If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

  • To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

    {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}

    This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
  • If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
  • 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. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

  • Sinomeganeura (currently a redirect to Oligotypus)  Oligotypus (move · discuss) – Synonymized according to Li et al. (2013).[1] Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The fact that one source says something doesn't make it an unquestionable fact. Has this synonymization been accepted by most relevant authorities? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:33, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Chen et al. (2021),[2] Wang et al. (2022)[3] Nel et al. (2024)[4] also lists that species as Oligotypus. Especially, Dong Ren is author of original description as Sinomeganeura[5] but agrees synonymize. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 14:54, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cryptomartus hindi (currently a redirect to Anthracomartus)  Anthracomartus (move · discuss) – Synonymized according to Garwood and Dunlop (2011).[6] Probably enough to be genus article. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The fact that one source says something doesn't make it an unquestionable fact. Has this synonymization been accepted by most relevant authorities? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:33, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hyžný et al. (2013) lists species hindi as a species of Anthracomartus.[7] Dunlop et al. (2020) shows Cryptomartus is synonym of Anthracomartus[8]. Those all papers have Jason A. Dunlop as author or coauthor, since he is one of the expert fossil arachnid researcher, I am not sure that authors other than Dunlop agrees that, but searching in Google Scholar after 2020 shows, 8 results for "Anthracomartus" while 0 results for "Cryptomartus".

  • Livvy (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to Olivia (name))  Livvy (currently a redirect instead to Olivia (name)) (move · discuss) – Self-evident. (FYI, for some reason, another editor had redirected Livvy to Olivia (name).) Clarityfiend (talk) 20:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Everything on the disambiguation page is related to women named Olivia. The current redirect makes sense, and the Livvy (disambiguation) page should be merged. 162 etc. (talk) 04:31, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Marina Oliver is an Olivia? Clarityfiend (talk) 21:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Livvy West probably is. That whole article has a tragic lack of cited sources. 162 etc. (talk) 21:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • What are you talking about? Livvy West is a pen name. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:08, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I've read the article. I've added a mergeto tag. WP:RMT is not the place for this discussion. 162 etc. (talk) 19:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
