Wikipedia:Requested moves
Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For information on retitling files, categories, and other items, see § When not to use this page.
Before moving a page or requesting a move, please review the article titling policy and the guidelines on primary topics.
Any autoconfirmed user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar; see how to move a page for more information. If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:
- Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. In such cases, see § Requesting technical moves.
- Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
- A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
- A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
- Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time, or closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.
Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.
When not to use this page
Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:
- Making an uncontroversial move – if you can, be bold and do it yourself! If you can't, see § Requesting technical moves.
- Renaming a category – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
- Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion (because stub templates apply an equivalent category).
- Renaming an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving a file page.
- Moves from draft namespace or user space to article space – Unconfirmed users: add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself. - Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Splitting an article – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed article splits, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
- Contesting a move request close – use the Wikipedia:Move review process.
Undiscussed moves
Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:
- No article exists at the new target title;
- There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
- It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.
If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.
Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.
Uncontroversial proposals
Only list here proposals that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete. Things like capitalization and spelling mistakes would be appropriate here. If there is any prior discussion as to the name of the article please link to it. If there is any possibility that the proposed page move could be opposed by anyone, do not list it in this section. If the move location appears as a red link you should be able to move the article using the move button of the top of the article's page (unless your account is less than 4 days old) and don't need to use this page.
Please list new requests at the bottom and use {{subst:WP:RM2|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}}; do not copy, paste, and edit previous entries. No dated sections are necessary, and no templates on the article's talk page are necessary. Do not sign yourself — the template will do it for you.
If your request was not fulfilled, and was removed from this section, please relist it in the #Other proposals section below.
- Jay Ryan (actor) → Jay Bunyan — Actor has only been credited as Jay Ryan once, all other credits use the name Jay Bunyan, so this is the most commonly used name for the actor.--NeilEvans 15:04, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- CIA leak scandal (2003) → Plame affair — a user moved Plame affair to CIA leak scandal, then proceeded to move it to CIA leak scandal (2003); after debate on the talk pages Talk:CIA leak scandal (2003)#Vote on article name the consensus was that the original name, Plame affair, was appropriate. request article be moved back to original name. —Anthonymendoza 15:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- North_American_Masters_Tournament_(defunct) → North_American_Masters_Tournament - As the tournament is not defunct this seems a sensible and uncontravertial move request to me. It has been alive again for 2 years after a brief hiatus.--ZincBelief 10:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Don and Ron Harris → Harris Brothers — It was decided to merge the articles on these two wrestlers into one. Instead of merging them into the existing article on the team, a user merged them into a different page. To preserve the edit history, the article should be moved back to the teams article (which is also the most common name for them). —TJ Spyke 01:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support; this move request is entirely uncontroversial and will preserve the more detailed edit history. McPhail 01:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Freelords → FreeLords — The 'L' needs to be capitalized. —SharkD 02:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Elisabeth, Princess of Savoy-Carignan → Princess Elisabeth of Savoy-Carignan — Changing an incorrect move from an incorrect form of title. —Charles 19:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- WDEO (AM) → WDEO — WDEO is the official callsign of the station, and the disambig currently consists of only WDEO and WDEO-FM (both official FCC callsigns). A disambig can be just as easily be accomplised by the use of the For template at the top of the main article. —JPG-GR 19:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- WGVU (AM) → WGVU — WGVU is the official callsign of the station, and the disambig currently consists of only WGVU, WGVU-FM, and WGVU-TV (all official FCC callsigns). A disambig can be just as easily be accomplised by the use of the For template at the top of the main article. —JPG-GR 19:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- WKAR (AM) → WKAR — WKAR is the official callsign of the station, and the disambig currently consists of only WKAR, WKAR-FM, and WKAR-TV (all official FCC callsigns). A disambig can be just as easily be accomplised by the use of the For template at the top of the main article. —JPG-GR 19:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- WNEM (AM) → WNEM — WNEM is the official callsign of the station, and the disambig currently consists of only WNEM and WNEM-TV (both official FCC callsigns). A disambig can be just as easily be accomplised by the use of the For template at the top of the main article. —JPG-GR 19:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- WUPX (FM) → WUPX — WUPX is the official callsign of the station, and the disambig currently consists of only WUPX and WUPX-TV (both official FCC callsigns). A disambig can be just as easily be accomplised by the use of the For template at the top of the main article. —JPG-GR 19:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Planetary formation → Nebular hypothesis - It better describes the subject of the page, and is already a redirect to it- Serendipodous 20:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Talk:Harry Potter fan fiction → Talk:Harry Potter fandom — I have no idea how or what to do, but the old talk page seems to be an orphan - there's already a well established talk page at the new article name. Help? —SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 02:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Bonnechere River Waterway Provincial Park → Bonnechere River Provincial Park — This is already a redirect, it seems to not move because there is an edit history. "Waterway" is not part of the park title, it is just a classification. —Padraic 17:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- User talk:Erikster → User talk:Erik — New user name; would like to have page history —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 20:12, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hongo Yui → Yui Hongo — WP:ANIME - characters' names should always be in western order. —Malkinann 23:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- User talk:Ohioan → User talk:OHWiki — New user name; would like to have page history —OHWiki (talk • contrib • review) - 05:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Acid-base reaction theories → Acid-base reaction - Want to move so we're able to provide a better overview of other strictly non-definition principles of acid-base reactions.
