Wikipedia talk:Requested moves

f/F

There's something needs sorting out (I think); it may have been discussed before, and this may not be the place however. Do let me know.

Pulp fiction and Pulp Fiction are two separate pages, one a dab for the term 'pulp fiction' and the other the film. This strikes me as less than ideal. pablo 17:28, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

It's not unusual to have two pages that differ only slightly due to capitalization, punctuation or pluralization. See WP:PRECISION and WP:CAPS#Page names that only differ by capitalization. It makes sense in this case because someone searching for or linking to "Pulp Fiction" is more likely expecting the popular movie, while someone searching for or linking to "pulp fiction", which is not properly a name, might be looking for something else. In either case there are prominent links at each page to help get the minority where they want to go. Station1 (talk) 20:39, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. pablo 13:00, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Missing discussion

I think I screwed up somehow and the move request that I posted on Wikipedia talk:GLAM/SI#Let's move project pages and categories to standard names isn't listed on WP:RM. Hmm. Disavian (talk) 08:02, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Reverting inappropriate page moves

Is there any way to have inappropriate page moves reverted when an admin action is needed (such as a redirect page deletion) other than putting it in as a Request Move?
In the case of an inappropriate bold edit to article text, it can be reverted and discussed; with an inappropriate page move (which is arguably more disruptive) the page is stuck there while the RM process unfolds. The disadvantage of using RM is that .a) it takes at least 7 days to complete .b) it puts the onus on the editor who wants to fix it, rather than on the editor who caused the problem.
This is prompted by the RM here, but it isn’t the first time I’ve come across the problem; what’s the remedy? Moonraker12 (talk) 13:43, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Battle of Tabsor (1918)

Hi in the process of moving this article from User:RoslynSKP/Battle of Tabsor (1918) it got moved to User:Battle of Tabsor (1918). Now I can't get rid of the "User:" bit. Can someone please help move this article to Battle of Tabsor (1918)? --Rskp (talk) 04:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Fixed - for some reason, the new version of the page move tool requires you to select the namespace you want to use. Don't ask me how it made anything easier. Parsecboy (talk) 19:14, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Yes I got caught, saw it just after I hit save. Really appreciate your help. Kind regards, --Rskp (talk) 23:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Unseen character (video games)

The page Unseen character has been around for a long time. The term is one that has a long history in the theatre. Today an editor retitled that page Unseen character (video games), even though the article makes no reference to video games at all. (It mentions theatre, film, television, radio, and books, but not video games.) I request that the move be reverted. 99.192.84.134 (talk) 19:00, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Per WP:PRECISE, titles aren't disambiguated unless the term is ambiguous. Considering the fact that the term is not ambiguous, I am not sure why the page was moved in the first place. I'll drop a note on the user's talk page. Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 19:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
