o' vs of Requested move 2 February 2023[edit]

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: Moved. The original article renaming (to o') was resulted from a merge done by GenQuest, who has not contested the "of" title here or at Talk:Pick a Bale of Cotton#Merge. (non-admin closure) Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 14:48, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pick a Bale o' Cotton → Pick a Bale of Cotton – Andre🚐 22:07, 2 February 2023 (UTC) Thanks for moving @GenQuest, but the article title should be "Pick a Bale of Cotton" not "o' Cotton." The original Lead Belly version I believe uses of not o', and it is more common as well. Andre🚐 20:17, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Andrevan I believe the original version of the title is with the "o' ". I have no preference either way, as I didn't do a COMMONNAME check other than the given references; I was just doing the merge. Feel free to change it. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 20:55, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GenQuest, the original is with "of," please check the history and the merge discussion. I don't think there's a good way for me to do it myself as I lack the page mover right to move over a redirect. Andre🚐 21:28, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. What merge discussion? GenQuest ^"scribble" 21:50, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
