Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

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=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.

Euclidean n-space (currently a redirect to Euclidean space) → Euclidean space (move · discuss) – Revert a move done without any discussion. If there were a discussion, I would have strongly opposed. D.Lazard (talk) 10:44, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

@TonyTheTiger I reverted the undiscussed move back to the original title of Hermes Europe, which seems like reasonable natural disambiguation. I think if you want it to be moved to a different title than the original title that should be discussed. Galobtter (pingó mió) 02:28, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of political parties in Russia → Political parties in Russia (currently a redirect back to List of political parties in Russia) (move · discuss) – As I mentioned in the talk page when suggesting the offer, this article deals with various aspects of the system and aspects of political parties in Russia (history, overview, legal aspects etc.) and is not a mere list of parties. Just as there are articles called Political parties in Ukraine or Political parties in the United States. Thank you for the help. Rakoon (talk) 20:45, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kj cheetham, Thanks for the reply, so I should copy the request to 'Current discussions' section? Rakoon (talk) 12:34, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fall River Marksmen (currently a redirect to Fall River F.C. (1922–1931)) → Fall River F.C. (currently a redirect instead to Fall River F.C. (1932)) (move · discuss) – There is a previously moved article called Fall River F.C. that has been moved to Fall River F.C. (1932). So the redirect is currently occupied preventing Fall River Marksmen moving there. -- Libro0 (talk) 04:41, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

Hi, would you please be able to show evidence that the club from the 1920's should be at the base title, while the one from the 1930's should have a disambiguator? As opposed to, for example, a dabpage at the base title? Dr. Vogel (talk) 08:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Courtesy ping @Libro0 Silikonz💬 21:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I can provide evidence to that effect. I can provide countless references to what the team's official name is. The other team played a season in 1932 and was significantly less notable. I can provide citations in their respective articles. It would help me to organize these articles which need more attention. The 1920's team was quite notable and had the name much longer. This information is shown in these articles. Titling articles with nicknames should be avoided because I have renamed an article that had a totally erroneous nickname while other teams have had several nicknames over different periods.

DrVogel do you want to contest this move? -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:11, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I left it here because I'm on the fence and I wanted to see more opinions. My gut feeling with this one is that a dabpage or even a merge would be better than moving one of the 2 clubs to the base title, but I could be persuaded either way. Dr. Vogel (talk) 13:05, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This ngram would suggest that the current title is marginally the common name. So I don't think this is Uncontroversial. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 07:47, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multivariate calculus, for that matter. Silikonz💬 15:28, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

it's all about multiple variables, called "multivariate" in adjective form.

Fgnievinski, that does not address the question of how the base name will address all the related articles. Silikonz💬 15:35, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

Fgnievinski I think it's mostly okay. I'll take a more in-depth look at it in a bit. Also, curious choice to put it in user talk space. Silikonz💬 17:15, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

I'm inclined to move the draft over mainspace, where we could have more space for discussion.
fgnievinski (talk) 01:24, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

As noted by Dr. Vogel below, it makes no sense to have a "univariate and multivariate" article at all, either the present one or the draft. That term should just redirect back to the current disambiguation page so readers can find the specific topic they want for this term. Other than that, leave as is. — Amakuru (talk) 08:00, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So,
Univariate and multivariate. I'm not even sure why we have those to be honest. The word multivariate on its own doesn't mean much. It's always multivariate something. If this was left to me, I'd just redirect everything to the dabpage, and leave the dabpage at the base title. I'm contesting this, I don't think it's uncontroversial.

fgnievinski (talk) 01:23, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

Yes, that's one of the options. But at the very least, I haven't seen any evidence that anything other than the dabpage should have the base title here. See also Amakuru's comment above. Please start an RM if you feel strongly that this should be moved. Let me know if you need help setting up an RM. Dr. Vogel (talk) 11:47, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: This seems to be an

Although I agree with you that the title you're proposing makes more sense than the actual name of the airport, that's the name supported by all the sources. And the move you're referring to was done 10 years ago. Dr. Vogel (talk) 20:19, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
