Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

I've left a message on the previous mover's Talk page. I'd like to figure out that weird edit summary accusation before performing this move. Toadspike [Talk] 10:18, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've reverted the recent page move, back to Pont de la Concorde (Montreal)... as far as I can tell from sources such as [1][2][3] it is reasonably common to use the French title in English works. At the very least this merits a discussion. Also, as an aside, I wouldn't support the move suggested here anyway. "Concorde Bridge" can just as easily refer to the bridge in Paris as the one in Montreal, even in English.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:51, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Howver, Paris is French, but Montreal is bilingual English and French, so the affinity falls towards Montreal and not Paris. And Montreal English exists, even if the Provincial Government of Quebec has outlawed its use in official contexts, such as the bridge name. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 04:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
None of this is relevant to WP:COMMONNAME. Furthermore, "Concorde Bridge" is clearly ambiguous. 162 etc. (talk) 17:07, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not uncontroversial or technical. Proposals regarding actress/actor require full discussions for the record on talk pages. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 17:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kaliforniyka, I'm contesting this request because of a primary topic grab. They are not clearly uncontroversial for us movers, and typically involve shifting more than one page around. You will need to start a full RM, which can be done with the "discuss" button in your request. Sennecaster (Chat) 06:45, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
