Article title[edit]

This is the first WP article that I have seen that uses the Smithsonian trinomial of an archaeological site as the title. While I mention the Smithsonian trinomial in articles about archaeological sites when I find it in sources, I really doubt readers will be searching for information about this site using the trinomial. It seems to me that Scotts Valley site would be a better title. - Donald Albury 11:28, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Donald, Thank you for your response. I agree. When I drafted the entry it had a different title. Some one at Wiki changed. I was notified there was a discussion about this. I think the Scotts Valley, California City Hall Site would be better. I am a new editor and would appreciate advise on how to change the title. Retired archaeologist.

Changed it to "Scotts Valley Site", per the name used in the references. Crescent77 (talk) 03:37, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for making this change! 22:37, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
No problem RkOLOGUY. I didn't include the "City Hall" part, because the references didn't, and as far as I could tell, this is THE Scotts Valley site, there aren't any other notable (per WP standards) Scotts Valley sites to confuse it with here on WP.
FYI, there is no "rename" function on WP. If you wish to do so in the future, use the "Move" function on the sidebar to "move" the article to the appropriate name. Thanks for your work here! Crescent77 (talk) 23:22, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
