Wikipedia:Requested moves

For requested mergers, see Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. For removals, see Wikipedia:Guide to deletion.

Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.

Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.

Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

• Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. See: § Requesting technical moves.
• Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
• A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
• Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

• Making an uncontroversial move – if you can, be bold and do it yourself! If you can't, see § Requesting technical moves.
• Renaming a category – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
• Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
• Renaming an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving a file page.
• Moves from draft namespace or user space to article space – Unconfirmed users: add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself.
• Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
• Splitting an article – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed article splits, or be bold and do it yourself.
• Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
• Contesting a move request close – use the Wikipedia:Move review process.

Undiscussed moves

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

• No article exists at the new target title;
• There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
• It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Uncontroversial proposals

Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

If you object to a proposal listed here, please re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

• Metro (disambiguation) → Metro - Just like the Enfield move, it seems pretty logical to move this. There's no reason to use Metro as a redirect to only one of many topics. - Cmjc80 (talk) 22:52, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Incomplete and contested proposals

With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

• Interstate 110 and State Route 110 (California) to Harbor Freeway - Harbor and Pasadena Frwy is sort of distinctive route. Gaffey St. in San Pedro, California is eliminate like one or 2 years ago. You can still see it on some Los Angeles-Orange County map, but Caltrans have project to eliminate it. Harbor Frwy begun construction in 1952 and complete in 1964 as SR 11. US 6 I thought is old Figuerou St. Pasadena Frwy begun at 1939 and finish in 1953, and was old US 66 Aroyo Seco Pkwy if I'm right, and Pasadena Frwy is a historical landmark.--Freewayguy ^{Msg USC} 21:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Incomplete. JPG-GR (talk) 23:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

• The Dead Outside (film) → The Dead Outside —(Discuss)— Remove "(film)" to keep it concise- there's no other articles of the same name, so no need to be specific --Epicedium (talk) 20:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Incomplete. JPG-GR (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

• Author-date referencing -> Parenthetical referencing — (Discuss) — this was discussed, with a note placed on WP:CITE with no objections. Parenthetical is more descriptive, and includes author-title as well, another parenthetical form of referencing. II 04:21, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Incomplete. JPG-GR (talk) 05:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
    • I added a discuss link. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

• Slipknot (band) → Slipknot —(Discuss)— move over redirect - someone wants this move, but:
  • to most people a slipknot is a slip knot, and the band should have the suffix "(band)". See the discussion link for more information, and discuss there. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

• Boston Brahmin accent → Upper-class Yankee accent —(Discuss)— Not specfic to Boston or even New England, also characteristic of NYC=area upper class--House of Scandal (talk) 17:27, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Incomplete. JPG-GR (talk) 00:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

• Rock Supergroup → Supergroup — Move over redirect. Article was originally located at "Supergroup" but was moved (apparently) for disambiguation purposes, yet the article is all-inclusive - it covers all kinds of supergroups not just rock supergroups. (The move to "Rock Supergroup" seems additionally unnecessary, given that "Supergroup" redirects to it.) — ChrisB (talk) 06:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
  • I moved Supergroup (disambiguation) to Supergroup. There are supergroups outside music. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
    • Even still, "Rock Supergroup" is not an appropriate title - it's not an actual term (and is not the term used in the article). (The article was moved from "Supergroup" to "Rock Supergroup" a few days ago without any discussion.) If we can't reset the pages to where they were before the move, "Rock Supergroup" should be moved to "Supergroup (music)". -- ChrisB (talk) 19:41, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

• Tekken (2009) → Tekken (2009 film) — Target currently redirects to a small section about the 2009 movie on a different page about an OVA( animation), Tekken: The Motion Picture, which is already dabbed at the top of the current Tekken (2009) page. In fact, a better destination for this request might be just Tekken (film), but I am not sure if the latter idea qualifies as uncontroversial, while I’m sure the move I’m formally requesting does.) — WikidSmaht (talk) 23:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • moved from uncontroversial. Should be Tekken (film) IMO. jnestorius^(talk) 07:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
  • I changed Tekken (video game)'s hatlink to a pointer to Tekken, which I made into a disambig of 8 choices. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:49, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Other proposals

