The result of the move request was: no consensus. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 01:10, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Modern era → Modern period – Should be renamed to ether Modern period to be consistent with Early modern period and Late modern period. Also consider Modern history. Interstellarity ( talk) 01:23, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus. Editors disagree over what topic is the common name, and what title is consistent. After two relists there is no consensus to be found here, although I find the arguments against as presented by Amakuru slightly stronger.
Editors interested in resolving this problem may find it beneficial to pursue Peter's suggestion. ( closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal ( talk) 03:15, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Modern era → Modern history – I believe that this article should be moved to Modern history to be consistent with other titles such as Ancient history and Post-classical history. The ngrams show that modern history has been used throughout the last two hundred years while it looks like that both Modern period and Modern era only gained popularity only recently and all three terms seem to be about the same now. I would suggest moving to modern history for historical purposes.

I've restructured this article and significantly trimmed it. Lots of material was simply copied inline without structure and also with careless reference management. The article is substantially smaller, but always references the main article for the given topic. My changes were motivated by maintenacne concerns, but also by worry for recency bias. While the George Floyd problem is part of a big trend in the US, it doesn't deserve six paragraphs here when the 9/11 attacks (and other attacks around the world) received only a mention in a single sentence.
Copied text remains, and probably should be converted to transclusion. -- Mikeblas ( talk) 14:24, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
I've tagged this article with {{ Globalize}} because it represents an almost exclusively US-centeric view and description of the modern era. -- Mikeblas ( talk) 14:23, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
I've raised the problems in this and the related articles early modern period, late modern period and modernity in Wikiproject History. Thread can be found here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject History#Modernity articles are a hot mess
I recommend a joint discussion for all these articles since they seem to suffer from very similar issues. Peter Isotalo 13:53, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
