User:SMcCandlish/Logs/My RMs, July–August 2014

About a month's worth of my rename discussion paticipation, starting from late July and running into late August, 2014, until I got tired of copy-pasting all this stuff. I'm on the right side of these way over 90% of the time.

Direct to disc -> Direct-to-disc – uncontested, unreverted


 * Wikipedia:WikiProject Agriculture/Members → Wikipedia:WikiProject Agriculture/Participants – uncontested, unreverted
 * Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biology/Members → Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biology/Participants – uncontested, unreverted
 * Wikipedia:WikiProject_History/Outreach/Members → Wikipedia:WikiProject_History/Outreach/Participants – uncontested, unreverted
 * Wikipedia:WikiProject Horticulture and Gardening/Members → Wikipedia:WikiProject Horticulture and Gardening/Participants – uncontested, unreverted
 * Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthropology/Members → Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthropology/Participants – uncontested, unreverted


 * World Eight-ball Pool Federation → World Eightball Pool Federation – uncontested, unreverted


 * Gulf Coast Native → Gulf Coast Native sheep – uncontested, unreverted
 * Swedish Blue duck → Swedish blue duck – Moot: This landrace (not breed) article would have been renamed per MOS:LIFE as I suggested, but the article was rewritten and re-sourced to obviate this by changing it to an article on the landrace and a same-named breed derived from it, and re-focused on the breed, which should be capitalized.  I closed the RM myself as rescinded, as it had become a scope discussion. I leave it to readers of Talk:Swedish Blue duck to decide whether changing the article's scope was just an exercise in keeping capitalization at all costs. The article would be fine lower-cased and focusing on the original landrace and its wide influence, rather than the narrow, formal breed, but regardless, my article name cleanup efforts triggered the significant expansion of an article that probably would have received no additional attention for years. Not exactly "disruptive".


 * Monument (Spain) → National monuments of Spain – uncontested, unreverted


 * National heritage sites (South Africa) → National heritage sites of South Africa – uncontested, unreverted

Regular RMs I opened

 * Australian Pit Game → Australian Pit Game fowl – closed as "moved", as I proposed. (Immediately subject to editwarring against implementation  for a while by same editor who later filed the ungodly mess of a self-contradictory RM at Talk:Teeswater sheep as if this RM never happened.)


 * West African Dwarf → West African Dwarf goat  – closed as "moved", as I proposed

Seed bank → Seed bank (disambiguation) – closed as "moved", as I proposed.
 * Seedbank → Seed bank and


 * Tom Shows → Tom show – Unopposed.  (It seemed speediable to me, but safer to list as a full RM because it involved both a plurality fix and a case fix.)

Regular RMs others opened

 * Gratis versus libre → Free (word) – I opposed the move; RM closed as "Page not moved: insufficient support".


 * Neo-impressionism → Neo-Impressionism  – I weakly supported on a technicality, RM closed as "no consensus" (not moved).  I'm "secretly" happy about this, because it's one crack in the armor of treating visual art but not any other movements/genres, as capitalized proper names for no explicable reason.

Chihuahua → Chihuahua (disambiguation) – I opposed the move, RM closed as "not moved".
 * Chihuahua (dog) → Chihuahua and

Paul George → Paul George (disambiguation) – I opposed the move; RM cloased as "Move" (on the basis of pageviews but against Google Books results). I disagree with treating the sports figure as automatically more notable than the others simply because he's in the news right now, but can live with it.
 * Paul George (basketball) → Paul George and


 * Love You like a Love Song → Love You Like a Love Song – I supported the move, but RM closed as "not moved", on an MOS point, but MOS doesn't actually address use of "like" as a proposition.  MOS sanctions lower casing short common prepositions like "in" and "from", but not all of them.  I think a second RM would overturn this. If not, it has implications for possibly many thousands of articles on published works with longer or less common prepositions in them ("against", etc.) which are actually conventionally capitalized in titles.


 * Government of Louisville, Kentucky → Louisville Metro – I opposed the move; RM closed as "not moved".


