This page has anadministrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. This notice will be automatically removed byRMCD bot (talk) when the backlog is cleared.
Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For information on retitling files, categories, and other items, see§ When not to use this page.
Anyautoconfirmed user can move a page using the"Move" option in theediting toolbar; seehow to move a page for more information. 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 beprotected from moves. In such cases, see§ Requesting technical moves.
Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made atWP: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 pageshould not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
Unregistered and new (not yetautoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. 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, or closed as "no consensus". SeeWikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.
Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move requestas 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 thespirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.
Moves from draft namespace or user space to article space –Unconfirmed users: add{{subst:submit}} to the top of the article. SeeWikipedia:Articles for creation.Confirmed users: Move the page yourself.
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 beenin place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you mayrequest a technical move.
If you areunable 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 isyour first article and you want your draft article moved to themainspace, please submit it for review atArticles for creation, by adding the code{{subst:submit}} to the top of thedraft oruser sandbox page instead of listing it here.
Because you areautoconfirmed,you canmove most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
If you needhelp determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top ofWikipedia:Requested moves.
To list a technical request:edit theUncontroversial 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.
If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to theContested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Considerpinging 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.
The current title is Horace François Bastien Sébastiani de La Porta, which is way too long and completely unnecessary, as there is no possible confusion with any other Sébastiani, reason for which I tried to restore the simpler version of his name, Horace Sébastiani, by which he is know in the historiography (e.g.this search on Google Books.).

Oppose. I presume pageviews forSomething Beautiful (Miley Cyrus album) will spike once it actually drops, but as of today, it (along with the other articles at the dabpage) receives no significant traffic. Please revert the undiscussed move of the Robbie Williams song, which is a justified primary topic.162 etc. (talk)19:42, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thehttps://www.hawaii.edu/ website just says "University of Hawaiʻi". So does the seal of the institution. A few places seem to include "System", but it is deemphasized – e.g. in smaller font. The "About" page is titled "About the University of Hawaiʻi". I suspect the common name does not include "System". It seems somewhat similar to the situation forUniversity of California (which is also a system rather than a single university). — BarrelProof (talk)00:55, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Commercial success isn't a metric used for determining the primary topic for a term, so the Lana Del Rey song being certified platinum anywhere is fully irrelevant.The Neil Young song is likely the primary topic for the term "Cinnamon Girl" perWP:PT1 as it is receives more page views than all other songs combined:pageview stats, and likelyWP:PT2 for long-term significance.RachelTensions (talk)02:49, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of whether the subject is Indian or not,MOS:INITS says to include the punctuation marks. Unless there is overwhelming evidence that independent reliable sources do not include dots for this subject, I would support this move per the Wikipedia Manual of Style. On the other hand, I am having trouble finding reliable sources that include the dots. — BarrelProof (talk)18:37, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thediscussion process is used for potentially controversial moves.A move is potentially controversial if either of the following applies:
there has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested. For technical move requests, such as to correct obvious typographical errors, seeRequesting technical moves. The technical moves procedure can also be used for uncontroversial moves when the requested title is occupied by an existing article.
Do not create a new move request when one is alreadyopen on the same talk page. Instead, consider contributing to the open discussion if you would like to propose another alternative. Multipleclosed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a uniquesection heading.
Do not create a move request to rename one or moreredirects.Redirects cannot be used as current titles in requested moves.
To request a single page move, click on the "New section" (or "Add topic") tab of thetalk page of the article you want moved,without adding a new subject/header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move|New name|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}}
ReplaceNew name with the requested new name of the page (or with a simple question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move 25 March 2025" and sign the post for you.
There is no need to edit the article in question. Once the above code is added to the Talk page, a bot will automatically add the following notification at the top of the affected page:
A request that this page title be changed isunder discussion. Pleasedo not move this page until the discussion is closed.
A single template may be used to request multiple related moves. Onone of the talk pages of the affected pages, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here (for two page moves, omit the lines for current3 and new3). For four page moves, add lines for current4 and new4, and so on. There is no technical limit on the number of multiple move requests, but before requesting very large multi-moves, consider whether anaming convention should be changed first. Discuss that change on the talk page for the naming convention, e.g.,Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople).
To request a multiple page move, edit at thebottom of the talk page of the article you chose for your request,without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move| current1= Current title of page 1 (this parameter can be omitted for discussions hosted on a page that is proposed to be moved)| new1= New title for page 1 with the talk page hosting this discussion| current2= Current title of page 2| new2= New title for page 2| current3= Current title of page 3| new3= New title for page 3| reason= Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}}
For example, to propose moving the articlesWikipedia andWiki, put this template onTalk:Wikipedia withcurrent1 set toWikipedia andcurrent2 set toWiki. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article where the template is placed (Talk:Wikipedia). Do not sign the request with~~~~, since the template does this automatically (so if you sign it yourself there will be two copies of your signature at the end of the request). Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of all pages that are included in your request except the one hosting the discussion, to call attention to the move discussion that is in progress and to suggest that all discussion for all of the pages included in the request should take place at that one hosting location.
For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is itself proposed to be moved, it is not necessary to include the|current1=Current title of page 1 for the page hosting the discussion, as its current title can be inferred automatically. Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted onWikiProject talk pages or other pages inProject namespace, in which case it is necessary to include|current1= to indicate the first article to be moved.
