[edit] Amend something previously adopted

I see that Amend something previously adopted is redlinked at Motions that bring a question again before the assembly. Robert's says that the motion to rescind and the motion to amend something previously adopted are "two forms of one incidental main motion governed by identical rules" (pages 293-294, 10th edition.) It treats them together in one section. Both are mentioned in this article. Therefore, I am going to create "Amend something previously adopted" but make it a redirect to this article. Then we can decide whether the name of this article should be changed accordingly. I also am going to fix the link at List of motions. Neutron (talk) 15:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and we might change the name of this article to "Rescind or amend something previously adopted" or somesuch. Obuibo Mbstpo (talk) 16:03, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. I think it is ok to take the words "repeal" and "annul" out of the title but keep them in the text as alternative names for the same motion... which is exactly how Robert's handles it. Neutron (talk) 20:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Or we could even change it to Rescind, repeal, or annul or amend something previously adopted if that doesn't seem too redundant. Obuibo Mbstpo (talk) 21:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Seems a little too long. Neutron (talk) 01:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we saw with Wikipedia:Miscellaneous deletion/Wikipedia:Protocol Amending the Agreements that some users object to such titles. Obuibo Mbstpo (talk) 01:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