♥♥ ΜÏΠЄSΓRΘΠ€ ♥♥ slurp me! 11:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Virgil Franklin Partch → Virgil Partch —(Discuss)— Cartoonist is well known, but his middle name is not. No one would ever think of typing in anything other than "Virgil Partch" —Pepso 12:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Paris Review → The Paris Review —(Discuss)— As evident in logo and throughout article, the correct title of the magazine is The Paris Review, not Paris Review. —Pepso 12:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- My Parents Are Aliens episodes → List of My Parents Are Aliens episodes — In line with convention for episode lists, target is a redirect. —Pufnstuf 19:26, 15 April 2007 (UTC);
Incomplete and contested proposals
If a requested move is incomplete (not all steps of the procedure are followed), or if anyone objects to an "uncontroversial" proposal, it should be listed here until the proposer or anyone else completes it. After the completion, please move the entry to the top of "other proposals" section. Please place newly moved requests to the top of this list, and either sign (~~~~) or just put the timestamp (~~~~~) at the end. Proposals that remain here longer than 5 days are subject to removal.
- Juli → Juli (disambiguation) — see next request —Рэдхот(t • c • e) 13:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Juli (band) → Juli — This is the only subject which has an article actually under the name "Juli", all the rest either being informational listings, or directing the user to another article (of a different name). —Рэдхот(t • c • e) 13:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Moved from uncontested. Not a valid reason for moving Juli. User needs to demonstrate that Juli (band) is the primary use. Vegaswikian 20:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Skins (TV series) → Skins - Skins redirects to Skins (TV series) anyway, but it shouldn't have the (TV series) suffix. -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 12:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's only because Skins was recently changed from redirecting to Skin (disambiguation). It may be that the TV series is the primary meaning of "skins", but I think it would need to be discussed first. --Stemonitis 17:44, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Tic Tac (candy) → tic tac The tic tac company strictly uses lowercase letters. --69.142.111.235 06:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- This could easily be opposed by WP:MOSTM; moved from uncontroversial. --Stemonitis 06:25, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Meteoroid → Meteor — less confusing and agreed but because of talk pages advised requires admin, also pending merger - gotta keep it all straight —Smkolins 23:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC) see User_talk:Smkolins - merger_seems_awkward for agreement.
- All meteors are meteoroids but not vice versa. This needs to be discussed in full. Moved from uncontroversial. --Stemonitis 08:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- While true how would this be fixed? Unmerge?--Smkolins 13:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- It may be an indication that the current title is better than the proposed one, since it covers the entire topic, not just one sub-type of meteoroid. --Stemonitis 14:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- So weird → So Weird — All instances of the name in print (TV schedules, old articles on the show) and the majority of web pages list the name of the show with caps. The statement that the show's proper title is sans caps is a long-standing inaccuracy, from even before Wikipedia allowed titles to function without capitalization. In my attempt to finally fix it, I botched the job - I was unaware of the "move" option, and made the mistake of using the cut and paste method to move the article. The article was moved back and I was informed of my error, but now the move requires an administrator to assist. —Adam the Alien 06:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Moved from uncontroversial. --Stemonitis 08:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Other proposals
All of the proposals listed below need to have a discussion set up on talk page of the article to be moved. Please use the template {{subst:WP:RM|Old Page Name|Requested name|Reason for move}} and, if necessary, create a new dated section.
