the parenthetical disambiguator. Consider, for example, Category:Culture of Jersey City, New Jersey -- there are several others using only "(Jersey City)" and the same can be found for many other US cities/towns. older ≠ wiser 11:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

• Jitendra Singh (politician, born 1971) → Bhanwar Jitendra Singh (currently a redirect back to Jitendra Singh (politician, born 1971)) (move · discuss) – Commonly used full name, that will remove the need for the unnecessary excessive disambiguation present at the moment. MrMkG (talk) 00:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @MrMkG I don't know too much about how Indian names/titles work, but only one of the sources in the article uses Bhanwar Jitendra Singh, while most just Jitendra Singh or Shri Jitendra Singh seem more common. --Ahecht (TALK
  PAGE) 14:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  It's like a first first name, if that makes sense. Some people have it. Shri is a honorific like Mister. Only two of the sources in the article are independent news sources and Bhanwar is used by one of them. News sources commonly use Bhanwar so that he doesn't get confused with another Jitendra Singh who is an active politician. Even if it were less used which it isn't, it would still be more accessible without the disambiguation (who knows birth years?). MrMkG (talk) 22:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
