Fulton Gap changes

Hi, Alphaparrot. I reverted your changes while retaining the requested move banner. While WP:BOLD is one of Wikipedia's principles, so is WP:CONSENSUS. This is where Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle comes into play. The type of changes that you made must be made after a discussion, particularly when there is more than two candidate names for the article. Please see my comments at Talk:Fulton gap#Requested move 24 June 2020.

The reason that I reverted your edit was that you inter-weaved into the article a name that gets just as many mentions as the Fulton Gap at scholar.google.com, & there was no way of reasonable way of balancing the article between Fulton Gap & Photovaporation valley without major editing.

Frankly, I do not think that either Fulton Gap or Photoevaporation valley should be the name of the article. There are so many more mentions of the Radius gap at Google scholar that it seems obvious to me. I believe that the major editing should go towards Radius gap, with Fulton Gap or Photoevaporation valley as alternate names & redirects.
