Ace Combat 3 moving

Hi JamesofUR. Regarding your recent denial of the move request, you might want to be careful with letting that guy do as he wants around here. He's also the head admin of the Acepedia, an Ace Combat fan wiki, where he's amassed quite a reputation for being too dictatorial with the content there and even players in Ace Combat-related Facebook groups are irritated with this. Such a "distinction" can smack of COI in many cases - I wouldn't be surprised if the wiki contained much of the content our editors deleted from the various Ace Combat articles here years ago. Thanks for hearing me out. --Eaglestorm (talk) 15:33, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Please refer to Talk:Ace Combat 3, as well as the move history of Ace Combat 3, as well as the fact that all of the other Ace Combat articles such as Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies use the subtitles. My actions on a fan wiki do not have a COI in this case of article moving because it has been attempted and discussed by numerous other users, and Jamesofur even agrees with the reasons for the move (see User talk:SlyCooperFan1). A discussion can be made and a consensus can be reached. (Note that I have no powers here.) I really appreciate you guys on Facebook trying to hound me and prevent me from living without your opinions being made clear, but you're just acting childish and disruptive. ~SlyCooperFan1 22:46, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Jamesofur, thank you for notifying me of the denial to move. There are currently two requests listed on the AC3 article's talk page concerning its move. One is archived, therefore we obviously are not touching it. The second, however, has been sitting there with no replies since August 2013. It has not been archived. Should we resurrect that discussion, or should that be archived as well and the discussion moved to a brand new section on the AC3 talk page or to Wikipedia:Requested moves? I am quite unfamiliar with the hierarchy of Wikipedia, so I'm not positive on how to proceed. ~SlyCooperFan1 22:46, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

@SlyCooperFan1: I would probably just archive the 2nd one as well (it's very old at this point) and start a new discussion on the talk page. the moves page has some good instructions on how to get attention to it with the requested moves template. James of UR (talk) 23:10, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

@Jamesofur: Thank you for the guidance. The 2nd discussion has been archived, and I've started a third with the proper template. Thank you again for your help! ~SlyCooperFan1 23:37, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
