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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Move. No opposition. One participant prefers specific dates in the title, but only one, another prefers the alternative "Prelude of ...", but again only one, but, among those weighing in about this specific proposal, there is unanimous consensus to move, so the proposed title is it.

Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine: PreludeTimeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (prelude) – Lowercase "prelude" per article titles policy; use parentheses for consistency with other parts of the timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Alternatively, Timeline of the prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine would also work (and match the lead and Prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine), but I think the argument for consistency is stronger.

  • Post-close comment. @Born2cycle: I'd rather you had just relisted this, although maybe this was also on me for not noticing that the earlier comments were some time ago and the close / relist period was coming up. I don't think your close is a particularly accurate characterization of my comment, which expressed no opinion on the matter. Anyway, @Tol, Tim O'Doherty, and Yeoutie: any comment on my alternate suggestion? Any opposition to a bold move to the alternate option, which hopefully also addresses complaints about the previous title? I'd also be fine with a bold merge into the next Timeline section, given how short this article is, and moving that article from (24 February – 7 April 2022) to (2021 – 7 April 2022).

    If the nom and the supporters in the RM express support for your alternative suggestion, I would agree a bold move to it is in order. Sorry about the mischaracterization. I’ll change it. —В²C 23:01, 30 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
    I don't think a merge would be in order, given that Russia actually invaded on 24 February, and drawing a line there seems rather appropriate as the situation fundamentally changed at that point. A date-based system would be more consistent with the other articles, but it wasn't an actual "invasion" yet during this time, so it may also be important to not word the title to imply otherwise. Overall, I'm ambivalent as to which title is best. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 12:20, 1 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (prelude)Timeline of the prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine – More natural. It's better that we use a title without parentheses or colons, and has better consistency with Prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Logically, it makes more sense, since this isn't a subset of the invasion itself, but the prelude to it. This was one of the options proposed in the last RM, and it was actually the most supported option, but weirdly the close didn't reflect that. HappyWith (talk) 13:28, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Support as it sounds sensible and consistent with another related article. Killuminator (talk) 10:25, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