6 July 2008

• Stop Murder Music → Murder music —(Discuss)— moving back to Murder music as that's the genre of music while "Stop Murder Music" is one aspect of the music's history. --Banjeboi 23:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

• Stephen Levine (psychiatrist) → Stephen B. Levine —(Discuss)— Using his middle initial better disambiguates him from another author/healer with the same name --Jokestress (talk) 15:36, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

5 July 2008

• No_symbol → Prohibition_sign —(Discuss)— ISO 3864-1:2002 is the controlling standard, and it describes this shape as a "Prohibition sign", not a symbol --Peter K. Sheerin, K6WEB (talk) 20:01, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

• Mexican-American War → Mexican–American War — WP:DASH — jnestorius^(talk) 15:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • I.e. replace hyphen by en-dash. But in Talk:Mexican–American War's edit history User:Allen3 claimed that the hyphen is right according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Special characters. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 18:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
    • but Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Special characters says "For the use of hyphens and dashes in page names, see Manual of Style (dashes)." jnestorius^(talk) 18:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
    • moved to "Other proposals" section *sigh* jnestorius^(talk) 11:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

• PlayTV (Sony) → PlayTV —(Discuss)— Page was moved from here by a user in favour of a disambiguation page with only one other link on, which linked to a non-existant page. The subject of the potential page is also much less known than the Sony Playstation3 Add-On. This should really have been implemented using an other uses template instead. --10:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)Chappy^T_C

• WWE Diva's Championship → WWE Divas Championship —(Discuss)— Official spelling per WWE's website. [1] -- Oakster  Talk  07:32, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

4 July 2008

• Y Ddraig Goch → Welsh Dragon —(Discuss)— This is a page in the English language section of the encyclopedia. There is a welsh language part of this site which should have Y Ddraig Goch as the title. It is not a name of, say, a brand, which should only be said in Welsh. An example being, if the company "French Connection" were to be in the Welsh language wiki it should, surely, still have "French Connection" as the title. I would site the Eiffel Tower which, in the English language page, is the Eiffel Tower and not La Tour Eiffel. --Hypnoticmonkey (talk) 19:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

• Parni Valjak → Parni valjak —(Discuss)— The article's title capitalization is incorrect. --GregorB (talk) 14:23, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

• List of victims of the Babi Yar massacre → List of Ukrainian nationalists executed at Babi Yar —(Discuss)— Current name does not reflect the contents of the article. --Jd2718 (talk) 13:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC) Jd2718 (talk) 13:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

• Template:Politics of the Republic of China → Template:Politics of the Republic of China (Taiwan) —(Discuss)— To (1) include the ROC's more well-known moniker; (2) disambiguate from the pre-1949 Republic of China. --Sardanaphalus (talk) 09:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

• Jerry Unser → Jerry Unser, Jr. —(Discuss)— According to the official Unser Racing Museum website, this subject is known as Jerry, Jr., hence the current title refer to his father should be kept as tha unless there is any move suggestion you can think of --Jay Pegg (talk) 08:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
• Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston → Lord Palmerston —(Discuss)— this is the most common form of the name in English. My Britannica lists the article under "Palmerston, Lord" with the full name written afterwards. In this article itself "Lord Palmerston" appears more than 100 times --124.168.213.72 (talk) 07:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

• Hendrix chord → dominant 7 sharp 9 chord —(Discuss)— Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. "Sharp" rather than # per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions). --Hyacinth (talk) 02:23, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

