Talk:Ocean Surface Topography Mission

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The formal name of this project is the Ocean Surface Topography Mission on the Jason-2 satellite. NASA often refers to it as OSTM, while other participants call it Jason-2. I changed the main title page to Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason-2 to give equal weight to the two names. Maddox1 (talk) 17:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move per naming conventions - there are no subpages in the main namespace. JPG-GR (talk) 01:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason-2 → Ocean Surface Topography Mission — The page was unilaterally moved from Ocean Surface Topography Mission to Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason-2 by another user. This move was reverted by a different user who opposed the move, and subsequently reinstated by the user who made the first move. It is not a standard naming convention to use dual names in the title, but rather to have redirects pointing to the most commonly used single name. I have made this proposal to attempt to alliviate a page move war, which may be caused if I were to simply conduct the move which should theoretically have been uncontraversial. I am requesting that the original title, Ocean Surface Topography Mission, is reinstated, as it appears to be the most common title, based on google search results with the word "satellite" as a qualifier. —GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 23:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
