Requested move 29 September 2018 edit
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Moved - as BD2412 has noted, there doesn't appear to be a reason not to move this and as two weeks have now been given for dissent and nobody's come forward I'm opting to move instead of relist ad infinitum. Of course, if anybody subsequently objects, no prejudice against a speedy renomination to change it back. (closed by non-admin page mover) SITH (talk) 16:10, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
