- If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
editContested technical requests
edit- Nineveh Governorate → Ninawa Governorate (currently a redirect back to Nineveh Governorate) (move · discuss) – I'm seeking to revert a 13-year undiscussed page move that has now been contested because I do not believe Nineveh is currently a WP:COMMONNAME. It isn't even used by locals there. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 07:05, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Certainly not uncontroversial. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:31, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Princess Catherine Yurievskaya → Catherine Yurievskaya (currently a redirect back to Princess Catherine Yurievskaya) (move · discuss) – no titles in article names (WP:NCROY) Marnanel (talk) 00:11, 29 August 2025 (UTC), across redirect Marnanel (talk) 00:11, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. The naming convention is being incorrectly cited. See also Category:Daughters of Russian emperors. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:29, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Kenya → Federation of Women Lawyers (move · discuss) – disambiguation not needed. 2A02:C7C:4D0A:A500:D166:DA64:AC83:4F4B (talk) 09:44, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- The current article title definitely needs to be fixed, but I'm seeing several different spellings of the group's name in various sources, such as FIDA Kenya, Fida Kenya, and Fida-Kenya. The article is also unclear on whether they are affiliated with International Federation of Women Lawyers which uses the Spanish acronym "FIDA", though they probably are affiliated. This request may cause confusion with the article for the international group; see also All India Federation of Women Lawyers. The title of this article should probably be Federation of Women Lawyers - Kenya though I'm not sure if that's optimal. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:14, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- This is likely to need a full move discussion. Some of these groups may be affiliated with the International Federation of Women Lawyers and some may not. Anyway I don't see the rationale for omitting the word 'Kenya' from the article title. The group in Kenya is clearly not the only Federation of Women Lawyers in the world.
