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:..."

  • To list a technical request: edit 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.

  • Triad (The Byrds song) (currently a redirect to Triad (David Crosby song))  Triad (David Crosby song) (move · discuss) – Though the song was first recorded by the Byrds, while Crosby was a member of that band, their version went unreleased for two decades. The song is better known via a 1968 cover by the Jefferson Airplane (on their number 6 charting album Crown of Creation) or as a song performed by Crosby's later group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young from 1970 onwards, and featured on that group's hit 1971 album 4 Way Street (#1 in the U.S./#5 in the UK). Therefore, disambiguating the song as a "David Crosby song" is more appropriate and likely to fascilitate easier navigation to the article for interested readers, as the Byrds version is far from being the most famous version of the song.

    @Kohoutek1138: I see that you were involved in the discussion from 9 years ago when this was moved to its current title. I suggest you open up a formal WP:RM to resolve the issue, as a previous discussion indicates this is not uncontroversial. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:19, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
