Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
  • This should be merged into Rano instead, as they are about the same topic. Bensci54 (talk) 14:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Moving this because it appears to not require an administrator, only a page mover. Bensci54 (talk) 17:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment, I meant moving it from admin req'd to uncontroversial. I do not know enough about the situation to know if the page itself should be moved.

    Note that Wikipedia translates Belarusian names using BGN/PCGN, so the proposed "Mikhail Zhyzneuski" is incorrect. See WP:BELARUSIANNAMES. 162 etc. (talk) 05:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So it should be Mikhail Zhyznyewski? Bensci54 (talk) 18:21, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I missed that the OP cited two English-language sources above that use "Mikhail Zhyzneuski" - although I'm not familiar with either website and can't say for certain if they are reliable. The article only cites foreign-language sources. Mikhail Zhyznyewski is the BGN/PCGN transliteration, although WP:COMMONNAME would override it. 162 etc. (talk) 01:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This is sounding like a WP:PCM. Please click on the "discuss" link to open a discussion if you want to pursue this. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dubious. I'm not entirely sure that Matthew Crosby (singer) is notable, per WP:BANDMEMBER. That article can likely be merged to The Common Linnets, and a hatnote added to Matthew Crosby. 162 etc. (talk) 15:34, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@N. Meijer: This move is potentially controversial, so it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 03:41, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The applicable guideline here is WP:JTITLE. As far as I can tell, this guideline does not point for the name to be changed to Yūki Uchida. Even if no English-language sources of a preferred name were available, the default Hepburn title for this article would be Uchida Yūki in accordance with Japanese name order. Various official profiles are in the external links and sources, but I see none with the macron. A case could be made for Yuki Uchida or Uchida Yuki, but not for Yūki Uchida.

@SB12072006: This has been moved multiple times and reverted similarly. It is a controversial request. Please click on the discuss link to open a discussion. – robertsky (talk) 17:56, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
