[edit]Uncontroversial technical requests
[edit]- 1950 Aeroflot Il-12 crash → 1950 Karaganda Il-12 crash (currently a redirect back to 1950 Aeroflot Il-12 crash) (move · discuss) – Due to Aeroflot (and Ilyushin for that matter) having too many Wikipedia-notable crashes throughout the history of the USSR, a concise and precise title would have to be location-based instead of company or aircraft brand-based; also was previous title DemocracyDeprivationDisorder (talk) 08:42, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Aviationwikiflight, since you originally moved this a year ago, are you okay with this? I think the proposed title is sensible, but as RM/TR is for uncontroversial requests, if there are any objections we have to talk it out in an RM. Toadspike [Talk] 12:31, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- I wouldn't oppose moving away from the current title since I agree it's too ambiguous, but I'd lean towards including the full name of the aircraft (Ilyushin Il-12) in the proposed title if that's ok. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 15:36, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- Draft:BAF Shaheen College Kurmitola → BAF Shaheen College Kurmitola (currently a redirect instead to BAF Shaheen Colleges#BAF Shaheen College Kurmitola) (move · discuss) – Move to mainspace; the draft is complete, properly sourced, and meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. 0ximjub43r (talk) 09:14, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

- 8th Mizoram Legislative Assembly → 8th Mizoram Assembly (currently a redirect back to 8th Mizoram Legislative Assembly) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT with all other articles of state assembly terms. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 14:50, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- The current title matches Mizoram Legislative Assembly; It's the other ones that should be moved. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:36, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- Paraona bicolor → Eilema bicolor (move · discuss) – Updated taxonomy in accordance with Volynkin, 2024 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/381113072_On_the_taxonomy_of_the_Oriental_genus_Paraona_Moore_with_descriptions_of_a_new_genus_a_new_species_and_introduction_of_new_synonymies_Lepidoptera_Erebidae_Arctiinae_Lithosiini TheLivingDanish1 (talk) 19:55, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
- Why does Eilema bicolor currently redirect to a different species? * Pppery * it has begun... 18:13, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- There are two different species. One is from North America and was described by Grote in 1864, the other is from Madagascar and was described by Toulgoët in 1968. The current circumscription of Eilema restricts it the Old World, but under the rules of zoological nomenclature, Toulgoët's species will need a new specific epithet if it is placed in Eilema. I'm really surprised that somebody publishing in 2024 failed to check whether they were creating a homonym. The linked reference says "The species is herein tentatively placed in the genus Eilema, to which the majority of the Madagascan Lithosiini is still associated, until the generic revision of the Madagascan footman moths is published (Volynkin, in prep.)." Hopefully Volynkin will fix the homonym in his upcoming publication. For now, I'd suggest making Eilema bicolor into a disambiguation page. Plantdrew (talk) 17:00, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- Plantdrew always knows what he's talking about and has clarified things for me many times. If he supports it. I support it. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 22:20, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

- West Bengal Cuisine (currently a redirect to West Bengal cuisine) → Cuisine of West Bengal (currently a redirect instead to West Bengal cuisine) (move · discuss) – Consistent with first sentence:
The cuisine of West Bengal encompasses the cooking styles, traditions, and recipes associated with the modern Indian state of West Bengal.
No capital 'C' in 'cuisine', because it is not a proper name. NLeeuw (talk) 13:36, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Nederlandse Leeuw It appears that "State cuisine" is a lot more common looking at Category:Indian cuisine by state or union territory, so probably the first sentence should be updated instead, agree on the capitalization of cuisine though. Or maybe "West Bengali cuisine" in line with the parent article Bengali cuisine - also note there's an eponymous category - Category:West Bengal cuisine that should probably stay in sync if there's a change to the article title.

- List of recipients of the Paralympic Order → Paralympic Order (currently a redirect instead to Paralympic symbols#Paralympic Order) (move · discuss) – Better (wider) scope – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:21, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Finnusertop It is currently a list article of recipients, so the current title seems appropriate in line with WP:NCLIST - are you planning to change the scope of the article to actually explain the Paralympic Order award in greater detail and transform the article from the list article that it currently is?

- Formally contested as unintelligble by Pppery. IP had requested this with a move to Biswajeet Chatterjee, which has since been done. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:18, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- Shriram Lagoo → Shreeram Lagoo (currently a redirect instead to Shriram Lagoo) (move · discuss) – The name of his spelling is officially Shreeram and not Shriram.

- It looks like this has previously been contested and someone meant to open an RM but didn't. I will open one so that it can be discussed. Toadspike [Talk] 13:11, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
