message: I acted on a technical move request by Mysterious Island, since Elvenscout42's original move was not discussed. However my personal opinion is that Elvenscout42's idea might be the best. If he still wants to proceed with that I suggest opening a formal move discussion. EdJohnston (talk) 00:55, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize for my failure to check incoming links. I am always sure to check double redirects, but on this occasion, after I moved the page and I was reminded to check for any double redirects, I clicked on "What links here" and was told that nothing links here. It didn't occur to me that "What links here" in this case meant "What redirects here" only. I will start working on finishing my move now. I do not, however, consent to my move being reverted solely based on technical grounds. Someone has apparently been going around English Wikipedia in the last couple of years insisting that since Japanese films are "more famous" in the English-speaking world than the rest of Japanese culture, then if a film shares the same title as a major literary work or historical event, the film is the primary topic. Even if, like this wartime piece that was probably banned even in Japan until the mid-1950s, the film has never received a wide release outside Japan. I intend to work to undo this ridiculous trend over time. Help me or leave me to work. :) elvenscout742 (talk) 00:44, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *Makes sense to me. The original point made this move sound more like an attempt to have the original mover fix all piping that previous linked to the other article. Now that I better understand that this was more or less a [[[WP:BRD]] dispute, sounds like a clean move. Steel1943 (talk) 05:36, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