 * List of people who were beheaded → List of people who were decapitated – I (and another) supported a split; RM closed as "Page not moved: it appears that another solution is preferred" (i.e. the split).


 * Yazidi → Yazidis or Yazidi Kurds – I supported Yazidis if we were sure it was the correct plural (it was); RM closed as "moved to 'Yazidis.


 * Zazaki → Zaza Kurds to_change_name – I supported either Zaza people or Zaza Kurds; article was prematurely moved by someone else to Zaza people, and RM closed as "Page not moved" (away from Zaza people), "no consensus".


 * Hui-Ling Wang → Wang Hui-ling – I strongly supported this move (fixing Asian names put wrongly into Western order is long over-due); RM closed as "moved".


 * Ben Zion Halberstam → Ben-Zion Halberstam – I tentatively opposed for lack of evidence; sources were not provided; RM closed as "not moved. No sources are provided to justify the move".


 * Tomi Jurić → Tomi Juric – I tentatively opposed for lack of evidence; sources were provided in response, and RM closed as "Page moved" (I call that a "win").


 * Tommy (album) → Tommy (The Who album) – I supported the move; RM cloased as "Page not moved: no consensus"


 * Austin Peay State Governors and Lady Govs → Austin Peay Governors and Lady Govs, etc. – I suggested Austin Peay State University sports]] instead; RM closed as "moved" (in favor of original nom).

Bloke → Bloke (disambiguation) move 2014 – I supported the moves; RM closed as "moved".
 * Bloke (word) → Bloke and


 * Jawa Motors → JAWA Moto   I suggested alternative move, to Jawa Moto; RM closed early as "moved by nominator to 'Jawa Moto' as an uncontroversial move".


 * BASE jumping → Base jumping – I opposed the move, RM closed as "not moved".


 * Sportsperson → Athlete – The content of sportsperson → athlete; the content at athlete → athlete (disambiguation) – I supported the moves; RM closed as "pages moved".
 * Ultra high definition television → Ultra-high-definition television – I supported the move; RM closed as "moved".


 * White-collar boxing → White collar boxing – I opposed the moves, RM closed as "not moved".  This one was an attempt to revert a direct move I'd made earlier.  As usual – because I based moves on policy, not on what I might like on my own blog or whatever – the move was "controversial" to one person (if any at all) but not the community when put to the longer RM test.


 * Janet (album) → Janet. (album) – I opposed the moves, RM closed as "not moved".


 * Fibro → Asbestos cement – I supported the move; RM closed as "moved".


 * War rape → Wartime sexual violence – I supported, but to alternate title Wartime rape as more concise and less p.c. buzzwordy; article was moved to the originally proposed title, as more general, a result I'm okay with. (My favoring of concision is very weak, and yields to utility; I supported the userspacing of User:Born2cycle/Concision razor as an essay that doesn't actually reflect consensus.)

Roland → Roland (soldier) – I opposed the moves, RM closed as "not moved".
 * Roland (disambiguation) → Roland and


 * Madonna (entertainer) → Madonna (singer) – I opposed the move, RM closed as "not moved".

National character area → National Character Area, and Natural areas of England → Natural Areas of England – I opposed these moves, and the mass RM closed as "not moved".
 * Local nature reserve → Local Nature Reserve,

Mustang horse → Mustang – Supported this alternative proposal, and it prevailed.
 * Mustang horse → Mustang (horse) – Opposed move, move was rejected.
 * Mustang → Mustang (disambiguation) and


 * Talk:Wolverine (character) – I opposed move; closed as "no consensus to move".

Other naming discussions

 * Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Unnecessary disambiguation – I supported userspacing, MfD closed as "userfy".


 * Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Concision razor – I supported userspacing, MfD closed as "userfy".


 * Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics) – my suggestion to resolve the (partially naming-related) conflict between this page an Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Comics was closed in favor of my proposal.


 * Talk:The Edge – I supported lower case, RfC closed in support of lower case.
