Page mover


User:PadFoot2008

Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am slightly concerned about the number of recent reverted moves. Primefac (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Primefac, concerning those two reverted moves, they were indeed mistakes on my part. In hindsight, I should have done a deeper study of the main article Gahadavala dynasty. I had decided to move some Indian monarch articles to be in par with the standard convention of "(name) of (kingdom)" (such as George II of Great Britain), and when I discovered the two articles (Madanapala (Gahadavala dynasty) and Govindachandra (Gahadavala dynasty)), I proceeded to have a quick look at the main article, where I saw the phrase "Gahadavalas of Kannauj", and after performing a quick search through the usages of "Govindachandra of Kannauj" in RS, I arrived at the conclusion that it would be a good move location. After the move was reverted, I dug deeper and read the main article more carefully and found out that the Gahadavalas do not actually appear to have ruled over the city of Kannauj but rather over Varanasi. I have since been more careful in performing such moves, and five monarch related article moves performed since seem good for now. PadFoot (talk) 11:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm writing to request this privileged role, despite being under the threshold for number of edits, given my demonstrated history of moving pages, particularly disambiguations and maintaining WP:MOS. The main reason being to move articles over others (i.e. redirects). Having this right would have eliminated creating an RfM discussion for something that was formally renamed, for instance, Sound Recorder (Windows) Thank you in advance.
