Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Page moved per request, apparently from staff of the museum. The only source in the article is the external link to the official page of the museum, which gives "MoCADA" as first name. Technically the User:MoCADA account doesn't comply with all Wikipedia guidelines. But it would be bureaucratic and boring to deny the reasonable request to move this article to its proper name, due only to the request being imperfectly presented.. --doncram 06:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC) doncram 06:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts → MoCADA — This page should be called MoCADA as The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art is commonly known more by its acronym MoCADA. This is a request from personnel of MoCADA who would like this move made immediately but cannot access the move page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by MoCADA (talk • contribs) 20:05, 15 March 2011

Comment: I added the unsigned template above so it wouldn't list the move under "time could not be ascertained" -France3470 (talk) 23:52, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

• Comment: I've created a redirect from MoCADA, as well as MOCADA, so that anyone using just the acronym will be able to easily find this article. Acronyms are usually not used for article titles unless they are almost exclusively referred to that way by reliable third party sources (see WP:Manual of Style (abbreviations)#Acronyms and initialisms in page titles).
