 | On 13 October 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved from May offensive to May Offensive. The result of the discussion was moved. |
Yes Wa Po is fine, User:Mztourist. I used the edit note I did, for a reason. The content in that paragraph was already well-sourced by the ref at the end. I won't re-revert, but if you want to support this WP:REFSPAM campaign for columns at washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis, that is your deal. Jytdog ( talk) 12:08, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- I was neutral about the ref being added, thinking it was a valid ref to a related and somewhat interesting story, so see no need to delete it. Have no comments on REFSPAM. Mztourist ( talk) 06:07, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- 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: moved. Apparent consensus for a move to "May Offensive" without a parenthetical. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Jack Frost ( talk) 00:47, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
May offensive → May Offensive – Obvious, as in Tet Offensive and every other offensive/battle/campaign/etc. 5.173.41.12 ( talk) 19:15, 13 October 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi! ( 投稿) 20:35, 20 October 2022 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 09:52, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- No great opinion on the O. But at this remove since 1968 I'm wondering if May offensive (Vietnam War) might not be more helpful. Who under 70 is going to know that this is Vietnam War article? In ictu oculi ( talk) 07:16, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- That's a fair point. Mztourist ( talk) 09:03, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Relisting comment: Additional qualifier also suggested. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi! ( 投稿) 20:35, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment use "Vietnam War", and add a set index for campaigning in May at the current location -- 65.92.244.114 ( talk) 10:01, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment agree that it needs a disambiguator, as "May offensive" is a very generic name (I am under 70 :) Natg 19 ( talk) 22:14, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Support move to May Offensive. But why would we use a disambiguator when there's no other "May Offensives" with which this could be confused? As far as I understand, parentheticals in the page title are only for the purpose of disambiguation. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 14:49, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Weak support for "offensive" → "Offensive" after looking at sources and other Vietnam War offensives on Wikipedia – they're very mixed with a slight lean toward capitalized. Oppose adding a disambiguator. Even if there was another May Offensive with a Wikipedia article, this would almost surely be primary and be at the base name with a hat note (see Battle of Verdun for what WP tends to do in that case and October Revolution for an example with a month in the title). To decide to add "(Vietnam War)" would be a much larger discussion than a single MR, in my opinion. Skynxnex ( talk) 23:38, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support May Offensive per nom and oppose a parenthetical per User:Arbitrarily0. — AjaxSmack 23:54, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