Please list every move that you wish to have made in your request. For example, if you wish to moveCricket (disambiguation) toCricket because you do not believe the sport is theprimary topic for the search term "Cricket", then you actually want to move two pages, bothCricket (disambiguation)andCricket. Thus you must list proposed titles foreach page affected by your request. For example, you might propose:
If a new title is not proposed for the sport, it is more difficult to achieve consensus for a new title for that article. A move request that does not show what to do with the material at its proposed target, such as:

All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. There are a number of standards that Wikipedians should practice in such discussions:
When editors recommend a course of action, they writeSupport orOppose in bold text, which is done by surrounding the word with three single quotes on each side, e.g.'''Support'''.
Comments or recommendations are added on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *) and signed by adding~~~~ to the end. Responses to another editor arethreaded and indented using multiple bullets.
The article itself should be reviewed before any recommendation is made; do not base recommendations solely on the information supplied by other editors. It may also help to look at the article's edit history. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior move requests. They may contain relevant arguments and useful information.
The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations that are not sustained by arguments.
Explainhow the proposed article title meets or contravenes policy and guidelines rather than merely stating that it does so.
Nomination already implies that the nominator supports the name change, and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line.[a]
Do not make conflicting recommendations. If you change your mind, use strike-through to retract your previous statement by enclosing it between <s> and </s> after the bullets, and de-bold the struck words, as in "•SupportOppose".
Please remember that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but that arguments based in policy, guidelines, and evidence have more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers an argument that does not explain how the move request is consistent with policies and guidelines, a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion may be useful. On the other hand, a pattern of responding to requests with groundless opinion,proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider using adispute resolution process.
Relisting a discussion moves the request out of the backlog up to the current day in order to encourage further input. The decision to relist a discussion is best left to uninvolved experienced editors upon considering, but declining, to close the discussion. In general, discussions should not be relisted more than once beforeproperly closing.[b] Users relisting a debate which has already been relisted, or relisting a debate with a substantial discussion, should write a short explanation on why they did not consider the debate sufficient to close. While there is no consensus forbidding participation in a requested move discussion after relisting it, many editors consider it an inadvisable form ofsupervote. If you want to relist a discussion and then participate in it, be prepared to explain why you think it was appropriate.
Relisting should be done using{{subst:RM relist}}, which automatically includes the relister's signature,and which must be placed at the very end of the initial request after the move requester's signature (and subsequent relisters' signatures).
When a relisted discussion reaches a resolution, it may be closed at any time according to theclosing instructions; there is no required length of time to wait before closing a relisted discussion.
If discussion has become stale, or it seems that discussion would benefit from more input of editors versed in the subject area, consider more widelypublicizing the discussion, such as by notifyingWikiProjects of the discussion using the template{{RM notification}}. Banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request can often be used to identify WikiProjects suitable for notification.
Notes
^A nominator making a procedural nomination with which they may not agree is free to add a bulleted line explaining their actual position. Additional detail, such as sources, may also be provided in an additional bullet point if its inclusion in the nomination statement would make the statement unwieldy. Please remember that the entire nomination statement appears on the list on this page.
^Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.
This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
Do not attempt to edit this list manually;a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically soon after the discussion is closed. To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page.
(Discuss) –2024–2025 Canadian political crisis →2024–2025 Canadian government transition – The events leading to the change of Prime Minister from Trudeau to Carney do not qualify as a political crisis, as set out in the Wikipedia articleCabinet crisis (which is where "Political crisis" redirects). The definition there is: "A cabinet crisis, government crisis or political crisis refers to a situation where an incumbent government is unable to form or function, is toppled through an uprising, or collapses." None of those factors applied here. Although Trudeau was steadily losing political support within his own party and ultimately resigned, his government remained functioning, including through the significant political response to Trump's tariff threats. This was a transition due to loss of party support, and resulted in a smooth transition of power under the Liberal party rules and the conventions of responsible government. It was not a crisis. (Yes, Wikipedia is not itself a reliable source, but I think we should be internally consistent when using a phrase such as "political crisis" which is the subject of an article directly on point.)Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk)20:56, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) –Kuna language →Guna language – Since the orthographic changes made by the Guna General Congress in 2010 and the official renaming ofGuna Yala in 2011, literature about the Guna language has reached a consensus regarding the usage of the updated spelling. The issue has been raised a couple of times before (see thearticle talk page andthis edit from 2019), so I'm requesting that this article be moved in accordance withWP:PCM. To illustrate the grounds for renaming, I've collated a short bibliography of just a few of the recent English-language sources that refer to the language using the updated spelling.

Instead,Laponia most commonly refers to theLaponian area, and the name that is used for these provinces isLapland (or SwedishLappland). Both of these articles are completely unsourced, and hence the article names are also unsourced. Here are some references which referring to the region in historical context:[10][11]. The Institute for the Languages of Finland also recommends the nameLapland for the historical province in English (SeeToponymic guidelines: Finland, p.27) Another Latin name for Lapland isLapponia, but even it is not commonly used in English, but only as part of the Latin names for biogeographical provinces[12].84.251.164.143 (talk)17:48, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –He Zhen (anarchist) →He-Yin Zhen – I noticed that this article's title has (anarchist) appended to it in order to disambiguate it from other He Zhens, but it left me wondering if maybe the full name He-Yin Zhen would be more appropriate for the title. For one, "He-Yin Zhen" is the name that she wrote and published under, as noted in this article. I've also noticed that "He-Yin Zhen" receives more hits on Google Scholar search (with 365 results),[13] compared with "He Zhen" disambiguated with "anarchist" (with 259 results).[14] As this is a potentially controversial move, I'm opening a discussion over whether to move this to "He-Yin Zhen" or to keep it as the current disambiguation of "He Zhen (anarchist)".Grnrchst (talk)11:49, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) –Ergoamides →Lysergamides – This page was recently moved from "Substituted lysergamide" to "Ergoamides" byUser:Wk472 following brief discussionhere andhere. Removal of the "substituted" part and change to plural ('s') seems to be appropriate perWP:MOSCHEM cited byUser:Graeme Bartlett. However, there was no agreement or consensus about the "ergoamide" part. Per policies likeWP:CHEMNAME,WP:COMMONNAME, andWP:MEDTITLE, article titles should be the most commonly used and recognizable name. "Lysergamide" has broad mainstream use, whereas "ergoamide" is a relatively rare term. In Google Search, "lysergamide(s)" has 244,000 hits, while "ergoamide(s)" has 1,070 results. In Google Scholar, it's 1,590 results versus 73 results, respectively. Moreover, the article is specifically supposed to be about lysergic acid amides. Hence, the article should be renamed back to "Lysergamides" (without the "substituted" part and with plural 's' retained).

