An admin saw a request to move the U.S. ebola page and went ahead and moved it to Ebola virus cases in the United States. I opened a section on the talk page. Per our discussion, I like it and think it should stay. What do you think? SW3 5DL (talk) 22:20, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my first thought was to have the admin revert himself because I could justify that with a link to the page move discussion. And maybe I should have, but then I thought, it seemed a less controversial title. My concern is that the political types will show up and that would be very disruptive for the article. Should I ask the admin to revert himself? SW3 5DL (talk) 23:36, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

XD, yes, suddenly the Emperor will have no clothes. "Oh, our bad, outbreak over. As you were." SW3 5DL (talk) 14:55, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your title suggestion might be the one. That does cover it best. I'm not going to comment until the end. I want to see where this is at. Thanks for commenting. SW3 5DL (talk) 15:41, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, we do have plenty of other open discussions. Hopefully after the RfC bit is settled and the title, we can have discussions directed at the article, and the other articles, too. Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 16:54, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

straw poll

@SW3 5DL: I'm not entirely certain what to do...I don't have much experience with contentious moves like this. I reread the original move discussion, and there's basically nobody arguing for "disease" rather than supporting the move in order to remove "outbreak". In fact, "cases" was repeatedly suggested during the move discussion. The editor who made the move request also endorsed your logic about the proposed title. So I now feel like the closing admin really should've addressed the fact that the move caused a content dispute, rather than just saying "use a hatnote" after the fact.

There are two users opposing another move, one being the closer, so I don't think we have consensus without a full RM. I'm wondering if I should go back to the closing admin and ask him to reevaluate (but I get the sense he won't), or if maybe I should start an RfC asking whether the hatnote is appropriate rather than having the article match the title. Suggestions? (I guess I could ask for a move review, but I don't know if that would be productive, or if it'd just waste people's time.)

(e/c)I noticed the same issue with the word 'outbreak' on the RM discussion. The nominator of that discussion now realizes his error, and supports the move. I think what will settle it is if a new RM is opened, or even a proper RfC with a template and the bot notifications, etc., and make a statement straight off that alerts editors to the stable version versus the problems with the word disease. I'll go take a look at the talk page. SW3 5DL (talk) 17:10, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've not been around in a few days, but I wanted to drop you a note to let you know that the straw poll you got going has some helpful comments. Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 19:57, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
