2012 comment edit

This camp is called Campo di Fossoli, not Fossoli di Carpi. I don't know how to change that. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 18:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Fossoli di CarpiFossoli camp – To improve precision in the article title, per WP:PRECISION. The camp's history went well beyond WWII and it was used as a POW camp, concentration & transit camp and refuge camp at various stages, so naming it Fossoli concentration camp or Fossoli transit camp is probably focusing to much on one specific period of its existence. The Italian Wikipedia, for example, uses Campo di Fossoli and, per WP:TRANSLITERATE, Fossoli camp is the direct translation of this. Turismond (talk) 04:02, 10 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per nom; the current title looks like error or at least a conflation with nearby Fossoli, "an Italian village and hamlet (frazione) of Carpi". No such user (talk) 11:29, 10 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nom, needs greater precision. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 12:52, 10 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment : Turismond, if you don't anticipate controversy, you can just move the page without going through the requested moves process. See Wikipedia:Moving a page. Catrìona (talk) 13:10, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • I figured requested move was a good way to possibly get a few good ideas on the article name as I was unsure myself what exactly would be the best name, given that the camp served such a large number of purposes. The same process at Palazzo Cesi-Gaddi war crimes archive archived a good result where User:In ictu oculi came up with a suitable article name that I never thought of myself. I'm happy to wait out the required 7 days. Turismond (talk) 13:40, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
