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: 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=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

Ch'oe Sung-no (currently a redirect to Ch'oe Sŭng-no) → Ch'oe Sŭng-no (move · discuss) – Consistent use of diacritic. Without the diacritic it is ambiguous how it is spelled (sung -> 숭 vs sǔng -> 승). toobigtokale (talk) 09:55, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hexahydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione (currently a redirect to Spinochrome E) → Spinochrome E (move · discuss) – Common name is preferred over systematic chemical name per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (chemistry). Marbletan (talk) 15:23, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

Dashboard (visualization) (currently a redirect to Dashboard (computing)) → Dashboard (software) (currently a redirect instead to Dashboard (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – Dashboard (software) is currently a redirect. This name would be more appropriate for Dashboard (visualization ) as it standardized it with Control panel (software) GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 20:03, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that this would be incomplete disambiguation (WP:INCDAB), as other topics in Dashboard (disambiguation)#Computing and technology also consist of software. I think there should be some better disambiguator to use than this (or the previous Dashboard (business), which was underinclusive). On a side note, I have removed the extraneous space in the title you moved it to earlier, Dashboard (visualization ). SilverLocust 💬 21:02, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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 (currently a redirect to Median kingdom) → Median kingdom (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]

Looking at ngrams, other than a brief period of time from 2003-2007, Median empire seems to consistently be the more popular term, so I would support a move to that title as well. @Mawer10, if you want to pursue this further, please click on the "discuss" link in your submission above to open a discussion on the talk page. --Ahecht (TALK

Boáz_Klartag → Bo'az_Klartag (currently a redirect back to Boáz Klartag) (move · discuss) – wrong spelling Gamesou (talk) 10:19, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can see three different spellings of his name in various sources from multiple countries: Boáz, Bo'az, and Boaz. Deciding which one is correct requires some more evidence. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:55, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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]
It's not relevant what term is used in Russian sources. This is the English Wikipedia, so the name should be based on what term English sources use. Bensci54 (talk) 16:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If so, there will be no redirect page Borisenko-ru (talk) 20:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No doubt this is a good faith request, and probably that is the correct name in Russian, but I feel like this request has no chance of succeeding. The name siege of Leningrad is I think well-attested in sources for this major historical event, and it leads the proposed title in book hits: [1]. Anyway, whichever way you look at it, it's not an Uncontroversial request. — Amakuru (talk) 21:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Borisenko-ru It's obvious this move is potentially controversial. If you wish to pursue it, please click on the "discuss" link in your submission to open a discussion on the article's talk page. --Ahecht (TALK
