== Requested move 16 April 2019 ==

The result of the move request was: '''Move to {{no redirect|Fixed-field alternating gradient accelerator}}'''. The page was first moved to "Fixed-Field alternating gradient Accelerator" after consensus was reached, then moved again to regularize the capitalization.

[[:FFAG accelerator]] → {{no redirect|Fixed Field Accelerator}} – The naming convention for these accelerators has been changed from FFAG to FFA. The wikipedia page name should reflect this. See https://twitter.com/davidkelliher/status/1113746714328956928 for a reference in a recent accelerator physics textbook reflecting this new convention.

*'''Move to {{no redirect|Fixed-field alternating gradient accelerator}}''': Please note the lowercase letters. The article has been moved to "Fixed-Field alternating gradient Accelerator". That is not a good name. Wikipedia does not use capitalization for hinting at abbreviations. How is this referred to in independent reliable sources? —[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 12:47, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

:*I support the move to all lowercase (after the first word), as is wikipedia custom. Sorry for the initial mixed-case suggestion. [[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] I think much of the original move rationale is based on the links above. Not sure what more you're looking for in terms of "independent reliable sources"; in this case the current usage of practitioners in the field (such as the workshop and newsletter linked above) seem like the most relevant factor. -- [[User:Kronhjorten|Kronhjorten]] ([[User talk:Kronhjorten|talk]]) 20:07, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
