Changing the name of an article.
Hello
I posted this question as a reply to you on a previous thread, but because I don't understand how notifications work, I'm putting it again here, so you will definitely see it! Not being scatty, just doing belt and braces!
So, the question is about this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Fraser
How would I go about moving the article? I think it would it make sense to call it "Hannah Mermaid", or "Hannah Fraser aka Hannah Mermaid" - or something else. That's her stage name and it is really more accurate to go with that. Do I need to get agreement from other editors? The thing is, realistically she is far better known as Hannah Mermaid to the wider public.
She is also listed on other pages in Wikipedia by the name Hannah Mermaid.
Thanks!

- @Mattwingett: Sorry, been busy! In this instance simply moving the page to "Hannah Mermaid" would be the best thing to do. We usually go for the common name of a person or thing which seems to be the stagename here. Try to avoid using "AKA", it isn't encyclopedic. — foxj 18:26, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and moved it now. — foxj 18:27, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Bad Milk
 | On 2 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bad Milk, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Bad Milk, developed by two brothers in their apartments in Queens, New York, won the grand prize at the 2002 Independent Games Festival? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bad Milk. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Do you want one Edit tab, or two? It's your choice
The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.
You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.
There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Yes, what you brought to AFD was a poor stub, and I'm sorry you were "struggling" to find sources in your BEFORE, but I had better luck. The 645 characters (119 words) stub you nominated is now a 3143 characters (519 words) start or C-class... over a 4x expansion and now well sourced. Heck, I even found Variety review of its festival screening. Care to revisit? Schmidt, Michael Q. 23:24, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- @MichaelQSchmidt: Speedy closed. I did look for sources before I nominated, and all I was coming up with was iMDB... but I'll happily bow to your superior Google-fu. ;) — foxj 00:59, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you much.
Schmidt, Michael Q. 02:10, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- @MichaelQSchmidt: Relatedly, think the article should be moved? Which is the common title? (I imagine the current one is the best-known, but worth asking.) — foxj 14:12, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- I had thought about that situation, and agree that best title is the current one. While it received attention under its festival title, once Disney got involved fr DVD distribution, it was given a cutesy title. I went ahead and created redirects from The Solid Ones and the alt A Girl, 3 Guys and a Gun. Schmidt, Michael Q. 03:40, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
