If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.
If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the
mainspace, please submit it for review at
Articles for creation, by adding the code {{
subst:submit}} to the top of the
draft or
user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
Because you are
autoconfirmed, you can
move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of
Wikipedia:Requested moves.
To list a technical request: the
Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
{{
subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the
Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider
pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply,
create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.
The same suggestion was considered in an RM four years ago that did not succeed, so an RM discussion seems necessary. —

Moved back in 2013 by @
Netoholic (sorry for the ping, I know it's been a decade, but I don't like mentioning somebody w/o pinging them), it has been a while but there was an argument made back then that it's a network, and if others are likely to agree a discussion may be the best choice.

Since you mentioned him and have provided the link, I've pinged @
Netoholic: to reiterate his stance back then about this – only then will I be convinced to remove this and start an RM/a fresh RM for this.

Oppose. This makes it sound like a rivalry between the two states, rather than a sporting one between two colleges. Should probably downcase to college sports rivalry though. —

Um, why? Is it because the "college sports" in the title is no official name/proper noun for this?!

I think the context is an important part of this title, per the precision bullet in
WP:CRITERIA a decent argument could be made that "college sports" is necessary (although I don't know why its capitalized) After a little digging through our search, I'm not seeing any other examples to meet the
WP:CONSISTENT argument, instead a lot of "Team-Team rivalry" (which is fine) and then examples like
Michigan–Ohio State football rivalry (and the convention applies to state v state, country v country and etc.

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been
fully protected or
move protected (see
this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a
page mover.
