Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Haplogroup E-M215 (Y-DNA) (currently a redirect to Haplogroup E-M215) → Haplogroup E-M215 (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT, removal of unneccessary parentheses/disambiguator. Daniel Power of God (talk) 21:09, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Aldol reaction → Aldol Addition (move · discuss) – Confusion. Aldol reaction (singular) refers to Aldol additions in English. While in other languages its referring to the general set of reactions. So for German Wikipedian chemists (which is fairly common within Wikipedia chemistry) it caused some confusion. The majority of the page is about aldol addition, but there were some sections about the overall pair of reaction which have since been moved to Aldol reactions. I've done the necessary redirect cleanup work to make the rename possible. LoomCreek (talk) 23:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Annin tofu (currently a redirect to Almond tofu) → Almond tofu (move · discuss) – WP:ENG, also previously undiscussed move NM 23:27, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