![]() | Please use the correct template: see the instructions above. Do NOT attempt to copy and paste formatting from another listing. |
- Dudu Awat → Dudu Aouate —(Discuss)— Somebody moved the page improperly by cutting and pasting. This is the official spelling of the subject's last name as well as the most common usage. —NYC2TLV 17:40, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yochanan Vollach → Yochanan Wallach —(Discuss)— Seems to be official name and common usage. —NYC2TLV 17:37, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Airport-Manchester Line → Styal Line —(Discuss)— Seems official and common usage. Airport Line only seems to refer to the spur or a potential extension of the Manchester Metrolink —Simply south 17:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Microsoft Publisher → Microsoft Office Publisher —(Discuss)— To use the current official name —Neo-Jay 11:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC).
- Grand Army Plaza-Prospect Park (IRT Eastern Parkway Line) → Grand Army Plaza (IRT Eastern Parkway Line) —(Discuss)— To use the common name. --NE2 08:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- NiGHTS into Dreams... → Nights into Dreams... —(Discuss)— Standard WP:MOSCAPS and WP:MOSTM issues apply; NiGHTS is not an acronym. Red link suggests it could be moved now; but, I've learned to expect that these end up at RM discussions anyway; so, cut out the middle-man. —Neier 06:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Bad Blood → Bad blood —(Discuss)— The article located at "Bad blood" (with the second word lowercase) simply redirects to "Bad Blood" (with it capitalized). If there is no real article at the former, it might just as simply be the disambiguation page itself. —PaladinWhite 05:40, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Flushing, Netherlands → Vlissingen —(Discuss)— See talk, move from old-fashioned English name to more common local name —DWaterson 17:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- West Midlands urban area → West Midlands conurbation —(Discuss)— reverse unwelcome move - see talk —Andy Mabbett 14:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC). Thank you. Andy Mabbett 14:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Point (mortgage) → Discount point —(Discuss)— Article generally refers to the concept as "discount point" and states that the two are interchangeable. Also, using the longer name helps to differentiate from basis point. —MrZaiustalk 12:40, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Axe (deodorant) → AXE or AXE (deodorant) —(Discuss)— You only need to look at the bottles to see that it's all capitalized. —Yonatan talk 12:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ganimes → Ganime —(Discuss)— I believe the s ending is spurious. The Japanese title of the film given on the Space amoeba page supprts my claim. —Scottandrewhutchins 04:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- AMD K8L → AMD K10 —(Discuss)— The name K8L was merely speculation; AMD itself calls it K10 internally, so the two articles are contradicting each other. —♠ SG →Talk 03:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Kamoebas (kaiju) → Kameba —(Discuss)— The turtle monster's Japanese name is Kamēba (カメーバ) but some believe it is supposed to be spelled "Kamoebas". This argument appears to lack sufficient verifiability for the change. An edit struggle has created such a mess that it can't be ironed out without administrator aid. —–Gunslinger47 01:03, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Bnei Sakhnin F.C. → Bnei Sakhnin —(Discuss)— There is no mention of the FC suffix being appended to Bnei Sakhnin anywhere. —Yonatan talk 00:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Salvatore Belleci → Tory Belleci —(Discuss)— Its his far more common nickname. wikipedia naming policy —DAVID CAT 23:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC) DAVID CAT 23:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Internet Movie Database → IMDb —(Discuss)— just like CNN, the more commonly used name —Yonatan talk 22:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Skogskyrkogården → Woodland Cemetery, Stockholm —(Discuss)— —evrik (talk) 17:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC) - name doesn't make sense in English. Rename has been listed for months. --evrik (talk) 17:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Cachalot Council → Cachalot District —(Discuss)— —evrik (talk) 14:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Article named incorrectly. --evrik (talk) 14:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania → Mecklenburg-Vorpommern —(Discuss)— Reasons explained in Talk:Mecklenburg-Western_Pomerania#Requested_move. Basically, this English translation is a bit too wordy/long, not really in use and, most importantly misleading. Likedeeler 12:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Dirty War → Human rights abuse during the Argentine military junta —(Discuss)— Reasons explained in Talk. Basically, the term "Dirty War" is POV: it was used by the junta itself to claim that there was an effective "state of war" thus legitiming "extraordinary measures". This expression was explicitly refused during the Trial of the Juntas after the return to democracy. —Tazmaniacs 08:28, 13 April 2007
