Đeravica Lake → Gjeravica Lake – As above. – bobrayner (talk) 01:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Labattblueboy (talk) 04:57, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

The article has been stable at its current location since 2008, what has changed?--Labattblueboy (talk) 04:57, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

I am finally getting round to clearing up the mess left by Balkan pov-warriors who were successful for several years. Is a string of undiscussed moves OK if one side gets the upper hand over the other for a longer period? I don't see any policy basis for such an approach. For what it's worth, I've also removed a lot of copyvio, of a similar vintage, in this area; should that be returned to article-space too since it went unnoticed for years? bobrayner (talk) 19:07, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

There are several back-and-forth moves in the page history, but as Labattblueboy notes, it has been at this title for a long time. Let's have a discussion here and try to establish a consensus title. Dekimasuよ! 06:30, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

By Article alert. Oppose, main article is Đeravica, so lake must be like that too. Also, Đeravica/Deravica is by far more COMMONANME then Gjeravica in sources. --Ąnαșταη (ταlκ) 22:28, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Oppose per common name.--Zoupan 21:22, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Dekimasu, why on earth did you move this page back to Đeravica Lake again, reverting @Anthony Appleyard:? If we're undoing a series of problematic undiscussed moves, shouldn't we return to the original title rather than give the advantage to the move-warriors? bobrayner (talk) 19:04, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
Oppose - common name is Đeravica (although the Đ is often substituted with Dj or D when the keyboard doesn't have the character). Further, linguistically, the name's origin is from Serbia (compare with another location name further away: Đerdap), the word suffix is a common Slavic one, and "Gjeravica" is just the transcription of the word to the Albanian alphabet, where the first letter simply has been replaced with the closest sound in Albanian. - Anonimski (talk) 18:42, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
