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=reason for 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.

Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.
@Nardog What is the independent clause in "English as She Is Spoke"? Wouldn't "as" in this case be a preposition indicating manner? --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:10, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Prepositions don't precede nominatives. Nardog (talk) 14:24, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Am I to take it from this that all these titles are also wrong: Come as You Are (Nirvana song), Be as You Are, Do as I Say, Do as I Say (Not as I Do) etc? I think I can see the grammatical logic of this, and it seems to conform to other similar sorts of words like the so in Just So You Know...  — Amakuru (talk) 16:03, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It does seem prevalent, unfortunately... I guess one way to settle it is to add conjunctional as to the list of words to de-capitalize in the MoS, as it can be ambiguous as to whether a token of as is a preposition or conjunction when it precedes just a noun phrase.

Contested technical requests[edit]

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
  • Akhil Reed Amar → Akhil Amar (currently a redirect back to Akhil Reed Amar) (move · discuss) – More concise title, and the subject is known more as simply "Akhil Amar" rather than by his full name. GuardianH (talk) 17:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @GuardianH: As this was subject to a previous move discussion, as well as several moves, it is not eligible as a technical request. Station1 (talk) 18:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @GuardianH This request was contested as potentially controversial and therefore requires further discussion. If you wish to pursue this move, please click the "discuss" link in your request above. --Ahecht (TALK
    PAGE    ) 14:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jitendra Singh (politician, born 1971) → Bhanwar Jitendra Singh (currently a redirect back to Jitendra Singh (politician, born 1971)) (move · discuss) – Commonly used full name, that will remove the need for the unnecessary excessive disambiguation present at the moment. MrMkG (talk) 00:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @MrMkG I don't know too much about how Indian names/titles work, but only one of the sources in the article uses Bhanwar Jitendra Singh, while most just Jitendra Singh or Shri Jitendra Singh seem more common. --Ahecht (TALK
    PAGE    ) 14:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's like a first first name, if that makes sense. Some people have it. Shri is a honorific like Mister. Only two of the sources in the article are independent news sources and Bhanwar is used by one of them. News sources commonly use Bhanwar so that he doesn't get confused with another Jitendra Singh who is an active politician. Even if it were less used which it isn't, it would still be more accessible without the disambiguation (who knows birth years?). MrMkG (talk) 22:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Assizes → Assize (currently a redirect back to Assizes) (move · discuss) – WP:SINGULAR Ost (talk) 00:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think this might benefit from a discussion, just to be on the safe size. It's almost always referred to in the plural, so could be an exception to WP:SINGULAR.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have no objection to discussion if that is the case, but the first instance I saw was Assize of Clarendon, which then brought me to the general topic. —Ost (talk) 16:47, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
MSA is the standard and common name; Modern Arabic contains various variations. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 12:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, but it is not standard. Normative means that it takes a standard for deducing rules, but this is not true. Classical Arabic is the one that takes a standard for rules. أرمز (talk) 13:16, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you want something from me, please tag me. I am on the Arabic Wikipedia + I am not fluent in English. Please search carefully to verify my words. أرمز (talk) 20:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@أرمز: 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 💬 23:21, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Where do I place the request? أرمز (talk) 04:53, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can click "discuss" above, which will start a discussion on Talk:Modern Standard Arabic '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 05:05, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The previous version went through an AfD and was closed as redirect in November 2023. Please go through AfC for a closer evaluation by AfC reviewers. – robertsky (talk) 15:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