(Discuss) –Saifuddin Azizi →Seypidin Azizi – The subject of this article is an ethnicUyghur; Saifuddin is not the Uyghur-language variant of his nameSayf al-Din (Saifuddin is a variant commonly found in South Asia and Southeast Asia). Between Saifuddin Azizi, Seypidin Azizi, and Seypidin Ezizi, there is no clearcommon spelling, at least from my search through Google (general), Google Books and Google Scholar. Google Ngrams only foundmentions of Seypidin Azizi. * Seypidin Ezizi is the spelling in the Uyghur language (Latin script). * Seypidin Azizi is the spelling used by the Chinese government in its English-language publications. * Saifuddin Azizi is found in 5 unreliable online sources before this article's creation (search); the other two names return 0 results. ** Performing the same search on Google Books or Google Scholar return sparse results for Seypidin Azizi and Saifuddin Azizi, and no results for Seypidin Ezizi. I argue that Seypidin Azizi is the best choice for this article's name because: # There is no obvious common name. # Seypidin is the Uyghur variant ofSayf al-Din and is frequently used to describe the subject (although it is not the most commonly used by a clear margin). # While Ezizi is the proper Uyghur spelling of Azizi, it is not commonly used in English-language publications. # Seypidin Azizi is theofficial name used by the Chinese government in its English-language publications. It is also used by English-language sources critical of the Chinese government such asRadio Free Asia and theEast Turkestan Government-in-Exile, so there is no obvious issue of preferential treatment to opposing sources.Yue🌙23:22, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Common minnow →Phoxinus phoxinus – The common minnow is the name of what is now refareded as a species complex and Phoxinus phoxinus is now called the Channel minnow (Channel referring to the English Channel, so a proper noun) by the IUCN and FishBase.Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes gives the range of Phoxinus phoxinus as " Western Europe: Rhine, Meuse and Seine River drainages, coastal catchments of Normandy and English Channel and Thames River drainage. Introduced in Italy, Corsica and Ireland", not Eurasia from Ibera to Siberia. The IUCN says "The Channel Minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus), formerly the Common or Eurasian Minnow, was for a considerable period of time treated as the only European member of the genus Phoxinus. However, at least 23 distinct mitochondrial lineages and 14 valid species have been identified in the region since the mid-2000s. This diversity is likely to increase further, as comprehensive information for all major European river systems has not yet been compiled." As Channel minnow is a new vernacular name thenPhoxinus phoxinus should be the "commonest name" for this taxon.

The shootdown also did not occur anywhere near Banja Luka, which was nowhere near the path between the airfield and target, with one J-21 crashing more than 100 km south west of Banja Luka. In such circumstances,WP:NDESC says to use a non-judgemental descriptive title reflecting NPOV. The explicit naming convention for incidents such as this is shown atWP:DESCRIPTOR where it gives the example of2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown. To generate the proposed descriptive title I have followed this convention. As the aircraft of the Krajina Serbs and Bosnian Serbs were intermixed at Udbina, and pilots from both forces were involved in the mission, "Serb" is the best descriptor for the owner of the aircraft, followed by the type and the "what" is shootdown. According to a comprehensive study of manned aircraft downings in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s wars by Haulman (referenced in the article), there were no other shootdowns of Serb-operated J-21 Jastrebs in 1994, but J-21s were lost in other years, so we need the year as a disambiguator.Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:50, 15 March 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.Sophisticatedevening(talk)18:24, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Lega (political party) →League (political party) – I propose moving these two pages perWikipedia:Naming conventions (political parties),Wikipedia:COMMONNAME andWikipedia:ENGLISH. I have never understood why the titles of these two pages remained written in Italian, even though their English names are clearly more widespread in all types of sources. In the past, the move ofLega Nord toNorthern League (Italy) was rejected also forWikipedia:Article titles#Disambiguation, as well as for some unproven claims; however, this reasoning is no longer valid since theLeague exists, which in any case requires a disambiguation. The English name "Northern League" is widely used by important newspapers like The Guardian ([18]), Daily Mail ([19]), Financial Times ([20]), Newsweek ([21]), The Wall Street Journal ([22]), New York Times ([23]), The Telegraph ([24]) and The Economist ([25]), political websites like The Huffington Post ([26]) and The Daily Beast ([27]), media like BBC ([28]), News agencies like Reuters ([29]) and ANSA ([30]), books and academic literature ([31],[32],[33],[34],[35],[36],[37],[38],[39],[40], etc.) and important encyclopedias like Britannica ([41]); same reasoning for "League", which is used by important newspapers like The Guardian ([42]), The Atlantic ([43]), Daily Mail ([44]), The Washington Post ([45]), Time ([46]), The Telegraph ([47]), The Moscow Times ([48]), La Stampa ([49]), international media like CNN ([50]), Bloomberg ([51]), Euronews ([52]), DW ([53]), France 24 ([54]), CBS News ([55]) and Al Jazeera ([56]), News agencies like Reuters ([57]) and ANSA ([58]), Think tanks like the Centre for European Reform ([59]) or the CISE ([60]), books and academic literature ([61],[62],[63],[64],[65],[66],[67],[68],[69] etc.). It seems evident to me that the translated name of both parties is the most common