James VI and I

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to James I of England, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Sorry if I acted precipitously. It was not my intention. I did look for guidance on this action, and could only find information effectively saying "just do it". I did give what I believe is a reasonable explanation for my action - that the monarch had more than one title, and that a search for James VI of Scotland should not really return James I of England, even if they are one and the same person. It would be more delicate to respect the fact that he was the monarch of two separate kingdoms with two separate titles, and for the article title to reflect that fact. Please note that I made no other change than to the title, and that searches for James I of England or for James VI of Scotland would both return James VI and I, which was his actual title. Anyway, sorry again for not having played by the rules, but I maintain serious consideration should be given the change I proposed, since it is not introducing any error, is more culturally sensitive and actually conforms to the spirit of the law as decided in the case of MacCormick v Lord Advocate 1953.
