Page rename
What is the process to ask an admin to move a page? Pdfpdf (talk) 04:13, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't move "William Holmes (general)" to "William Holmes (Australian general)" )
 * "William Holmes (general)" either needs to become a dab page, or a redirect to William Holmes / William Holmes (disambiguation)


 * You could place a 'requested move' on WP:RM, but in this case I think it's a fairly trivial request (makes sense to me), therefore I've just changed your above to an  - and hopefully one will magically appear here very soon, and see if they can move the page for you.

 * Since there is obviously some disagreement over the page's title, please use WP:RM as Chzz suggested. Regards  So Why  06:06, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

William Holmes (general) → — The "Australian" standard is to disambiguate someone who is/was notable because they are/were a general or an admiral, by adding (general) or (admiral). Where there is more than one general of that name, the "Australian" standard is to use (Australian general). The two generals (see William Holmes) are: For some unexplained reason, someone renamed William Holmes (Australian general) to William Holmes (general), and I can't change it back - it needs an admin to do it. Like Chzz, I think it's a fairly trivial request. However, SoWhy has requested: "please use WP:RM", so I have. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:20, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * William Holmes (Australian general), Australian General from World War I
 * William Holmes (British general), British General of World War II
 * Support In view of the existence of above-indicated entry for William Holmes (British general), the move of William Holmes (general) to William Holmes (Australian general) is eminently reasonable.&mdash;Roman Spinner (talk) 15:12, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - neither of these men is more notable than the other and indeed they are both listed in alphabetical order on the dab page, so there is no reason to treat this article as a sort of "primary topic". Green Giant (talk) 16:21, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
