Talk:St Petersburg Bede

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Anglo-Saxon Studies, this is invariably called the Leningrad Bede, and then, after 1989, the St. Peterburg Bede. I've worked with it a fair bit professionally, and have never heard it called the "Leningrad manuscript".~~

I agree, this should be at either Leningrad Bede or St. Peterburg Bede. My preference would be for Leningrad since that is the name that people would encounter in the majority of the works out there, however I would be just as happy with St. Petersburg (redirects are cheap). If no one objects in the next few days we can make this move. (By the way, you need at least three "~" to sign your name.) Dsmdgold 03:07, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Oops. I didn't know that one had to wait and made the change. I can change it back if necessary. dpod

When renaming articles, use the "Move" tab, it will preserve the article edit history and automatically create redirects from the old name. -- Stbalbach 03:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

You don't have to wait, but when something comes up on the talk page, my practice is to wait a little while before instituting changes,as a courtesy, so that the original editor can make his or her opinions known. Other editors have different approaches. Dsmdgold 13:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

As the one who created the article at the old title, the move is fine with me. I'm glad to see the sad little stub I started has grown and improved so much. Everyking 14:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move

Because the page was moved manually, and not by using the "Move" tab, it will now require an admin to intervene and try and sort it out. I will place a move request with an admin. Please do not move pages manually! See instructions on how to rename pages. Thank You. -- Stbalbach 16:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm an admin and I've moved it. Dsmdgold 16:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh thanks, that was quick. Had me confused for a second /:) -- Stbalbach 16:21, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
