Hello everyone, Physical distancing is increasingly substituting the old term due to increasing concerns of the inevitable consequences including psychiatric conditions The Mental Health Consequences of COVID-19 and Physical Distancing: The Need for Prevention and Early Intervention. However, this is the only way I know to switch the pages. Please guide me if there is a better way or proceed with your own way. I appreciate you taking the time to correct it Behzad Azarmju M.D. (talk) 23:13, 15 April 2020 (UTC).Reply

You have edited disruptively against consensus. Please see Talk:Social distancing#Requested move 23 March 2020. Peaceray (talk) 23:46, 15 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Fortunately, wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a support group, so it is irrelevant for our purposes whether calling the concept by a different name may have mental health consequences (more than the isolation itself?). The correct way to change the title of an article is to file a move request. Natureium (talk) 00:27, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Technically isolation, separation, or distancing to prevent transmission of infections are physical not social occurences in nature. However, they can necessitate some social isolation[Mdr 1] which has attenuated with the novel communication technologies as well as deprivation from physical contact benefits[Mdr 2]. Applying the term "social distancing" for this purpose is simply incorrect[Mdr 3] and many times implys the "social isolation"[Mdr 4].Also, I would like to draw your attention to some of the main world references (WHO and englophone governments):[Mdr 5][Mdr 6][Mdr 7][Mdr 8][Mdr 9][Mdr 10][Mdr 11] Behzad Azarmju M.D. (talk) 07:34, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Behzad Azarmju M.D.: This is an ineffective place to have this discussion. Perhaps as few as three editors have seen it. The place to have this discussion is at Talk:Social distancing. As of 16 April 2020, there were 95 editors who have made coments & 107 who are watching. You may open a new discussion there.
As I have already mentioned, there is an archived discussion at Talk:Social distancing#Requested move 23 March 2020. Please review that. Do not make any changes there, as it is archived. Again the proper thing to do is to open a new discussion using the talk page guidelines.
