It says in the article it had a design life of 6 years and began in 2002, so I'm guessing they made something to supercede it. --[[User:IdLoveOne|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#727A96;">I'ḏ</fontspan>]][[User_talk:IdLoveOne|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#FF4C52;">'''♥'''</fontspan>]][[User:IdLoveOne|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#4F5DFF;">One</fontspan>]] 05:02, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

{{ping|Tony1}} If an article were to be created for the relevant type of spectroradiometry, then I would be more swayed by your move rationale. While itthe current title is in-linenow apparently consistent with Wikipedia's style, I'm not certain this is actually aintended to be descriptive title; it may simply beis the name of the instrument. This is especially pronounced upon examining the information page [http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/ here]. It reads "Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer" with capital letters starting each word, and curiously, it also neglects the hyphen. Is this worth discussing? [[User:Dustin V. S.|<span style="color:green; font-family:Times New Roman">''Dustin''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Dustin V. S.|(<span style="color:green; font-family:Times New Roman">talk</span>)]] 17:12, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|Dustin V. S.}} Do you mean the way some scientists/organisations cap every type of spectroscopy? Methinks it's in the mistaken belief that because they're typically expressed with capped initialism, those letters should be capped in the expanded forms (against the advice of the major style guides, and en.WP's). But here, perhaps your point is that this is a specific instrument developed by NASA (which suffers from serious cap-disease—every nut and bolt seems to be capped in their world). If there were more than one of these MODIS's, there'd be no doubt: generic and downcased. If it's the only one, I wonder whether it embraces a measurement phenomenon (moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometry)? If so, that phenomenon could presumably be the basis of other devices. Sometimes there's a grey area where a commercial product ''becomes'' generic (hoovering the carpet; googling). Generally, the trend is to minimise upcasing (according to CMOS and Oxford), although they're not uber-specific about that. Pleased to hear your opinions.

{{ping|Dustin V. S.|Tony1}} The official name is "Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer" according to NASA: [https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/]. Furthermore, this article is about a specific sensor instance, not a generic type of sensor. Can we agree to rename the article? [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 16:07, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
::OK, unwillingly. I have little respect for the default capping boosterism of NASA and the US military. But I concede that most usage is capped. [[User:Tony1|<b style="color:darkgreen">Tony</b>]] [[User talk:Tony1|<span style="color:darkgreen">(talk)</span>]] 04:06, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Tony1|Fgnievinski|Master of Time}} In my patrols of [[:Category:Unsynchronized talk page redirects]] 99% of unsynchronized moves are when someone moves the article without moving the talk page. Here I've found the outlier where the talk page was moved but the article was not. – [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 21:23, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Wbm1058|Fgnievinski|Master of Time}}—How did ''that'' happen? I've just tried to reinstate the previous article title (so it's consistent with my reinstatement of what apparently worked for only the talkpage). Unsuccessful. Does anyone know how to do this?

:::::I wasn't pinged until someone linked my current username, but I don't know how that could have happened. Worst comes to worst, go to RM, I suppose.

{{outdent|5}} The move log shows:
* 09:25, 26 December 2015 {{U|Tony1}} moved page {{no redirect|Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer}} to {{no redirect|Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer}} (It's a form of spectroradiometry—generic, even if a special one has been built)
* 09:25, 26 December 2015 {{U|Tony1}} moved page {{no redirect|Talk:Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer}} to {{no redirect|Talk:Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer}} (It's a form of spectroradiometry—generic, even if a special one has been built)
* 04:07, 7 April 2018 {{U|Tony1}} moved page {{no redirect|Talk:Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer}} to {{no redirect|Talk:Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer}} (Reinstate unwillingly. See talkpage.)
Just to clarify, the 7 April 2018 move did not just revert back to the 26 December 2015 capped (proper name) title; it also removed the hyphen. Is that the intent? [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 09:34, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 
The reason {{U|Tony1}} was able to move the talk page but not the article is that {{no redirect|Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer}} has history from previous moves and double-redirect fixing. Thus an administrator is needed to make the move (unless you make page-mover swaps that I'm generally not keen on). I can do this, so there's no need to take it to [[WP:RM#TR]].
* 01:20, 29 May 2007 {{U|Whosasking}} moved page {{no redirect|MODIS}} to {{no redirect|Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer}} (expanded acronym)
The talk page wasn't started until [[special:diff/136970522|June 2007]] so doesn't have that page-move history. – [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 09:56, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
**Not having the hyphen is pretty trashy, but the case is that NASA's formatting be used; it doesn't have a hyphen. [[User:Tony1|<b style="color:darkgreen">Tony</b>]] [[User talk:Tony1|<span style="color:darkgreen">(talk)</span>]] 14:08, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
{{done}} Page moved to [[Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer]], and the article and talk pages are back in sync. [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 16:03, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
