Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

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:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

  • If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
  • Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
  • If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.
  • Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
  • 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=edit summary for the move}}
    This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
  • To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, edit the Requests to revert undiscussed moves 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=edit summary for the move}}
    This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page. Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.
  • 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.

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
Please use WP:RSPM. 162 etc. (talk) 18:43, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ceriy can you please provide some support for the transliteration, preferably citing reliable english lanugage sources? Most links on the page are broken, but when they were added they use the current spelling variation. Happy to move if this can be supported with RS. TiggerJay (talk) 18:44, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sadly there are no English language sources for him. This shows his name spelling in Ukrainian. [1] Ukrainian official systems for romanizing table shows the Ukrainian letter й transliterated as i and я as ia. Russian is usually transliterate as y or ya so that led to many names being incorrectly Anglicized. State migration Service of Ukraine has a webpage to check name spelling [2]. The current law list and example [3] Олексій (same ending as Андрій) as Oleksii (Andrii). Last name is Недяк - Nediak (same letter я in the middle of the name Костянтин - Kostiantyn)
    Note under the table on the law page: 3. Transliteration of surnames and given names of persons and geographical names is carried out by reproducing each letter in Latin.
    Here is an example of former Ambassador and Acting Foreign minister spelling Andrii Deshchytsia (Андрій Дещиця).

    Thank you for that additional information, however I'm still not comfortable making this move (as non-controversial), and seeing as how it has been sitting around untouched for several days, you might have more success through a formal, full requested move, which you an start by clicking the discuss link next to your original request. TiggerJay (talk) 04:38, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I don’t see why an RS would be needed. WP:UKROM governs transliteration of Ukrainian: [t]he Ukrainian National system of 010 is used for general romanization of Ukrainian terms and names. If you can’t read Cyrillic, just copy and paste the characters into WP:UKRTABLE to confirm that Ceriy isn’t spouting nonsense. If we were to need an English-language RS for every Romanisation, it wouldn’t be possible to make even passing Romanised reference to anyone who hasn’t appeared in such a source. (A different problem would be if e.g. a variant Romanisation were to be very common in English sources, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here.)

Any request that generates this much discussion is clearly not uncontroversial. Please start a full discussion. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:38, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read WP:UKROM? I fail to see how manually copying and pasting characters into WP:UKRTABLE could possibly be controversial or elicit any reasonabl[e] disagree[ment], and in any case there has not been any past debate, just questions from TiggerJay. The only reason Ceriy’s comments are of any length is because of the various examples given. Docentation (talk) 21:08, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Worvandae This page has already been moved multiple times, including to the proposed page name. As such, it is not an uncontroversial move. Please click on "discuss" next to your request to start a full RM discussion on the article talk page. TiggerJay (talk) 03:54, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a brand name / branded product name. Brand names are conventionally capitalized per MOS:TM / WP:TITLETM. Prefixing with a lowercase "i-" is somewhat conventional, but all-lowercase does not seem like ordinary English formatting. At least one cited source (Quartz) uses the current title format. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:16, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Blowwhite Considering the current, proposed and also Duchnevičius variants are all used both on page and in reliable sources, it seems as though this might not be as straightforward as simply following primary sources, and should probably be discussed as part of a formal requested move discussion.

@Docentation The change breaks consistency with other titles such as Malay Singaporean and Irish Americans. – robertsky (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There’s no general rule here (see e.g. British Chinese, British Indians, Malaysian Chinese, Thai Chinese, Malaysian Indians), so I fail to see how consistency considerations apply, and in any case WP:COMMONNAME plausibly takes priority. Docentation (talk) 22:31, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Malay Singaporeans, Indian Singaporeans, Arab Singaporeans are in the same Category:Ethnic groups in Singapore. I would like that if you want to move one, move all three to avoid confusion. Hence, the consistency. – robertsky (talk) 04:50, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is no consistency internal to Category:Ethnic groups in Singapore either: thus Pakistanis in Singapore, Singaporean Tamils. I’m not sure Singaporean Indians are in the same basket; on Google Scholar, Indian Singaporean(s) has 778+624=1402 results, but Singaporean Indian(s) has 699+461=1120 results. For Singaporean Chinese, we have 11,000 results for Singaporean Chinese, and 3450+4570=8020 results for Chinese Singaporean(s). For Malay Singaporean(s), we have 567+521=1088 results, and Singaporean Malay(s) we have 918+604=1522 results. For Singaporean Arab(s) we have 19+13=32 results, and Arab Singaporean(s) 9+7=16 results. Docentation (talk) 21:05, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Looks potentially controversial, as some of the source titles use the current spelling. Left guide (talk) 21:40, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The original jim (짐) was a spelling error, it should be jjim (찜). (I removed the incorrect Hangul spelling 짐 from the article. The language distinguishes j (ㅈ) and jj (ㅉ), and the word jim means "baggage/burden" while jjim means "steamed/braised dish". The former is not a valid word in this culinary context.) I also added a hyphen, as that seems to be the standard formatting for food names with three or more syllables (e.g., Agwi-jjim, Galbi-jjim, Gyeran-jjim). 2804:14C:5BC6:8FFE:0:0:0:1002 (talk) 00:26, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

[edit]
Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