name in English-language sources of any kind, for this reason the English name seems to me the most natural title for these pages.Scia Della Cometa (talk)15:17, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? →My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? – Most Christians nowadays, and certainly most secular scholars, are no longer attached to the archaic form of English to which the Bible was first translated, so there is no reason to keep the article title like this. From the influential modern translations, which in my opinion should be favored as the most common context in which this phrase is encountered: NRSVue, NIV, ESV, (Matthew and Mark): "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" NKJV (Matthew and Mark): "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" CSB (Matthew and Mark): "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" Googling either form of the Aramaic phrase will result in a litany of ministry websites discussing it, some of which do usehast andthou, presumably because of their fondness of the KJV. I don't think this is a sufficient to title the article as such, because a) many, and by my count a majority of such websites use the modern English. Google searching in quotes for the modern and older form yields 337,000 and 271,000 results, respectively. And b) more academic (and recent) sources prefer the modern English. *[70]Ngrams (not entirely academic, but more so than Google search results, shows the modern English pulling ahead since the 2000s. *[71]Oxford Companion to the Bible: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me" *[72]2021 paper in the American Journal of Biblical Theology: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" *[73]Dallas Baptist University: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" .mossypiglet (talk)Go blue! 05:13, 7 March 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.FOARP (talk) 10:04, 14 March 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.TarnishedPathtalk09:49, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) –Gran Metalik →Metalik – Per reasons given atTalk:Máscara Dorada 2.0. He hasn't used the ring name Máscara Dorada for almost ten years, while the new one is way more famous during that name. Also this wrestler dropped the "Gran"-part when he left WWE 4 years ago and has gone by Metalik ever since. Therefore, I think Máscara Dorada 2.0 should have priority to the Máscara Dorada name, with a link at the top to Metalik. And this article should use his current ring name, not his old one from WWE 4 years ago.Estrellato (talk) 03:36, 15 March 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.TarnishedPathtalk09:23, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Dell EMC →EMC Corporation –Dell EMC was just the name of a brand of products marketed by Dell after the merger; the actual merged company isDell Technologies. I don't know why this article states otherwise, and besides that Dell has dropped the "EMC" name from their server and storage hardware for quite a while now (source). Since this article is about EMC the company, and since most sources discuss EMC when they were independent, the article title should reflect this.

(Discuss) –Galactic Center →Galactic center – The previous thinly participated discussion didn't come to a consensus on this, so let's try again. Sources appear to be majority lowercase by a good margin (seen-grams), and looking through them I don't find "galactic center" referring to centers of galaxies other than our Milky Way. It's clearly a term describing exactly what the words mean, not a proper name, even if it's understood to be the center of our particular galaxy. Also, the previous closer seems to be expressing a supervote, saying "Not Moved per MOS:CELESTIALBODIES", citing a guideline that doesn't clearly apply, instead of noting the arguments made in the RM discussion.Dicklyon (talk)02:16, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Republic of Cuba (1902–1959) →Republican period (Cuba) – This current title infers a singular government (the "Republic of Cuba") existed between 1902 and 1959, which did not exist. As per the info on this page, there were various regime changes, and not one singular "Republic of Cuba". Also, the moniker of "Republic of Cuba" is the name all governments have carried since independence. What this page does cover is not a singular government, but the history of Cuba from 1902 to 1958, which is commonly referred to as the "Republican period". Considering what this page represents is a historical period, and not necessarily a government, the title should reflect that. Wikipedia does not commonly title historical periods by government (especially historical periods with various government changes), for instance, the page for theShōwa era in Japan is not called "Japan (1926-1989)", or "Empire of Japan (1926-1989)". The page is called theShōwa era because that name encompasses a time frame with many government changes in Japan. Historians also typically refer to this period as simply the "Showa era", and not "Japanese history from 1926 to 1989" as if there was no shorthand term. For these reasons, if Wikipedia called that page "Japan (1926-1989)", it would be a lacking descriptor. I hope this analogy is relevant, and if it is understood, it should be clear why this page about Cuba should be given a more accurate name; that being the "republican period (Cuba)"Mangokeylime (talk)21:14, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Tornado outbreak of May 26–31, 2013 →Tornado outbreak of May 27–31, 2013 – Okay, I am going to try and settle this once and for all seeing how much back and forth there is going on lately, specifically onTalk:Tornado outbreak of March 13–16, 2025. A major issue that has come up is the issue of date ranges in tornado outbreaks, and whether we should be labeling them on our accord or following what the NCEI has defined the outbreak as. This came to me after@Wxtrackercody: on