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.

  • If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
  • Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
  • If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.
  • 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: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason: 
    {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
    This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
  • 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.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a recent move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
This may require some thought on the definition of "coup d'état" and whether it implies a change in government. If so, neither this 2003 incident nor the similar 1995 incident led to a change in the government of São Tomé and Príncipe so perhaps they were both merely "attempted" coups. However, in both cases the coup plotters briefly took over, received some concessions, then handed power back to the legitimate government. Is that a temporarily successful coup d'état? Frequent use of the word "attempt" at the main Coup d'état article makes this more confusing than it might seem at first glance. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:15, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It occurred to me just now that I haven't rewritten the Wikipedia article. The sources cited, and scholarly sources I have read, do describe it universally as a coup and not a coup attempt (i.e. based on reliable sources it is a coup, regardless of editors' interpretations). But until I do a cleanup, rewrite, and expansion like I did with the 1995 article, the only thing other editors have is my word. I am fine with withdrawing the request now and doing a requested move later after my revamp of the article. Yue🌙 00:00, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Socialwave597 Based on the previous RM that was closed due to sock activity, I am going to recommend another discussion as that is also what the closer recommended at that time. Multiple editors have also appeared to disagree over the title, so a BOLD move would likely be reverted. ASUKITE 15:30, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean "another discussion"? Pretty frustrating that this RM was derailed because of some sock from a very long time ago. Socialwave597 (talk) 04:56, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Magherbin @Srnec, I see both of you have changed the title around a year ago, since @Asukite believes there is a possibility that this RM would get reverted, would you two have any objections to this being the name of the article? Socialwave597 (talk) 00:16, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Elviajero based on the recent message at Talk:Saurashtra script, I am going to recommend a discussion as it appears somebody disagreed with the spelling, meaning a move here will simply get reverted. We are only here to process uncontroversial moves, we cannot settle disputes. ASUKITE 15:45, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@KingArti: Hey there! I took a look at your draft and noticed that around 51% of the content appears to be a copyright violation — sourced from this forum page. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fully access the site due to a block on my end, but I’ve already requested a CV-deletion for the affected version.
Once you’ve made the necessary changes, please consider resubmitting your draft through Articles for Creation. I’ll make sure to review it promptly once it’s submitted. Thanks! — --Warm Regards, Abhimanyu7  talk  06:38, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abhiimanyu7: This was not a copyright violation of that forum post, which was explicitly quoting what "wikipedia said" and therefore is not the original author. Rather, this was copied from The Fantastic Four: First Steps#Music and should have simply been given attribution in a dummy edit per Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. @Nthep: I believe this revdel should be reversed.
@KingArti: You should have just posted your new version of the article again at The Fantastic Four: First Steps (soundtrack) rather than posting a new draft and immediately asking for it to be moved onto the previous one. In any event, you must give attribution when copying content from one article to another. ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 16:42, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@SilverLocust revdel undone. Nthep (talk) 16:52, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
