Well a simple question around a complex matter: now that since 2019 SES (the UK master organisation, branches always had less 'Economy' flavour names) is known as SPES, it's time that Wikipedia follows suit. I plan to do the renaming but in an as minimal as possible way, no need to touch the many discussion areas around a movement like this and hence also its wiki: 1) Normal Wikipedia 'move' to School of Philosophy and Economic Science'. And of course different first sentences, something like 'Was know as School of Economic Science from xxx to 2019'. 2) It should automatically create a redirect page for those searching under the old name to the new one. 3) In the text as much as possible replace 'SES' abbreviation by 'School'. This seems safest, as talking about SPES in many stories about the past does not really make sense but neither does talking about SES for current and future situation.
Comments welcome, planned execution depending on sunny vs rainy days 'within next 2 weeks'. Erikdr ( talk) 19:04, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
Some things went wrong 1st round, sorry. Will proceed in bits and pieces. Erikdr ( talk) 19:03, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, Robert. Yes I am very much aware of the debates about what SPES should be categorised as, but I only changed SES to 'School' or 'the School' on places where before it was depicted as SES, which already is its own name and not something neutral as organization/organisation. But anyhow I don't want to spend too much time in this, as long as people can find what they look for it's good enough. Do note however that the name change seems to be more than just PR; https://schoolofphilosophy.org/pages/timeline definitely mentions "The Fellowship votes to alter the Objects, changing the name of the School to the School of Philosophy and Economic Science". Actually a name which is far more in line with the name in other countries than SES. So to me it more looks that the fact that the legal name is not changed (yet) has technical/cost reasons. Thanks again, Erikdr ( talk) 18:16, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
