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.

• 441st Air Expeditionary Squadron (currently a redirect to 441st Bombardment Squadron) → 441st Bombardment Squadron (move · discuss) – Page was moved from suggested title in 2012, apparently to list under most current name. However, unit notability, including combat in World War II and being one of first two B-52 squadrons to deploy for combat in Southeast Asia has been as a bombardment unit, not as a deployment support unit Lineagegeek (talk) 12:17, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
• Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area → Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park (currently a redirect back to Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area) (move · discuss) – The state park was renamed per the official Tennessee State Parks website from "Area" to "Park". ACase0000 (talk) 19:24, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

  There's a lot of duplicated content between Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area and Sycamore Shoals. I wonder if merging the two might be a better outcome here. --Ahecht (TALK

• Dersim rebellion (currently a redirect to Dersim massacre) → Dersim massacre (move · discuss) – Per Special:Permalink/1224083577#Requested move 12 May 2024. Toadette^Edit! 14:08, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

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

• – Notable name in media Claggy (talk) 21:02, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Oppose: It's not clear what is meant by "Notable name" here. "Sifu" is an honorific, and Wikipedia mostly avoids attaching honorifics in article titles. The source that I checked in the article just calls him Robert McInnes. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:32, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

• Court House, Virginia → Courthouse, Virginia (currently a redirect back to Court House, Virginia) (move · discuss) – Misspelled. Source: [1] Keystone18 (talk) 23:48, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Keystone18: This requires discussion. Not only has this been moved several times already, but sources differ on spelling, and in any case, as a neighborhood this belongs at Courthouse, Arlington or Court House, Arlington, not using the state. Station1 (talk) 06:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

• Caaguazú Department → Caaguazú department (currently a redirect back to Caaguazú Department) (move · discuss) – Change to sentence case (MOS:AT) Wracking ^talk! 03:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
• Caazapá Department → Caazapá department (currently a redirect back to Caazapá Department) (move · discuss) – Change to sentence case (MOS:AT) Wracking ^talk! 03:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
• Paraguarí Department → Paraguarí department (currently a redirect back to Paraguarí Department) (move · discuss) – Change to sentence case (MOS:AT) Wracking ^talk! 03:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
• Presidente Hayes Department → Presidente Hayes (currently a redirect back to Presidente Hayes Department) (move · discuss) – Make shorter (WP:CONCISE, WP:PRECISE) Wracking ^talk! 03:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Is 'Department' the proper noun in these instances? Randy Kryn (talk) 14:52, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

• Fender amplifier → Fender amplifiers (currently a redirect back to Fender amplifier) (move · discuss) – Per the talk page, the article is about an entire product line, not just one amp. Mbinebri (talk) 12:51, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

  WP:NCPLURAL would suggest otherwise. Even if it is a whole class of amps, it can still be referred to in the singular, e.g. in his other hand is a Fender amplifier he's borrowed from somebody. So the default is singular, and the 2017 move seems correct.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:24, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

• Pingelly, Western Australia (currently a redirect to Pingelly) → Pingelly (move · discuss) – Remove unnecessary disambiguation. Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 00:59, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

@Adam Black GB: These are not uncontroversial per WP:NCAUST. Remsense诉 02:47, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

@Remsense: Are they not? however, the name of a city or town may be used alone if the place is the primary or only topic for that name seems to indicate that as long as they're primary topics (which they seem to be), the disambiguator can be removed. I would've probably moved this bunch without this comment. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 11:23, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

@Remsense, the policy clearly states as @Skarmory points out that the name of a town can be used alone without the state so I disagree that these are controversial in any way because they are all the primary topics for each name, highlighted by the fact that all of the targets of the moves I've requested redirect back to the longer disambiguated names. I can see, for example, why the town of Beverley, Western Australia needs disambiguation, but why does Pingelly when it is the primary topic? Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 12:16, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

I withdraw my contestation. Remsense诉 12:25, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