the aforementioned talk page mentioned that: "Debate about the meteorology aside, we need to also keep in mind the time element. There's no official definition of a tornado outbreak, which makes titling these articles very subjective. Most modern definitions of a tornado outbreak require at least 6 tornadoes with a gap no longer than 6-9 hours between them. If we apply that definition, the CA tornado should not be included. Generally speaking, I'd be inclined to lean toward a stricter definition of what we define as a tornado outbreak on Wikipedia. It would help cut down on the continuous tornado outbreak sequence titles we have to deal with in May/June (for instance, last year we have an outbreak sequence of May 19-27, whereas NCEI defines two different outbreaks on May 18-22 and May 25-26)." Specifically, some of the outbreak pages include dates that are included almost onWP:SYNTH grounds, based on the flimsy aspect of one tornado occurring on that date well separated from the rest of the outbreak (seen with the most recent outbreak). Meanwhile, on the NCEI database, some of the dates are different, and in some cases, split up with regards to sequences (2019 and 2024 most prominently). As such, I propose that the listed articles be moved to correct their dates to the official NCEI database to adhere to a more strict definition, as well as reducing the amount of sequence pages we have when NOAA themselves consider them seperate outbreaks with only flimsy weak tornadoes in between. For the last case of the most recent outbreak, since it is not on NCEI yet, March 14-16 is the most common name (and what I'm suspecting will eventually be on the list later this year but we'll cross that bridge when we get there), seeing as how both social media andmanydifferentsourceshave referred to the event as starting on Friday the 14th and March 14-16, with no mention of the California tornado on the 13th (which falls under the previous rationale above and has hardly been mentioned, despite being part of the same system. So let's discuss this once and for all and settle out all our differences, seeing as how this recent outbreak has seemed to bring up quite a bit of them.MarioProtIV (talk/contribs)18:39, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Apostasia of 1965 →July events of 1965 – I request for the title of the page "Apostasia of 1965" to be renamed "July events of 1965" or "Iouliana" (the latter is a transliteration of the Greek term "Ιουλιανά" which means "July events"). While technically, I can do it myself (I think), it is prudent to request a consensus decision, given that the topic may be controversial; it was a major polarizing campaign issue in the 1980s that may still echo today, see evidence (more can be provided) on its political nature: *
Context: These events arose from a disagreement between the popular prime ministerGeorgios Papandreou and the kingConstantine II in July of 1965. The king hastily accepted the resignation of the former and attempted to form a government by luring defections from Papandreou's political party, as he feared that Papandreou had designs to undermine the institution of monarchy. Eventually, the king formed a government (the constitutionality of his actions is disputed) with enough defectors. The side supporting Papandreou accused the defectors of "treason" and denigrated them as "apostates." Reason: I think it is clear that the title of the page, "Apostasia of 1965," is based on the derogative term "apostates" used from one side of the conflict. Thus, it violatesWP:NPOV policy because it implies the supremacy of one (political) opinion by taking a side in this conflict. The "July events of 1965" satisfies the neutrality policy and is the common term used in the literature (see below), soWP:COMMONNAME. Sources: Notable historians donot use the term "Apostasia" as thelabel of the events. "Royal Coup" and "Apostacy" are sometimes mentioned in how the side of Papandreou accused the other side and not as labels of the events. Even if there are such sources, they would not necessarily abide by the WP rules. I present some evidence to support my case (bold emphasis added to note the label used). *
TheJuly events that led to the popular prime minister's resignation were accompanied by massive demonstrations, strikes, and riots giving conservatives a painful sense of déja vu with reference to the turbulent forties. — John S. Koliopoulos &Thanos Veremis [el], "Modern Greece, A history since 1821", Wiley, 2009, p. 140
*
After much effort, the king succeeded, against a background of massive demonstrations by Papandreou's supporters, who called theJuly 1965 events a 'royal putsch' to match Karamanlis' 'electoral putsch' of 1961. — Richard Clogg, "A concise History of Greece" Cambridge University Press 2013, p. 158 (note that he uses the label of "July events" and separates it from the derogative terms used by Papandreou's side)
*
Under the pressure of the great political crisis of July 1965, arising out of the conflict between Papandreou and the young King Constantine, the EK did eventually split, with some 45 out of 171 deputies defecting to support the ‘apostate’ EK government of Stephanos Stephanopoulos, one of the right-wingers whose presence in the EK had always been something of an anomaly. TheIouliana, as the July 1965 crisis came to be known, was to project Georgios Papandreou’s son Andreas to the forefront of the political stage. — Richard Clogg, "Parties and Elections in Greece, The Search for Legitimacy" Duke University Press 1987, p. 125
*
The stormy consequences are known as theIouliana (theJuly events). — David Close, "Greece since 1945" Taylor & Francis 2014, pp. 107-108 (also the subtitle is called "July events")
*
After Mitsotakis' defection, the characterization of the Center Union defectors as 'traitors' declined in favor of the term 'apostates'. Likewise, theJuly Events acquired the name of the 'Apostasy', enshrining within historical memory, not the King's precipitating act, but the decision by the Mitsotakis camp that enabled the King's political coup to prevail. — Draenos Stan "Andreas Papandreou, The Making of a Greek Democrat and Political Maverick", Bloomsbury Publishing 2012, p. 157
