If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

Technical requests
[edit]Uncontroversial technical requests
[edit]- Licania splendens → Angelesia splendens (currently a redirect back to Licania splendens) (move · discuss) – Angelesia splendens is now the accepted name for the species per Plants of the World Online, the most widely accepted taxonomic database for naming issues like this Declangi (talk) 23:41, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Declangi, but it seems Licania splendens is the WP: COMMONNAME per sources. Maybe you need a community consensus. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 14:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- This is not the common name, rather simply that the taxonomy has been (very) recently updated and this and some other associated articles need updates to reflect the current status. older ≠ wiser 15:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- Talk:Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government (currently a redirect to Talk:Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government) → Talk:Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (move · discuss) – talk page left behind from recent article move (special:redirect/logid/163101706) 148.252.144.110 (talk) 15:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- The Rape of the Sabine Women → Rape of the Sabine Women (currently a redirect back to The Rape of the Sabine Women) (move · discuss) – Remove "the". Cf. the article's "the"-less title in every other language's Wikipedia; cf. the bolding of "The Rape of the Sabine Women, also known as..." in the intro paragraph. Quuxplusone (talk) 15:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ek Chuaj → Ek Chuah (currently a redirect back to Ek Chuaj) (move · discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME: Google Ngrams. Searches on Google Books and Google Scholar will return more results for the target name (Ek Chuah). Yue🌙 16:06, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
[edit]Contested technical requests
[edit]- Micromeria douglasii → Clinopodium douglasii (currently a redirect back to Micromeria douglasii) (move · discuss) – Clinopodium douglasii better reflects the current taxonomic understanding of this species. This article title already exists as a redirect page to Micromeria douglasii, so page swap is required and I do not have admin rights to perform this. "Italic title" template will need to be included. I will revise and update article once the move is performed. Peter G Werner (talk) 19:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Peter G Werner This has been moved two times in the past so I suggest starting a requested move discussion to avoid issues. C F A 💬 00:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Privatisation in Pakistan → Privatization in Pakistan (currently a redirect back to Privatisation in Pakistan) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT: (Pakistan Privatization Commission, Privatization, Privatization in Azerbaijan, Privatization in the United States, Privatization in Croatia, Privatization in Slovakia) Ainty Painty (talk) 06:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- JR Ritchie → J. R. Ritchie (currently a redirect back to JR Ritchie) (move · discuss) – This should be moved per MOS:INITS but it's occupied by a redirect and I don't know how to overcome that. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Denniscabrams Per MOS:BIOEXCEPT an overwhelming majority of sources use "JR", as it's short for "Junior" not an initialism. --Ahecht (TALK
