Beach vs. Beaches

 * Yah, that's the second time in the last month or so that someone has edited the Beaches article to reflect their own take on the name debate. I suspect that with the media suddenly paying attention to the "controversy" again, this sort of edit will occur more frequently.  Skeezix1000 16:28, 8 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hope you don't disagree with my minor addition to your recent edits. I figure by adding the word "historically", we might avoid those who would feel the need to add a mention of every single business or entity they can think of containing the words Beach or Beaches.  --Skeezix1000 18:17, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Beach move
While it was appropriate to change the article name, this would have been best accomplished with the 'move' function, which would preserve the edit history and carry the talk page with it.

I'll try to track down an administrator to fix it... Radagast 18:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Turns out there's a template for this very task! I've added it, the next admin to see it on the list should handle it... Radagast 18:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * As I said on the discussion pages for both The Beach (Toronto) and the Beaches, kudos for being bold. But I think, given the controversy over the name, achieving consensus through Requested moves is the better way to go.  I don't actually agree with the above comment that "while it was appropriate to change the article name...", although the consensus at some point may be, in fact, to undertake that very move.

 * On a related point, I do not believe that the template added by Radagast is necessarily the right way to go either. This is a potentially controversial move, and there should be a discussion through Requested moves before The Beaches is merged with anything.  The loss of the edit history is only part of the problem here.  Skeezix1000 20:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
