Wikipedia:Requested moves

September 26, 2011

1. [1] Line-in Recording → Line-in recording

   I predict this will move as requested. This is a proper noun/common noun question, and I think the requester is probably right.

2. [2] Piracy in the Caribbean → Piracy in the Atlantic

   I predict this will move as requested. Not really a COMMONNAME issue, since it's a descriptive title, and the request seems to be about making it more accurately fit the scope of the article.

3. [3] Christ's College, Canterbury → Christ's College, Christchurch / Linwood College (New Zealand) → Linwood College / Hornby High School, Christchurch → Hornby High School

   This one's a multi-move. They all seem uncontroversial, and I predict all 3 will move as requested

4. [4] Freyer's purple emperor → Apatura metis

   This one's not a brand new request, but a relisting. The request is well-argued, and I'll bet it's moved as requested.

5. [5] George VI of the United Kingdom → George VI / Edward VIII of the United Kingdom → Edward VIII / George V of the United Kingdom → George V / Edward VII of the United Kingdom → Edward VII

   This one's hard. It's complicated because it involves the well-established and supported NCROY guideline. However, I suspect it will succeed. There's not a lot of support for unnecessary-seeming disambiguation, but there's a lot of support for consistency within sets of articles. However, the case for the consistency break beginning with Victoria is well-made, so I predict yes for all

Day 1, I seem to be optimistic. Tomorrow, we'll see what tomorrow brings...

1. [6] - Ryan McDonald → Ryan Mcdonald

   This is a clear case for COMMONNAME. I'll be quite surprised if "Mcdonald" is more common, so I predict no move.

2. [7] - Recruitment Process Outsourcing → Recruitment process outsourcing
3. [8] - Mass Psychogenic Illness → Mass psychogenic illness
4. [9] - Name and Shame → Name and shame
5. [10] - Continuous Partial Attention → Continuous partial attention

   For all of 2-4 I predict move. I think these are probably all common nouns. That's shooting completely from the hip, which is what makes it a guess. We gotta make this interesting, right? Most moves are easy to call.
