Move to James Richard Dacres (1749–1810) edit

From Talk:James Richard Dacres (1788–1853)#Move to James Richard Dacres (1788–1853):

'The point of glosses (extra info in parentheses) in page names is to differentiate subjects with the same base name, not to describe them. Having the term "Royal Naval officer" in the title of this page in no way distinguishes it from the only other James Richard Dacres, since he was also a Royal Naval officer. From WP:PRECISION: Usually, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that.'

After two weeks, with no objections, I moved the other James Richard Dacres from James Richard Dacres (Royal Navy officer, born 1788) (now a redirect) to James Richard Dacres (1788–1853). If no one objects here, I'll soon do the equivalent move on this page, renaming James Richard Dacres (Royal Navy officer, born 1749) to James Richard Dacres (1749–1810). --A D Monroe III^(talk) 16:08, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
