Appearance
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:..."
- Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
- To list a technical request: Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
the - If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
- If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- User:Colargolnordine/Noga (currently a redirect to Draft:Noga (singer)) → Noga (musician) (move · discuss) – Please move this user draft to the main article space. This is a translated and sourced article based on the French Wikipedia page fr:Noga (chanteuse). Thank you! Colargolnordine (talk) 19:28, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- Colargolnordine, I urge you to click or tap the "Submit for review" button in the page to see if it is ready to be moved to the mainspace. If the "draft article" template wasn't there, I would've done this myself since the preferred target title is free/red-linked! Intrisit (talk) 22:01, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- Battle of Valdevez → Valdevez Tournament (move · discuss) – correct translation from Portuguese 2001:8A0:F0A2:DD01:59F1:1CD:7175:22B7 (talk) 04:39, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- This is an actual battle, not a participatory and audienced tournament (Tournament is described as a 'sport' or a 'game'). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:44, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- That's not the definition of tournament in medieval history, what did occur was a chivalrous competition which is why it's called a Valdevez Tournament in Portugal and not simply Battle of Valdevez 2001:8A0:F0A2:DD01:59F1:1CD:7175:22B7 (talk) 15:20, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

- East Asian people → East Asians (currently a redirect back to East Asian people) (move · discuss) – No article on Wikipedia has the term "East Asian people" in its title while many articles have the term "East Asians" in their titles (examples: Stereotypes of East Asians in the United States, East Asians in the United Kingdom, Portrayal of East Asians in American film and theater, Genetic history of East Asians, Perception of East Asians in Spanish society, Alzheimer's disease among East Asians, etc); move per WP:TITLECON. – Treetoes023 (talk) 16:04, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Treetoes023 This is, on its face, not an uncontroversial reason for moving the page. The reasoning should be decided by consensus in a RM. cyberdog958Talk 16:18, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- User:Amir Segev Sarusi/Yoram Kraus → Yoram Kraus (move · discuss) – Finished draft Amir Segev Sarusi (talk) 10:50, 19 May 2025 (UTC)--Amir Segev Sarusi (talk) 10:50, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- I'm hesitant to publish to the main page as it stands, it should probably go to draft space and go through WP:AFC first. The article looks more like a CV or promotional piece for the individual concerned than an encyclopedia article. — Amakuru (talk) 10:59, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- This is a translation of a Hebrew article I originally wrote, which was not considered controversial. I have made an effort to present a balanced account, including relevant context and details. As for the claim that the article does not adhere to NPOV guidelines, it explicitly references companies that went bankrupt and relies on independent sources—many of which are critical, such as court documents and media articles. The only section that draws on less objective sources is the brief mention of the subject’s hobbies. However, I included this information because it adds texture to the article and is not of significant weight; in any case, hobbies are rarely documented by "neutral" or scholarly sources. --Amir Segev Sarusi (talk) 13:41, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
