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 Misplaced Pages:Requested moves.

• 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.
• 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.

Technical requests

Uncontroversial technical requests

• Mykhailo Verbytsky (currently a redirect to Mykhailo Verbytskyi) → Mykhailo Verbytskyi (move · discuss) – According to Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Romanization of Ukrainian. VSL (talk) 19:45, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

• Crunchyroll LLC (currently a redirect to Crunchyroll, LLC) → Crunchyroll (entertainment company) (move · discuss) – See: WP:COMPANY but here it does not say clearly and precisely how to move the page from LLC to an entertainment company. 179.53.54.199 (talk) 21:20, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

• Varsity team → Varsity (move · discuss) – This is the main page on the subject. The previous page called "Varsity" has been moved to Varsity (disambiguation) as it was a disambiguation page. Mn1548 (talk) 17:06, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
  • The disambiguation page was moved back. There is no policy against having disambiguation pages that don't include "(disambiguation)" in their titles. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:17, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
    • @BarrelProof: True, there is not, but generally speaking when "topic x" has an article about it that article is called "topic x" and the page that links to similar stuff is called "topic x (disambiguation)" - that's what's going on here. The current article "Varsity" is a disambiguation page, where as the article talking about the dictionary definition of varsity is titled "Varsity team", a titles which is only applicable to the North American English definition of the word, even though it talks about the British English definition in its first section (even before I starting editing the page), as well as information about Dutch and South African varsities, also based on the British English definition. Said page is also currently tagged with "not representing a world view", and having a North American English title doesn't help. The title "Varsity" is inclusive of both British and North American English definitions. Which is why I moved "Varsity" to "Varsity (disambiguation)" to free up the title to move "Varsity team" to "Varsity". Mn1548 (talk) 15:09, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
• Leah Isadora Behn → Leah Behn (currently a redirect back to Leah Isadora Behn) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME 12u (talk) 11:47, 29 June 2023 (UTC) 12u (talk) 11:47, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

  @12u: Actually, Ghits returns significantly more for the current title than the proposed one. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 12:12, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

• Paleo-Indians → Paleo-Indian (currently a redirect back to Paleo-Indians) (move · discuss) – Per WP:PLURAL Kehkou (talk) 07:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Kehkou: WP:PLURAL#Exceptions: Articles on religious, national, or ethnic groupings of people. No such user (talk) 09:18, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
• Rankinia → Mountain dragon (currently a redirect back to Rankinia) (move · discuss) – Common name for taxon used much more commonly than genus name Chumzwumz68 (talk) 22:23, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

  @Chumzwumz68: My Gsearch for "Mountain dragon" "lizard" return 33k hits, while my Gsearch for "Rankinia" returns 48k, making the current title more fitting to WP:COMMONNAME. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 12:12, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