- Rugby League Challenge Cup → Challenge Cup —(Discuss)— Challenge Cup is a redirect page to Rugby League Challenge Cup anyway, so I don't think it should be too much hassle to move it. The competition is called the Challenge Cup and not the Rugby League Challenge Cup, that would be like naming a page the Football (soccer) Premier League rather than the Premier League or the American Football National Football League rather than simply the National Football League.—Tiburon 08:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Template:Casualties of the PKK conflict → Template:Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict —([[Talk:Template:Casualties of the PKK conflict#Requested move|Discuss]])— This template is used in the article Casualties of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. It provides a one-sided (POV) view of the conflict as a timeline. This template should be first moved, then expanded to include attacks by both sides. - Francis Tyers · 11:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- 24 hour watch → 24-hour watch —(Discuss)— Standard hyphenation of adjectives. Also applies to 24 hour analog dial. --Quuxplusone 02:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC) —Quuxplusone 02:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- 2006 Lebanon War → 2006 Israel-Lebanon War —(Discuss)— There was no consensus to drop Israel from the title in last week's move, only to change "Conflict" to "War." as discussed here —Kendrick7talk 02:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Anti-Polish sentiment → Anti-Polonism —(Discuss)— This is the appropriate title. —logologist|Talk 01:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- The Yiddish Policemen's Union: A Novel → The Yiddish Policemen's Union —(Discuss)— "A Novel" is not part of the title; it is an explanatory tag appended to many novel titles. Placing "A Novel" on the title page of novels is a publishing convention, so the phrase often appears as part of the title in library and bookseller catalogues. But in ordinary usage "A Novel" is not considered part of the title. —ShelfSkewed talk 22:05, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Al-Aqsa Intifada → Second Intifada —(Discuss)— Both names are widely used (A9 books: [1] vs. [2], Google books: [3] vs. [4], Google scholar: [5] vs. [6]+[7], Google web phrase: [8] vs. [9]+[10], Google web allintitle: [11] vs. [12]), but Al-Aqsa is a POV name implying that it was Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount that caused Palestinian violence. An alternative would be Oslo War, but it is also a POV and is much less popular. The neutral Second Intifada title doesn't carry any POV connotations. —←Humus sapiens ну? 21:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Pippin the Younger → Pepin the Short —(Discuss)— The current name is ambiguous and could be used to refer to Pippin of Heristal. "Pepin" is also more common in English than "Pippin." Srnec 20:42, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Multi-storey car park → Parking garage —(Discuss)— As it is stated in the article, the term "multi-storey car park" only applies to the United Kingdom and its former colonies. Parking garage is a much more universal term. —Crashintome4196 19:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Death grunt → Death growl —(Discuss)— Consensus for the page to be moved has been reached before on the talkpage. Consensus has been reached before that the most common term is Death growl. I could not move the page myself because the destination already has a history. —Leon Sword 05:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Norouz → Nowruz —(Discuss)— Nowruz is the most common spelling in both the English books [13] and the academic articles [14]. Also, it is consistent with the Persian transliteration standards [15] (unlike "Norouz") and closer to WP:AMOS. Jahangard 00:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Independent evidence for Apollo Moon landings → Apollo missions tracked by independent parties -(Discuss) This page needs to remove per WP:WEIGHT considerations. Hoax proponent beliefs should be marginalized at Wikipedia. The second title does this adequately. Evidence does not need to be found for the Apollo missions, but independent tracking is an NPOV title. --ScienceApologist 01:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Discuss links to a misnamed talk page ("the" is added). Could an admin please merge the comments there to Talk:Independent evidence for Apollo Moon landings? –Pomte 21:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yerba mate → Yerba maté —(Discuss)— Correct spelling in the English language carries an accent over the e, missing in the original Spanish designation (see: The New Oxford American Dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary, the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, the Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary