Technical requests[edit]
Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]
- North Springs Charter High School of Arts and Sciences → North Springs High School (currently a redirect back to North Springs Charter High School of Arts and Sciences) (move · discuss) – No longer a charter school and reverted back to its original name Yedaman54 (talk) 21:54, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- KFF Tirana AS → Tirana AS (currently a redirect back to KFF Tirana AS) (move · discuss) – The club's name has always been Tirana AS and shouldn't be confused with a different club which has a similar name, KFF Tirana. Kj1595 (talk) 17:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Draft:Merel Maes → Merel Maes (currently a redirect instead to 2023 Belgian Indoor Athletics Championships) (move · discuss) – Redirect blocking the move Hildreth gazzard (talk) 22:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]
Contested technical requests[edit]
- Monte Mars → Mont Mars (currently a redirect instead to Monte Mars) (move · discuss) – "Mont Mars" is far more widely sourced on the Internet that "Monte Mars". --Simoncik84 (talk) 13:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Simoncik84: The rest of the pages in Category:Mountains of the Biellese Alps use Monte. If you want to make an argument that they should all be renamed, that would need a formal move discussion. See WP:RMPM for instructions. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)- I'm talking here about Mont Mars only. Among the pages of this category, it's the only one with an entirely French name. Some of the other summits of this category stay on the water divide between the Province of Biella and the Aosta Valley. In the latest, French is co-official with Italian, these summits have therefore two official names (in Italian and in French), as you can see in the articles' introduction, but not Mont Mars, which has a name in French only.

- Nisqually Indian Tribe of the Nisqually Reservation → Nisqually Indian Tribe (currently a redirect back to Nisqually Indian Tribe of the Nisqually Reservation) (move · discuss) – Change name to match name of tribe on the Federal Register Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 05:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not Nisqually tribe (or Nisqually Tribe or Nisqually Indian tribe)? Also, is "Indian" the best word choice here? — BarrelProof (talk) 10:31, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sources are mixed on use of "indian", even the tribe's official website uses it. As to the title, I'm not sure entirely whether we should use the federal register or dive deeper to find the common name via sources, I'm leaning towards the second (not sure if there's a special convention here though) ASUKITE 13:58, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- I prefer a full RM given that Native American-related discussions on Wikipedia are not uncontroversial and have attracted some outside attention; the WP:CR#Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 27#Category:Unrecognized tribes in the United States references news coverage. Local consensus on the topic has also not been uncontroversial—for example, Talk:Lily Gladstone#"Native American" actress left open the question that whether WP:NDNID (an essay) overrides the what the usual WP:RS say (Aquillon and others) and whether it is uncontroversial for NDNID to be in MOS:BIO (voorts). Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 16:09, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think it follows that because some Native American topics have been controversial that all of them are. I don't think it's controversial to ask that the article use the name used on the tribe's website and on the Federal Register. But I'm fine with a full RM if other editors insist on that.

- I'm going by the name of the tribe as listed on the Federal Register as well as on the tribe's website. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 21:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

- This can be discussed by clicking the "discuss" link in the header above if you wish ASUKITE 20:52, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- ASUKITE (all caps because copy-paste, not shouting), are you suggesting this discussion belongs on Talk:Nisqually Indian Tribe of the Nisqually Reservation instead of here? i'm replying here because discussion i see a discussion here, and don't see one there.
- Just wanted to mention i heard on TV (PBS? i'll need to see if i can find/remember my source so i can cite it properly) the United States government uses "Indian" instead of "Native American" in legal documents. That might not outweigh Wikipedia's policy about common names, but is something else to consider.

- Meath → Meath (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Meath) (move · discuss) – It should be made a disambiguation page so Meath can be redirected to County Meath, which is the primary topic. TwinBoo (talk) 14:49, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Probably worth a discussion, as the historical Kingdom of Meath clearly has a long-term significance as well. Navigation statistics show that around 30% of viewers on the dab page go there, which is reasonably high given that County Meath is a current extant county where people live... Might be worth a discussion? — Amakuru (talk) 15:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Still, usually “Meath” simply refers to the county so I’d assume it would be the primary topic, but I’ll make a discussion if necessary. —TwinBoo (talk) 11:19, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Exactly TwinBoo, a community consensus after discussion is the best option. Are you opting in for that? Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose moving, for that matter. The kingdom definitely has long-term significance, and "Meath", as a historical entity, doesn't have the current subdivision as its primary topic. Meath was also one of the historical provinces of Ireland (although their extent fluctuated over time), so I'm surprised that isn't also mentioned in the dab.

- Karst Shepherd → Karst Shepherd Dog (currently a redirect back to Karst Shepherd) (move · discuss) – name used in FCI standard and more commonly used Traumnovelle (talk) 22:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

- Kerma kingdom → Kingdom of Kerma (currently a redirect instead to Kerma culture) (move · discuss) – in line with rest of page Alexanderkowal (talk) 15:31, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Alexanderkowal Just a note that the title prior to your move, Kerma culture, has historically been the much more common phrase per Google Ngrams, and remains the more common phrase in British english, so this may be an WP:ENGVAR issue where the title should've remained at Kerma culture. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 00:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)- The article is on the kingdom (political history) not the society (social history) and the info box has Kingdom of Kerma. I think calling it a culture reduces it, Kerma’s size was as big as the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Nubia has often been overlooked, much more so in the 20th century Alexanderkowal (talk) 08:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
