Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place. If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself. If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

• Baiounitai → Baiunitae (currently a redirect back to Baiounitai) (move · discuss) – To conform to Western spelling and naming conventions from Latin Edion Petriti (talk) 11:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Who is actually contesting this, and why? -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:56, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • User:Cplakidas, [1], on the ground that the move is "undiscussed and ill-informed: the tribe is mentioned almost solely in Greek primary sources, and Baiounitai is the transliteration of that". Edion Petriti (talk) 13:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • There is no difference between the two in terms of "Western spelling" (whatever that might be), and this is the English, not the Latin, Wikipedia. The name of this tribe is found in Greek primary sources, and the transliteration of the Greek name is "Baiounitai". "Baiunitae" would, indeed, be the Latin rendering of the Greek name, but that has no relevance here. The Latin term is used mostly in 19th-century documents, more recent studies use either the transliterated Greek name or a variety of anglicizations (covered in a footnote in the article). Since no common form exists, the transliteration of the name as used in the primary sources is the only valid option. Constantine ✍ 14:08, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