and the Columbia Encyclopedia). Spanish-speaking users who never knew how the word was spelled in English are up in arms monopolising the discussion. But this is the English Wikipedia and the correct spelling is well established in the many reputable sources referenced above. —☆ CieloEstrellado 19:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ohio State University → The Ohio State University —(Discuss)— This is what the university is called. —ABCBS 17:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Mukacheve → Mukachevo —(Discuss)— Mukachevo is the official name of the city. Sakura-org 15:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- American wine → USA wine —(Discuss)— No need to use a 'difficult' word for an article name when there's a perfectly good neutral alternative —FlagSteward 11:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

- The Fall (novel) → The Fall —(Discuss)— This is in fact a request to have two pages moved back to where they originally were about ten months ago -- one discussing the novel by Albert Camus and the other discussing the English rock band -- and which were moved with little discussion. The band itself is named after Camus' novel, and so common sense alone seems to provide ample justification for keeping the original -- the novel -- with the unqualified title of "The Fall" and then qualifying the title of the article discussing the band, i.e. "The Fall (band)", which was inspired by it. However, there are also other good reasons for doing this: google tests for " 'The Fall' and 'Mark Smith' " and " 'The Fall' and 'Mark E Smith' " (making use of the name of the band's frontman) return 50,200 and 151,000 results respectively. Note that I've used quotations around "Mark Smith" and "Mark E Smith" since these names are extremely common in English. A google test for " 'The Fall' Camus " returns 290,000. (Concerns for for worldwide views also compel me to note that, although Camus' google test is restricted to only the English language as per Wikipedia's conventions, it would also have significantly more results if the original French were taken into consideration; the band, being natively English, is not likely to have more results in any other language than it does in English.) Finally, the articles' respective wiki projects rate the band at "High Importance" and Camus' novel at "Top Importance". --Todeswalzer|Talk 14:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- Case Closed → Detective Conan —(Discuss)— Current name is only an Anglo-American commercial name of the series, fans self-identify the series by the proposed name, which has been used to refer the series since 1996 and is continually used in most places of the world; "Case Closed" is only refer specifically to the American adaptation. Also, the usage of the name Case Closed would cause name consistency confusions for articles in which the American version has not been released (or even licensed), e.g. Detective Conan: The Phantom of Baker Street. —Samuel CurtisShinichian-Hirokian-- TALK·CONTRIBS 14:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

As the demo is of course less important, it should remain where it is. The archived debate says the album and song would get around the same number of searches, which is true, so why has The Fake Sound of Progress been made a redirect to the album? There is no need for the (song) suffix for the single article, as was agreed at the time the article was created. The disambiguation lines at the top of each article are suffcient, and do not assume which page the user wants. —U-Mos 13:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Cheonji lake → elsewhere —(Discuss)— a stable name must be found for this article, the subject of recent move warring —Stemonitis 07:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Canadian of English descent → English Canadian —(Discuss)— page describes colloquial use of term which (unfortunately) is used by some to many to mean anglophone Canadian. A number of users have requested this revert, particularly in that now there is also a Canadians of English descent page as well. There are redirects that should go to this page as well - English-Canadian, and English Canadians Mayumashu 03:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I would disagree with the contention that such use is colloquial, an error, or unfortunate. I believe "some to many" should be "most". Joeldl 09:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Joeldl that most English-speaking Canadians tend to use "English Canadian" over anglophone Canadian. I had never heard the term "anglophone" until I lived for a year in Quebec, and I was a French language major at a Canadian university. I did a cut and past move of the material at Canadian of English Descent to English-Canadian a short while ago (not realizing the problem this would create in terms of the article history), without deleting any of the previous material. I would support a proper move. Thank you.Corlyon 19:37, 15 April 2007 (UTC)Corlyon.
