[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Support - as nominator. reason for move is the correct name is settlement house. It would be appropriate to mention the movement in the "settlement house" article. --Tigereyes92 (talk) 02:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose. The settlement movement, as described in the article, appears to encompass more elements than the establishment of settlement houses. According to the article, it also included the establishment of Settlement schools in Appalachia (disclaimer: I added that info to the article) and institutions called just "setlment" in Russia. It's not a Wikipedia neologism; see http://www.greenwood.com/catalog/GR0756.aspx and http://www.amazon.com/Social-Work-Order-Settlement-Industrial/dp/0252017900 for examples of use of the word "Settlement Movement." A better idea would be to create a separate article about Settlement houses, instead of redirecting that term to Settlement movement. --Orlady (talk) 16:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

Perhaps settlement house movement? If your talking about the Jane Addams thing, I think settlement house is the name most people use--Dudeman5685 (talk) 15:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I have moved both the above discussion by Dudeman5685 and an oppose vote by Orlady from WP:RM to here... this is where they belong. Andrewa (talk) 08:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
