Need to update title of this page to correctly represent Med-Peds identity

I want to make an edit to the top of the page, but when I go to the edit option, that item is not available for editting.

At the very top it should be Med-Peds, with both the M and the P capitalized. This would also help capitalize the item in the url. Med-Peds is the shortened title of the identity of the combined internal medicine and pediatric specialty.

I am submitting this request on behalf of leaders of the Med-Peds community. 149.142.201.244 (talk) 05:44, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Please take a look at WP:COMMONNAME. Make sure that the capitalized version is the version that is most commonly used in the literature. Wikipedia is not here to allow one side or the other to try to change the name to the "correct" name, as defined by "leaders of the Med-Peds community" . We are here to reflect the most commonly used name. If both spellings are used, then put both in the first sentence. -Arch dude (talk) 06:14, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello.

I help manage the Med-Peds Academic Channel hosted on the medical journal Cureus. This journal produces the most recent academic/ research based work in the Med-Peds community. We are helping standardize the literature with the correct title of Med-Peds, vs Med-peds.

What needs to happen for the title of this page to be changed to Med-Peds??? Ssmpac (talk) 18:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia is very specifically NOT here to help you in your quest for standardization. Furthermore, in your position you MUST comply with both WP:COI and WP:PAID: please add a formal disclosure of your paid status on your user page before you do anything else, as this is required by the terms of use of this site. To get the article moved you will need to gain consensus here on the article's talk page that "Med-Peds" is the more commonly used spelling in the general literature. This article is NOT about the journal: it is about a specific medical discipline. Note that the current title, "Med-peds" is the capitalized form of the subject of this article, which is "med-peds". As a paid editor, you should not edit the article directly. Instead, make suggestions here on the talk page. -Arch dude (talk) 19:07, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for this guidance! I have added a formal disclosure to my "User page". Is there anything else I should complete to be incompliance?

I have not edited the article/ page in any way, I have only submitted this request on the Talk page. Ssmpac (talk) 19:59, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick compliance. If you do find that most published works have shifted to "Med-Peds" from "med-peds" or other constructs, then please come back here to the talk page with the results of your investigations, and start a new section here. Recommend the page move (i.e., title change) and add {{request edit}} to your new section to attract the attention of another editor to perform the move. Also, you are probably a lot more knowledgeable on the subject than most editors, so please by all means make recommendations for changes to the article, again using this talk page and the {{request edit}} syntax. Also note that your paid status with respect to this article does not in any way preclude you from acting like any of the rest of us on any article to which it does not apply, so help us out if you can and if you wish to. -Arch dude (talk) 22:23, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Google search result. All of them are written in form of "Med-Ped" QiuLiming1 (talk) 06:18, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

That's good enough for me: let's call this a consensus. Since I am not an administrator, we need to attract the attention of an admin to delete the Med-Peds redirect and move this article. -Arch dude (talk) 05:48, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

OK, I added a {{Db-move}} to Med-Peds. I think that is the correct way to cause this to happen, but I've never actually done this before. We'll see. -Arch dude (talk) 06:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