3 July 2008

• M&Ms - Shell Shocked → M&M's: Shell Shocked —(Discuss)— Standardizing article title. Placing the move request here for now as the article is currently under AFD notice. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 20:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• Jaguar D-type → Jaguar D-Type —(Discuss)— "Type" is a proper noun as part of the model name, and should be capitalized. --Chaparral2J (talk) 18:55, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• Jaguar E-type → Jaguar E-Type —(Discuss)— "Type" is a proper noun as part of the model name, and should be capitalized. --Chaparral2J (talk) 18:55, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• Sacsayhuamán → Sacsayhuaman —(Discuss)— per Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Use English words, anglicized names should be used to name articles; Sacsayhuaman, without diacritics, is the most common English form --Victor12 (talk) 16:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• List of private railway stations outside Great Britain → List of private railway stations —(Discuss)— Geographic bias, plus recent edit as included the GB list as a {{main}} --Arsenikk ^(talk) 14:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• Rossz Csillag Alatt Született → Rossz csillag alatt született —(Discuss)— Correct capitalization for this article should be Rossz csillag alatt született according to WP:CAPS. That page is currently a redirect with a page history, so the assistance of an administrator is required. --KovacsUr (talk) 13:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• BR5-49 → BR549 —(Discuss)— They dropped the hyphen on their third album; see here for verification. --Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 12:26, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• Chūō Rapid Line → Chūō Line (Rapid) —(Discuss)— Use naming style used by JR East and as also used for Sōbu Line (Rapid) article --DAJF (talk) 08:43, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

2 July 2008

• Genie → ? —(Discuss)— The article states that the term jinn or djinn is more common when referring to the original entity, and already prefers those spellings. —Paul_012 ^(talk) 22:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Y'UV → YUV —(Discuss)— YUV is the more popular usage by a wide margin, even though is Y'UV might be the mathematically correct usage according to some editor. --Voidvector (talk) 21:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Right-wing Authoritarianism → Right-wing authoritarianism Discuss - Uncapitalizing the first letter of "authoritarianism" would revert this page to its previous version, would be consistent with wikipedia naming conventions, and would look better, at least in my opinion. --Jcbutler (talk) 20:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Aorangi Terrace → Henman Hill —(Discuss)— The name of an article should be the most commonly used name. Aorangi Terrace may be the official title, but the name most commonly used is Henman Hill. Even with Andy Murray replacing Tim Henman as the British No.1, the area is still called Henman Hill in most broadcasts. Most people wouldn't know what Aorangi Terrace was, whereas almost everyone knows Henman Hill, even if they use a different name. --Philip Stevens (talk) 20:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Srbica → Skënderaj —(Discuss)— Usage and new circumstances due to new status of Kosovo. See population setup. --Maestral (talk) 10:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Invasion of Goa → Invasion of Goa (1961) —(Discuss)— Goa was invaded twice ,in 1510 and in 1961 --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 09:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
  • I put a hatlink in Invasion of Goa to disambiguate here. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Blue Team → Blue Team (US politics) —(Discuss)— This is not the most prominent usage of "Blue Team", that would be military. This should be renamed. This allows for a dab page --70.51.9.118 (talk) 06:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Dominion of India → Union of India —(Discuss)— I request that the article "Dominion of India" and its associated talk page be moved to "Union of India" and "Talk:Union of India" respectively on the grounds that a Google search reveals "Union of India" -wikipedia more popular than "Dominion of India" -wikipedia, furthermore, the term "Union of India" was the official nomenclature for the entity. --Shibo77 (talk) 02:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

  The The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia uses spaces between the name and the object. I think a space will avoid potential confusion in instances where a prominent star's historical name or bayer/flamsteed designation is used. For example: "Vegab" or "Vega b", "61 Cygb" or "61 Cyg b", assuming such were discovered.—RJH (talk) 17:01, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

• Inspector Lewis → Robbie Lewis —(Discuss)— The show is better known as Inspector Lewis, while the character is better known as Sergeant Lewis. Move it to a title without a rank, with his common name "Robbie". --70.51.9.131 (talk) 07:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

• Baccalaureat → French Baccalaureat —(Discuss)— The word Baccalaureat has a wider meaning than just the French Baccalaureat; it literally means Bachelor's Degree. In most English Speaking countries, Baccalaureat usually more often refers to the entirely separate International Baccalaureat program, and having the page Baccalaureat refer solely to the French Baccalaureat is confusing. I think this page should either be disambiguation page or a history and explanation of the various uses of the word Baccalaureat, rather than solely an in-depth article on the main French usage. --DomUK (talk) 23:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

