Technical requests
[edit]Uncontroversial technical requests
[edit]- Godfrey Bitock → Godfrey Bitok (currently a redirect instead to Godfrey Stephen) (move · discuss) – Most common spelling for COMMONNAME Ortizesp (talk) 21:04, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Ortizesp: I'm not sure the common name is necessarily clear here, although I agree it shouldn't be at the current title. I see "Godfrey Bitok Stephen" ([1]), "Godfrey Bitok" ([2]), and "Godfrey Stephen" ([3]). It looks like "Godfrey Bitok Stephen" appears the most. C F A 💬 22:59, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- 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: [4]. Inexpiable (talk) 20:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Inexpiable: You can move this on your own. See WP:MOR. SilverLocust 💬 03:57, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Radio in New York City → Template:New York City Radio (currently a redirect back to Template:Radio in New York City) (move · discuss) – Self-explanatory. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 22:09, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
[edit]Contested technical requests
[edit]- 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}}.

- 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

- 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)

- @Omert33 Moved to contested due to WP:COI concerns - COI moves are automatically controversial. IMO, "knowing somebody who knows somebody" is still a connection and makes this a first-party request. (On that note, thanks for your honesty. It's better to have a discussion to ensure the intended title remains in-place) ASUKITE 15:13, 16 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
PAGE) 17:51, 15 August 2024 (UTC) - Is a rename needed for a template? A lot of our templates, especially navboxes of this type, have short, if sometimes cryptic, names. This one is concise enough. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:24, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
