The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle → The Gay Revolution – Per WP:SUBTITLE. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 03:02, 9 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Hhkohh (talk) 12:01, 9 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
How do you reconcile your position with our book-specific guideline, WP:SUBTITLE, which states:

Usually, a Wikipedia article on a book (or other medium, such as a movie, TV special or video game) does not include its subtitle in the Wikipedia page name, per WP:CONCISE. The only exception to that is short article titles, for disambiguation purposes.

Better is a discussion I have no idea what that means. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 18:37, 9 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Because this is a bold move. Also, WP:SUBTITLE is not a policy, just a guideline, see also WP:COMMONNAME and other related policy Hhkohh (talk) 09:56, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose cited guideline does not apply as disambiguation and long title are clearly beneficial to readers here, and in cases without (book) WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT works for short titles. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:26, 10 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

What is going on here? Why is this user not registered and operating from only one account rather than multiple IPs?

  4. (Discuss) – John Delaney (Maryland politician) → John K. Delaney – He appears to be using his middle initial more prominently; his Twitter account [1] and recent book (The Right Answer, ISBN 1250294967) both use his middle initial. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:04, 28 August 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

  5. (Discuss) – Dashti Yahudi → Dasht-e Yahudi – The correct transliteration of this name from Urdu is 'Dasht-e Yahudi'. The vowel after 'Dasht' is the Persian Ezafe which was inherited in Urdu. It should not be written as a single word, and the vocalization of 'e' is far more prevalent than 'i'. LissanX (talk) 03:17, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@In ictu oculi: There's only one IP address listed there so I'm not sure what you're on about regarding multiple IPs. And the only move requests that I made in that list are the ones from this IP address. I am not power~enwiki or LissanX, the former of whom I think I disagreed with in an RM recently. You will also note that the requests I made are all concerning articles about books with subtitles, unlike the others. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 22:45, 9 September 2018 (UTC) cc: TonyBallioniReply
