POV[edit]

This article was one of a few dozen that may have been targeted for biased editing. I took a look at it today, and removed one section which looked questionable. If anyone has questions, please see Talk:Franco-Mongol alliance#List of articles for review. --El on ka 01:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move requested (Amalric, Prince of Tyre > Amalric of Lusignan)[edit]

Move is requested here. Borsoka (talk) 02:30, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 07 October 2016[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Amalric, Lord of Tyre. One participant and the proposer agree that "Lord" of Tyre is a viable solution, while "Prince" of Tyre is an incorrect and unsuitable title for this article. Other points made below may still require more discussion. (non-admin closure) Paine ^u/c 18:18, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Amalric, Prince of Tyre → Amalric of Lusignan – (1) Amalric was Lord of Tyre (2) He is the best known Amalric of Lusignan – Borsoka (talk) 02:29, 7 October 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:16, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Borsoka and BilCat: Are you asking for it to be renamed to Amalric of Lusignan or Amalric of Tyre? - BilCat (talk) 02:37, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Amalric of Lusignan. Borsoka (talk) 02:39, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Amalric of Lusignan previously redirected to Aimery of Cyprus, so that appears to be controversial, and should be discussed first through an WP:RM discussion on the article's talk page. - BilCat (talk) 02:46, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, even if it would not have been a controversial move. If you look at the only page wich directed to Amalric of Lusignan, you will find that it also used an other name (Amaury) ([1]). Should I take any further technical measures now? Borsoka (talk) 02:58, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At least move it from the current title, since "Prince of Tyre", although common, is not correct. Amalric, Lord of Tyre would work.
I am not sure about the proposed title, however. King Aimery is still commonly known, albeit incorrectly, as Amalric and that is probably what people are looking for and expect to see at the proposed title.
There are three redirects (Amalric of Cyprus, Amaury of Lusignan and Amalric of Lusignan) that could arguably redirect here but currently redirect to Aimery of Cyprus. —Srnec (talk) 20:31, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re-relisting comment: There seems doubt that this person is the primary meaning of Amalric of Lusignan, but consensus that this is the name by which he is most commonly known, is that correct? The policy in that case is a bit involved, but before even going there let us work out the facts. Andrewa (talk) 20:27, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Amalric, Lord of Tyre could be a good solution. Borsoka (talk) 02:21, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
