current name seems to insult Syria

The 2011 Syrian Revolution demoted to the obscure corners of Revolution of Dignity (disambiguation) is also called the "Revolution of Dignity". Notable voices like Abdeljelil Temimi and Mohamed-Salah Omri have referred to it this way. I worry about racism and recentism giving rise to having Ukraine monopolize this phrase. Why are whites in Ukraine more deserving of "dignity" than the Arab Spring?

I think the only fair way to do this would be to call them Syria revolution of dignity and Ukraine revolution of dignity.

That way the countries and their dignified revolutions would be treated equally. LichCake (talk) 03:00, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You could simply change the title on the infobox on the “Syrian Revolution of Dignity” page if you want. I suggest that we change the title from “Revolution of Dignity” to “Ukrainian revolution of 2014”. TankDude2000 (talk) 18:25, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Already changed the titles. TankDude2000 (talk) 06:39, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Question: why? M.Bitton (talk) 20:28, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Not done: it's not clear why you want to make this change, and it does not appear to have consensus. Please discuss before making a new request, which should be of the form "please change X to Y". Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:56, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Requested move 13 April 2023

(non-admin closure) WP:SNOW close. Too soon after the last move request and no arguments have been put forth that address the points raised last time. — Czello 07:51, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Revolution of Dignity → Ukrainian Revolution of 2014 – Most revolutions that may have “dignity” in their titles are not shown like this. For example: the Tunisian Revolution page may be called “Tunisian Revolution of Dignity”, but it is not shown like that on wikipedia. The title “Revolution of Dignity” may be used for more revolutions, so it would create a confusion. TankDude2000 (talk) 18:33, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@TankDude2000: No, this is disruptive. The last move discussion has been closed just two weeks ago. I removed the template, so that the robot will not list the discussion anywhere. Rsk6400 (talk) 18:51, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Bro, I was stating another reason. Stop targeting new users! TankDude2000 (talk) 19:03, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No one's targeting you. Nonetheless, ultimately the last discussion demonstrated that WP:COMMONNAME is a major factor here, which is why the name shouldn't change. As for possible confusion with other similarly-named revolutions, the top of the article links to Revolution of Dignity (disambiguation) for clarity. — Czello 19:07, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What was the tally of media outlets who began calling it that and how did that change over time? Just curious if it was a term popular back in 2014 or in later years. LichCake (talk) 01:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
information Administrator note: I've restored the move template: it was not appropriate for an involved participant to shut down the discussion. This is not a rehash of the previous discussion, new arguments have been presented. If you would like to propose a moratorium on new move requests then please do so; there being no such moratorium as far as I can tell, this discussion proceeds.

Thanks! TankDude2000 (talk) 19:14, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Also, my comment is not an endorsement of the request. If I have an opinion I will comment later. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:22, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Requested move 16 April 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: WP:SNOW close. I'm going to boldly close this as it's borderline disruptive at this point and entering the realms of tendentious editing. The articles OP mentions only have "Dignity" in them because OP added them himself (which has now been undone). TankDude2000 is advised to read WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NPOV, and not to unilaterally rename other articles for no other reason than to support a rename of this one.

Revolution of Dignity → Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity – As the Syrian and Yemeni revolutions now have “Dignity” in their titles, I suggest we add “Ukrainian” in this page’s title to distinguish itself from the other Revolutions of Dignity.

Revolution of Dignity → Maidan Revolution – It is a much more known name. Plus, the current title can be mistaken for what happened in Syria, Tunisia and Yemen in 2011. 89.122.39.11 (talk) 08:02, 2 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
