Name change[edit]

@J-Man11: Why did you move the page without gaining any consensus first? The correct is name is 5 Force Support Battalion REME per all official sources. @Dormskirk: can you move it back please? – SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 17:40, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SmartyPants22 not anymore, all REME magazines for the recent months all state its title had changed to ‘Theatre Support’. I can even take a few screenshots for you if you want.. The old title was Force Support, but has of recent became Theatre Support to tie it with its paired battalion; 103 Theatre Support Bn REME.. J-Man11 (talk) 17:46, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@J-Man11: As previously requested, please can secure consensus before making the page changes. Thanks, Dormskirk (talk) 17:48, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've done that before, and the problem is it never occurs, that's why I've just given up in that area.. I see why it might seem a little strange, but previous experience has led me to believe this stuff just never happens. J-Man11 (talk) 17:52, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My discussion to get List of units and formations of the British Army 2020 re-named to 'Structure of the British Army' has been ongoing since January, and yet I haven't just decided to move it myself. Patience is key. – SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 17:56, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@J-Man11: As a reader of Craftsman magazine, I'm aware of the name stated within the magazine. However that is one single primary source, compared to the multiple other, both primary and secondary sources, that support the name '5 Force Support Battalion'. – SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 17:56, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here a screenshot from the magazine for you. This is the February 2021 edition. J-Man11 (talk) 17:54, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@J-Man11: As SmartyPants22 says, that appears to be a primary source. Please confirm you are OK for the article to be moved back. Dormskirk (talk) 18:16, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dormskirk: Can this be moved back then? I'd be more than happy to provide some references to support the move if you want them? Thanks – SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 19:43, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fine with me. @J-Man11: Please confirm you are OK with this so we have a consensus. We do not want to be moving it back and forth. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 19:48, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Go ahead, I've only found one reference for the name change, so go ahead and change the name back. J-Man11 (talk) 18:01, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
