Move

There has been an inappropriate and unannounced move of the Ada Lovelace page to Ada King, Countess of Lovelace. Please revert this move. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:16, 28 March 2014 (UTC). I received this message on my talk page:[reply]

Why is the move required to be announced, and why am I required to revert it, especially given that Ada Byron is referred to as "Lovelace" for most of the extremely long article? Quis separabit? 00:19, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Ada King??

Doesn't renaming this article go against the WP:COMMONNAME rule? - J. Van Meter (talk) 00:19, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it does. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

If it is then I apologize and I can try to revert the article title, but I would point out that most of the Ada Byron/Ada King article refers to her as "Lovelace". Quis separabit? 00:22, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not make further major edits to this contentious page without obtaining consensus. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:27, 28 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

I was unaware the page was that contentious. I saw no admin warning or 1RR notice. We all make mistakes. Quis separabit? 00:29, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty obvious that the page is contentious if you read the talk above. Contentious or not you should obtain consensus before making a major change. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:34, 28 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]
