Changed "theorical" to "theoretical"
editSome dictionaries do still have "theorical" as a word, but its obsolete, and by many accounts not even a word. And the few definitions I CAN find show it to be an exact synonym of theoretical, so in this case I'm confident "theoretical" is preferable in every possible way to "theorical". Heck, it was probably just a typo to begin with; I doubt the person who wrote it even knew that "theorical" is 'sort of' a word. -Indalcecio (talk) 01:15, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

edit- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: WITHDRAWN. See discussion for details. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:47, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
Louis Lumière College → Louis-Lumière National Higher School – Current title is incorrect. Proposed title is the name of this institution in English; English article titles are preferred per WP:TITLE. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:42, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support as proposer. Note that I'm offering this proposal after declining a speedy deletion request to move this page over a redirect at École nationale supérieure Louis-Lumière, the institution's name in French. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:42, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- The page should be moved to École Nationale Supérieure Louis-Lumière, as it is known in both French and English publications. It is never referred to as Louis Lumière College or Louis-Lumière National Higher School. See École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne as an example. Malayy (talk) 01:21, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hm, that seems to be accurate. When first created from what looks like PR copy, it was called "ENS Louis Lumiere", which was changed shortly to "Louis Lumière College". The translation of École Nationale Supérieure to National Higher School came from an IP offering a "better translation of the school's name" but without providing any sources, or any rationale why such a translation was necessary in the first place. The school refers to itself in its own English materials by its French name, and as other schools in the ENS system seem to follow this convention and there isn't any prominent competing usage in other English sources, I don't see any reason to ignore that convention here.

- Withdrawn; I will proceed with the original speedy move request. @Malayy: thanks for your persistence and for putting up with my stubbornness. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:45, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