King Paul died in March 1964 and was succeeded by his son, Constantine II. In the early days of his reign, while the Constitution of 1952 was still in place, another political crisis of major constitutional dimensions took place, known as the "Iouliana" — theEvents of July. The popular Prime Minister George Papandreou asked that the King allow him to occupy the post of Minister for Defence as well as that of Prime Minister. — Philippos C. Spyropoulos, Theodore P. Fortsakis "Constitutional Law in Greece" Wolters Kluwer, 2023, p. 53
*
For the Civil War generation, the defeat and the subsequent state repression was a continuously repeated inexpressible trauma; for their descendants, who inherited the burden of working through it, the impossibility of transformingIouliana into a "revolutionary crisis" and the eventual imposition of the dictatorship hampered further this very process of mourning, relapsing into melancholy. — Vasiliki Petsa "Memory, Revenge, and Political Violence: Two Case Studies in Greek Fiction" Journal for the Study of Radicalism, 11:1 (2017), pp. 113-134
(Discuss) –Giant Swing →Sao Chingcha – Original rationale: I initially wanted to move this page to “Sao Chingcha” (or “Sao Ching Cha”), for the following reasons. # Used in theTourism Authority of Thailand's website.[4] # The bus stop near the structure is named “Sao Chingcha” in both BMTA's website andViabus application.[5] Note that this is so far the only bus stop in Bangkok with different name than the English Wikipedia article that I can think of (None callWongwian Yai as big roundabout,Victory Monument asAnusawari Chai Samoraphum orDemocracy Monument asAnusawari Prachathipatai # Signs inSam Yot MRT Station primarily refers to this structure as “Sao Chingcha”. # The name “Giant Swing” can be ambiguous with other places, most of which are actual functional swings. # The term “Giant Swing” is often accompanied by the term “Sao Chingcha” anyway.[6] However, I also found many arguments against moving the page to “Sao Chingcha”: # It'd violateWP:TRANSLITERATE # It'd also violateWP:COMMONNAME as variations of “Giant Swing (Bangkok)” yield way more search results on Google than “Sao Chingcha”.[7] So alternately I came up with a new idea, move the page toGiant Swing (Bangkok) instead. Then theGiant Swing redirect would point toProfessional wrestling throws § Giant swing instead. For ONE reason: # If for some reason something new showed up and becomeWP:Primarytopic ofGiant Swing, there would be no need to change the links within Wikipedia to this article as those links had already been updated toGiant Swing (Bangkok). Last but not least I would also like to comment that I don't have any objections if other people would prefer moving to either “Sao Chingcha” (or “Sao Ching Cha”) instead.

While this is true, the scope of the article is intended for both Spectrum HoloByte and Mirrorsoft versions as made clear from the first line, with article even saying in the release section, "Mirrorsoft and Spectrum HoloByte would release versions of Tetris to home computers within a few months of the release of the MS-DOS version, such as the Commodore 64, Apple IIGS, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, MSX and the ZX Spectrum." Not to mention, from what I can find, the original IBM version appears to bethe exact same between Mirrorsoft in the United Kingdom and Spectrum HoloByte in the United States.

The reason is that most casual readers will not be immediately aware that Istanbul had several names historically, so using five of those names (Istanbul, Constantinople, Byzantium, New Rome, and Tsargrad) as titles for different articles isn't really in line withWP:AT policy about using easily-recognizable and consistent article names. Also, the names "Constantinople" and "Istanbul" were both used at the same time for many centuries, which means that the division of historical periods based on city name in use at the time, rather than on explicitly stating the historical period in the article title, is quite unclear (as can be seen by the level of overlap in content between several of these articles). The historical name could be introduced in the lede rather than being used as the title, with something likeBetween 324 and 1453 AD, the present-day city ofIstanbul was generally known as "Constantinople".Chessrat(talk,contributions)15:49, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) –Adam Scott →Adam Scott (disambiguation) – Pageview history over the last five years shows that the actor is the primary topic by pageviews perWP:PT1.Over the last five years the actor has received an average monthly viewership of 115,000 views, while all other Adam Scott articles combined received approximately 22,500 (a greater than 5:1 pageview advantage) Of course, there is a large spike on the pageview graphs recently, which is likely an anomaly due to the current season of Severance. So, if wetruncate the pageview stats to exclude the recent spike, the actor still receives significantly more than all other articles combined: 103,000 average monthly pageviews over 5 years, versus 22,500 for all other articles.

There was already a redirect for Braucherei, which I blanked, but Twinkle will not let me move the Pow-wow (folk magic) article to that name, therefore assistance is needed.

(Discuss) –Bibasis anadi →Burara anadi – Change for the scientific name of butterfly/butterflies in recent literature reversion back to an older combination "Burara anadi" (i.e. from Burara anadi -> Bibasis anadi -> Burara anadi). AsBurara anadi previously existed it has a redirect blocking any move 'back' to that again preferred combination. This same problem affects multiple other species in the same genusBurara, each with blocking redirects preventing moves.

