Unnecessary moves
Hi, I see you've moved a number of Ottoman proper name titles. These moves are unnecessary.See WP Foreign name anglicization. If there are too few reliable English-language sources to constitute an established usage, follow the conventions of the language appropriate to the subject.

Move to Sheikh ul-Islam
Hi, Fongtzack. What makes you think that the form "ul-Islam" reflects usage in English? In English the Arabic definite article is generally rendered as "al-" and the "ul-" form isn't used in the cited sources for that article. Eperoton (talk) 02:32, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I can move it to Sheikh al-Islam, if you want. But I saw both in English-language-books and the List of Sheikh-ul-Islams of the Ottoman Empire that Sheikh-ul-Islam with u is most commonly used.--Fongtzack (talk) 11:48, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * That's because the u reflects the Ottoman Turkish spelling. When discussing the subject in general, encyclopedias and other sources follow the original Arabic spelling. I don't have a strong opinion about the spelling of sheikh, but we should restore the al-. Thanks! Eperoton (talk) 02:33, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * P.S. My phrasing was a bit sloppy here. I was referring to transliteration conventions for the two languages. Eperoton (talk) 02:51, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