• Fête nationale du Québec (Saint Jean Baptiste Day) → Saint Jean Baptiste Day —(Discuss)— As per wiki naming conventions "article naming should prefer what the greatest number of English speakers would most easily recognize"; the French and Quebec name for the holiday may be recognizable to English-speakers in Quebec, but probably not elsewhere in Canada or in the U.S.; I think the sources listed in the discussion page show this. --soulscanner (talk) 05:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

For the record, as the requester, I would like to state this is categorically incorrect. I know neither of an RfC nor of any particular controversy surrounding the issue. It's merely a clerical WP:UE matter to me. Biruitorul ^Talk 03:59, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

• Ninja Gaiden (series) → Ninja Gaiden —(Discuss)— Upon concensus by discussion listed, to eliminate what has been determined to be an unnecessary disambiguation page (which is the article the old page wishes to move to), and then also to eliminate potential ambiguities between the series and the various video games who all bear the exact same name. (All corresponding video game articles are already differentiated from the series article.) --MuZemike (talk) 16:26, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

• Historical Vedic religion → Vedic Hinduism —(Talk:Hinduism) per sources quoted on Hinduism - types of Hindusim include Historic Vedic Religion as a major type of Hinduism. Current name is misleading. Wikidās ॐ 13:21, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

• Bessarabia in the Russian Empire → Bessarabia Governorate—(Discuss) - All exising articles for the Governorates of the Russian Empire have titles indicating the name of the Gorverorate, regardless of the changes which occured after 1917. There is no reason to have a separate rule for the Bessarabia Governorate.Afil (talk) 01:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

• Bandwidth (computing) → Bandwidth (digital) —(Discuss)— The current name for this article is not broad enough. Digital bandwidth is also widely used in telecommunications, since much of it is now digital. The misnamed article is confusing the editors who are busy disambiguating links to Bandwidth. I've seen several links to Bandwidth (signal processing) that should have pointed to the other article. --Srleffler (talk) 00:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Javelin → Javelin (disambiguation)

• Zhuyin → Bopomofo —(Discuss)— Bopomofo is the more common English name for this phonetic alphabet. It is also the name used by international organizations such as ISO. In addition, it is odd to romanize the name using a competing phonetic system. --Voidvector (talk) 08:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

• Input method editor → Input method —(Discuss)— Input method editor is a name that is fairly specific to the Windows platform. Most other operating systems call it "Input method" or other names. So I propose this article to be moved to a more platform-neutral name location. --Voidvector (talk) 06:35, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

• Civil War (comic book) → Civil War (comics) (Discuss) Because "Civil War" refers not only to the title of the comic book, but also the events it contains (i.e. in-continuity, characters refer to the events of Civil War as the "Super-Hero Civil War" or simply the "Civil War"), the page should be moved "Civil War (comics)".--Darknus823 (talk) 05:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

• (Discuss) -- These seasons of The Mole (US TV series) each had their own specific titles. The celebrity editions especially were almost never referred to as seasons three and four of the show. The edit summary moving Mole 2: The Next Betrayal to The Mole (U.S. Season 2) refers to a previous RM, but I can't find any discussion anywhere. In any case, the titles such as they are suggest a disambiguation with the name "The Mole" is necessary. That's true of seasons one and five, which are both known only as "The Mole," but the others all had distinct titles. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 10:20, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

• Camden Palace → KOKO (venue) —(Discuss)— This venue is definitely not called Camden Palace any more, and has not been for the majority of its life. Therefore, the name used should be its current one, KOKO. --Dancarney (talk) 14:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