(Discuss) –October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel →October 7 attacks – No need for additional disambiguation (Hamas-led, Israel) in the title, it just makes it longer without adding enough benefit. Going off Google hits, "October 7 attacks" is five times more common than "October 7 Hamas attack" and almost 50 times more common than the full title. "October 7 attack" is even more common, but as there was clearly more than one attack, so the plural form is the correct title. As it has been established that this is the primary topic forOctober 7 attacks, this is a pretty routine request, but as there have been prior RMs, this is here and not at RMTR.🐔ChicdatBawk to me!20:52, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) –Zadoc Dederick →Daniel (Steam Man) – While I've been able to find more on the guy, such as how he began working on the invention at 16, completed the prototype at 22, and died in 1921 in Houston, Texas, nearly all information about him is only found in relation to his Steam Man. Almost all the text in this article could also apply to the other inventor, Isaac Grass, who was 15/16 at the time. Dederick and Grass' steam man could also work for the title since the name Daniel was not given to him by the inventors but used by the workmen they hired.Wowzers122 (talk)13:20, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Berrima Correctional Centre →Berrima Gaol – These three prisons were all built during the 1800s and were originally termed as 'gaols'. In 1992, theNew South Wales Department of Corrective Services renamed its operations at each of them as 'correctional centres' as part of a statewide change. In 2011–12, all three ceased operation as correctional centres. Subsequently, Grafton operated as the lower-order Grafton Intake and Transient Centre between 2012 and 2020, while Berrima was briefly temporarily reactivated as a correctional centre between 2016 and 2020. However, by 2021 all three had ceased prison operations of any kind and had their status as correctional centres revoked.[84][85][86] All or part of the land at each site has left government ownership, making future reactivation extremely unlikely. Given that all three were known as 'gaols' for over 100 years each, and that ongoing interest in them is primarily in relation to their broader heritage rather than their period of operation termed as 'correctional centres' for 20 years between 1992 and 2012, common usage seems now generally to have reverted to referring to them by their original names. For example: Berrima:[87][88][89] Grafton:[90][91][92] Parramatta:[93][94][95]. This is also supported by the Google Ngram data, which shows usage ofXYZ Gaol dipping off around 1992 while ticking back up around 2011–12[96]. Meanwhile, no Ngrams at all are found for anyXYZ Correctional Centre variant.WP:TITLE says that a good Wikipedia article title should be recognizable, natural, precise, concise, and consistent. I believe that making this proposed move would not only reflect actual usage, but also enhance or maintain standing against these five criteria. In particular, using theWP:COMMONNAME ofXYZ Gaol should improve recognizability, naturalness, and concision, while maintaining appropriate precision. The formatXYZ Gaol is also consistent with similar articles for other former prisons in NSW, such asDarlinghurst Gaol,Hay Gaol,Maitland Gaol, andWentworth Gaol.Tomiĉo (talk)08:16, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Technical University of Braunschweig →Technische Universität Braunschweig – Almost identical case toTU Berlin. *1.- The university hasnever officially used the name Technical University of Braunschweig. It officially states that the name in English isTechnische Universität Braunschweigsee here. *2.- Technical university is a misnomer/mistranslation of Technische Universität as it refers to a different type type of higher educational institution in the German system (TUs opposite to technical universities can confer all types of doctoral degrees including humanities, social sciences, law, medicine, etc). *3.- Many years ago, the university used officially the (more appropriate) translation "Braunschweig University of Technology". In 2018 the page wasboldly (sic) moved from that to the current one based on a discussion in which no sufficient references were provided. *4.- Last but not least (actually, the most important point): "Technische Universität Braunschweig" is currently themost commonly used name in English language references, so this is actually the name that satisfiesWP:USEENGLISH.SFBB (talk)00:40, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Skyline High School (Texas) →Skyline Magnet High School – "Skyline High School", which would be the name due toWP:COMMONNAME requires disambiguation to clarify the subject of the article.

There is a metal sign that is on the front of the school that mentions this and also the term "magnet high school". For the sake ofWP:CONCISE, I think "Skyline Magnet High School" is adequate enough while being an upgrade from the current name of the article. Also perWP:TITLECON, this new name would be in line with the names of other unspecialized magnet schools likeYvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet Center.TansoShoshen (talk)07:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) –Landtag Styria →Landtag of Styria – The current title of this article is grammatically incorrect when following English grammar rules. While "Landtag Styria" aligns with German conventions, English Wikipedia adheres to English grammar. Saying "Landtag Styria" is as incorrect as saying "Mayor New York City" instead of "Mayor of New York City." To omit "of", the title would need to be "Styria Landtag". Furthermore, there is no official translation that uses "Landtag Styria", which would be the only valid justification that comes to mind for adopting this unconventional form. –Tobias (talk) 16:28, 6 February 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.DrKay (talk) 08:45, 23 February 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.Jeffrey34555 (talk)03:00, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) –Western Syria clashes (December 2024–present) →Assad loyalist insurgency in Syria (December 2024–present) – Since the fall of Assad, clashes between Assad loyalists and HTS/New security forces and related assassinations haven't been confined to the areas defined as "Western Syria", namely Latakia, Tartus, Western Homs and Western Hama. There have been many incidents, including clashes in other areas such as Rif Dimashq, Deir Ez-Zor, Daraa etc. As of now, there are no other articles on Wikipedia where these events can be/are being documented and the number of these incidents(both inside and outside Western Syria) are increasing every day. With multiple incidents taking place every day, which are not confined to a single region, I think we are speaking of an insurgency. Thus, the current scope of this article is insufficient to document these events and as time goes by and when the move eventually happens at this rate, the retroactive documentation overhead will be quite big.[98]https://x.com/QalaatAlMudiq/status/1897015141155397745[99]https://x.com/Charles_Lister/status/1897004349114683720Xyz464 (talk)13:43, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) –Assemblies of God →World Assemblies of God Fellowship – On 16 July 2007, Assemblies of God and World Assemblies of God Fellowship were merged. Reason was for disambiguation. This request is to unmerge the two pages for the same reason of disambiguation and accuracy. Once unmerge, this page should be redirected to World Assemblies of God Fellowship. The move cannot be made because the name World Assemblies of God Fellowship already exists in the Wikipedia database. It needs to be unmerged first. There is a contention by another author that Assemblies of God is the common name. However, when the average person says, “Assemblies of God,” they are either referring to the Assemblies of God USA denomination or to people in general who belong to an AG denomination. But this page is not about the USA denomination, nor is it about people in general who belong to an AG denomination. This page is about the global cooperative body of over 170 Pentecostal denominations. It self identifies as World Assemblies of God Fellowship, and it is consistently referred to by others as such (per the references cited on the page). Calling this page Assemblies of God does not meet the precision test for article title.Tinihere (talk) 02:41, 3 February 2025 (UTC)This is a contested technical request (permalink).Intrisit (talk) 21:33, 3 February 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.Safari ScribeEdits!Talk! 09:55, 11 February 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.Jeffrey34555 (talk)03:36, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The current title suggests the "NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007" was repealed, when P.L. 115–8 instead uses the Congressional Review Act to overturn a rule issued under NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007.

