[edit] Article renaming (historical)

This article was moved/renamed from "Active faults" to "Active fault". The vote on it lasted only for 2 hours 16 minutes. Then an administrator moved the page, probably because the vote result would have been self-evident. If you have something against the new title, you can propose moving the page again in Wikipedia:Requested moves. But you must have really good reasons because Wikipedia article names are usually in singular form. Below is the original vote:

Prefer singular nouns. I propose the move on the ground of this Wikipedia naming convention. -Hapsiainen 19:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Support, certainly. -Hapsiainen 19:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
Surely we can simply move this information on the definition of what is an active geologic fault to the article which discusses what a geologic fault is? Or do we also need an article on wikipedia which is inactive fault?Rolinator 09:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Active faultGeologic fault — As said on the talk, the info on this page is merely a little addendum to that found on Geologic fault and the existence of Actie fault would be redundant if the page was moved/merged there. Rolinator 09:37, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Add "* Support" or "* Oppose" followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~

  • Oppose. This is really a merge request that the requestor can do on their own. Just move any data that is not in the target article and replace Active fault with a redirect. Or am I missing something? Vegaswikian 07:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

  • No consensus to move. —Mets501 (talk) 16:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