• Voßstraße → Voss Strasse —(Discuss)— In case already an established english spelling variant exists, I think we should use this one. (That's not only my own opinion but also seems to be consens on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Use English.) I've now checked the online accessible references in this article: Its mostly spelled "Voss Strasse". (Perhaps someone should check the newspapers and books cited, too.) Thus, I now suggest to move the article to "Voss Strasse". Suggestion made by by [[User:Cyfal|Cyfal]; posted by Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:54, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
  • This article about a street in Berlin causes constant headaches over its spelling, and it apparently even had been created (as Voss-strasse) to make a point about English spelling. As German Wikipedia does not bother to cover this street with a separate article (which would be at de:Voßstraße), even though it is mentioned in several articles [8], we simply should merge, redirect, and bury this hatchet for good. -- Matthead  Discuß   10:15, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
  • I'd just like to point out that from a translator's POV it is standard practice to transliterate German ß as ss in English translations, even if the source text is not Swiss, so to me, moving it makes sense. Akerbeltz (talk) 10:19, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge with what? Page Voßstraße seems to me to be plenty big enough to stand on its own. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

• Jūminhyō → Residency registration system —(Discuss)— Juminhyo is not listed in English print dictionaries, and is not a proper noun. The article name is currently a transliteration of a word meaning Certificate of Residency Registration, which is documentation of the individuals data as entered in the Residency Registration system. --Mak Allen (talk) 11:12, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

• Old East Slavic → Old Russian —(Discuss)—Encyclopedia Britannica: Old Russian (language) - "Russian and the other East Slavic languages (Ukrainian, Belarusian) did not diverge noticeably from one another until the Middle Russian period (the late 13th to the 16th century). The term Old Russian is generally applied to the common East Slavic language in use before that time.". 308 results for "Old Russian language" in google books, 6 results for "Old East Slavic language" in google books. *87 results for "Old Russian language" in google scholar, 2 results for "Old East Slavic language" in google scholar. 963,000 google results for "Old Russian", 11,500 results for "Old East Slavic". Clearly, "Old Russian" is by far the more commonly used term --Berkunt (talk) 14:58, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

• Spells of Dungeons & Dragons → Magic (Dungeons & Dragons) —(Discuss)— Article scope is broader than spells specifically, covering other aspects of the D&D magic system, and "spell" has a much narrower mearing in 4th edition than in earlier editions. - Gordon Ecker (talk) 02:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

• Chinese wén → Chinese cash (currency) —(Discuss)— Per WP:UE (use English for article titles), WP:UCN (use the most common name for article titles), WP:OR (no original research), and Numismatics Style guidelines (use the term for the currency that is most commonly used by standard English language sources.). The use of the romanization of the Chinese in this case appears to be largely a creation of Wikipedia. --— AjaxSmack 03:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

• Liga Mexicana de Beisbol → Mexican League - (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball#Liga Mexicana de Beisbol)- The name in English is Mexican League, and the name on the official website at minor league baseball is Mexican League. There is another baseball league called the Mexican Pacific League. But I believe this is uncontroversial because the current page Mexican League is really only a disambig, this can be fixed with a 'see also' link on the page after the move is completed. I put this in requested because there is edit history in the Mexican League page. Thanks. ----Borgarde^talk 11:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

• Macedonian parliamentary election, 2008 → Republic of Macedonia parliamentary election, 2008 —(Discuss)— Un-ambiguous, un-controversial, consistent and non-offensive title. --NikoSilver 21:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

And let's not forget all the other election articles: Macedonian parliamentary election, 1998, Macedonian parliamentary election, 2002, Macedonian parliamentary election, 2006, Macedonian presidential election, 2004 and Macedonian autonomy referendum, 2004, which already fall under the more appropriately-named Category:Elections in the Republic of Macedonia. ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· (talk) 23:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

That is due to the naming convention of articles - election articles are titled by demonym, whereas election categories are done by name (e.g. Israeli legislative election, 2006 goes in Category:Elections in Israel). пﮟოьεԻ 57 14:05, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Not sure - seems to be a lot of politics in this one. This one should go to a wider discussion as there are two very polarised sides and both of them make fair points. Orderinchaos 11:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