(Discuss) –Russian invasion of Ukraine →Russo-Ukrainian War (2022–present) –Previous discussion has shown there is rough consensus thatRussian invasion of Ukraine is no longer the ideal way to describe the subject of this article: the three-year period of hostilities in Ukraine and parts of Russia which began on 24 February 2022. Editors have generally agreed, especially following the events since 2024 in the Kursk province of Russia, that an article covering 2022–2025 ought to be titledwar and notinvasion. This also corresponds with the trends that one may find in sources (WP:COMMONNAME), which have increasingly abandoned the terminvasion in favor ofwar to refer to the events currently taking place, as well as the events of the past three years as a whole. If disambiguation withRusso-Ukrainian War becomes necessary as a result of this move, I propose moving that page toRusso-Ukrainian War (2014–present). As a result,Russo-Ukrainian War (2014–present) andRusso-Ukrainian War (2022–present) will exist simultaneously for a temporary period of time during which separate discussions will be had on how to proceed. A word to the wise: if you have proposals to change the scope of this or other articles, or to rename other articles,please save your suggestions for later. Previous experience has shown that everyone seems to have their own different convoluted plan on how to rearrange titling and scope across multiple articles. Such tangents will only serve to diverge our positions and derail the conversation. We can sort the rest out in future discussions; let us try in this RM to take the first step by staying focused on what I think many of us agree on, which is thatinvasion is no longer the appropriate term for an article covering 2022–2025.SaintPaulOfTarsus (talk) 08:00, 24 February 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.TarnishedPathtalk09:29, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) –Environmental impact of aviation in the United Kingdom →Environmental effects of aviation in the United Kingdom – This is a BE article underMOS:TIES, and its descriptor was changed from "effects" to "impact", contrary toMOS:RETAIN, in a mass move not borne from an RM, done only to institute consistency across all titles starting with "environmental impact/effects of ..." That was not a correct move, and the title "Environmental effects of aviation in the United Kingdom" is the correct title for this article. "Impact" in the intended sense (to have an influence on something) is"mainly US" per the Cambridge Dictionary. Irrespective of English variety, this meaning of "impact" is a well-known usage problem, or let's say, usage dilemma, as explainedover at Wiktionary:There are some who find the figurative noun sense problematic, with a low threshold for labeling such use as overuse (wikt:cliché). In defensive editing, the solution is to replace the figurative noun sense withwikt:effect and the verb sense withwikt:affect, which nearly always produces an acceptable result. (Rarely, a phrase such as "the impact of late effects" is better stetted to avoid "the effect of [...] effects".) —Alalch E.21:54, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And, for instance, the British Academy of Film and Television arts is always called either that full name, or more often just "BAFTA," even in the British press. No one calls is merely "The Television Academy." The phrase "The Television Academy" used to redirect straight to theAcademy of Television Arts & Sciences, as I believe it should. But someone came in and instead did a disambiguation page. I think it's reasonable to have a list of different television bodies across the globe but since none, as far as I can tell, seem to be referred to colloquially by the phrase "The Television Academy," I believe that phrase should be a re-direct toAcademy of Television Arts & Sciences and this page can be named something like "Global Television Academies" (or whatever people think is appropriate).

(Discuss) –Burzenland →Țara Bârsei –WP:COMMONNAME. The last RM was rejected for no particular reason, no policy was invoked against WP:COMMONNAME that I argued applied here, I will argue more elaborately my RM now and ask for any opposing users to base their rationale on Wikipedia policies. "Țara Bârsei" is the Romanian name for an originally German ethnographic region today in Romania. "Țara Bârsei" is overall more common than "Burzenland" (the German name) in English-language sources in Google Scholar, it has577 results vs.477 results for Burzenland. We can see that the Romanian name has sharply increased in use in the past, showcasing a shift in academia: only19 English-language sources from before 2000 use Țara Bârsei, vs.89 for Burzenland, the ratio became 1:2 in 2010 (79 vs.151), Burzenland was surpassed in 2019 (353 vs.347), and more than double of sources since 2023 have used Țara Bârsei (75) compared to Burzenland (35), completely reversing the situation. Not only is Țara Bârsei overall more common, it has never been used as widely as today in English. Romanians form today an ethnic majority everywhere in the region (based on the #Towns section of the article) except forApața, where they are a plurality. Having quickly checked all settlements listed there, I don't think I saw a single one where Germans reached even 2% of the population (the German population of Romania has decreased very sharply, from 786,000 in 1939 to 22,907 in 2022, info on why here[120][121]). The region is named after a tributary located fully in Romania, the article of which uses its Romanian name:Bârsa (Olt) (Burzen in German). Opposers of the previous RM stated that this article's topic mostly covers the historical moment when this region still had a German majority, but the name of Țara Bârsei sees widespread modern use (e.g. a local magazine that had published as recently as December 2023[122], a 2024–2027 development project co-funded by the EU[123], a 2025 cultural event[124] or really just rather regular local news[125][126][127][128]). Țara Bârsei is more common both by English-language academia and by the native population, which has not abandoned the name, and it also follows the language of the namesake tributary it is named after. Previous policy-based arguments were dismissed without an appeal to policy.SuperΨDro 00:26, 5 February 2025 (UTC)— Relisting.TarnishedPathtalk13:50, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
