== Commenting on a requested move == {{shortcut|WP:RMCOMMENT}} All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. There are a number of standards that Wikipedians should practice in such discussions: * When editors recommend a course of action, they write '''Support''' or '''Oppose''' in bold text, which is done by surrounding the word with three single quotes on each side, e.g. {{code|<nowiki>'''Support'''</nowiki>}}. * Comments or recommendations are added on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *) and signed by adding {{code|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>}} to the end. Responses to another editor are [[Help:Talk pages#Indentation|threaded and indented]] using multiple bullets. * The article itself should be reviewed before any recommendation is made; do not base recommendations solely on the information supplied by other editors. It may also help to look at the article's edit history. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior move requests. They may contain relevant arguments and useful information. * Vested interests in the article should be disclosed per {{Section link|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI}}. When participating, please consider the following: * Editors should make themselves familiar with the article titling policy at [[Wikipedia:Article titles]]. * Other important guidelines that set forth community norms for article titles include [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation]], specific naming conventions, and [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|the manual of style]]. * The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations that are not sustained by arguments. * Explain ''how'' the proposed article title meets or contravenes policy and guidelines rather than merely stating that it does so. * {{anchor|nom|Nom}}Nomination already implies that the nominator supports the name change, and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line.{{efn|A nominator making a procedural nomination with which they may not agree is free to add a bulleted line explaining their actual position. Additional detail, such as sources, may also be provided in an additional bullet point if its inclusion in the nomination statement would make the statement unwieldy. Please remember that the entire nomination statement appears on the list on this page.}} * Do not make conflicting recommendations. If you change your mind, use strike-through to retract your previous statement by enclosing it between <nowiki><s></nowiki> and <nowiki></s></nowiki> after the bullets, and de-bold the struck words, as in "β’ <s>Support</s> '''Oppose'''". Please remember that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but that arguments based in policy, guidelines, and evidence have more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers an argument that does not explain how the move request is consistent with policies and guidelines, a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion may be useful. On the other hand, a pattern of responding to requests with groundless opinion, [[proof by assertion]], and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider using a [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]] process.
