"Red Gates"

[edit]

At the moment, Red Gate is this article and Red Gates redirects here...but since the structure was called Red Gates shouldn't it be the other way around? --Syrthiss 19:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning on Lazar

[edit]

To all those linking demolition of Red Gates to Lazar Kaganovich. Please take your time and compare the dates of destruction with Lazar's bio. You'll see that at that time he was stationed in Kharkiv and had other things to do... many things, but not this one. NVO 14:16, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion for "Redgate"

[edit]

The usage of "Redgate" is under discussion, see Talk:Redgate (company) -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 06:09, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 January 2015

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. The nomination mentions only usage in the article, no other reasons why this should be moved. The single oppose !vote cites WP:COMMONNAME, that the proposed title is not as common in English as the current one. No other discussion after a relist, so closing as no consensus.(non-admin closure)  — Amakuru (talk) 11:33, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]



Red GateRed Gates – the article treats this structure as the "Red Gates", not the "Red Gate", so the article is misnamed. Potentially, "Red Gate" might also be better as a redirect to redgate (disambiguation), but primarily, the "s" should be added, per 2006's Syrthiss --Relisted.

Split off background material

[edit]

I suggest that the Red Gate#Background section be split off into a separate article. It's really too much to have a history of Russian triumphal arches in this article. And we do not have an overview article for the category Category:Triumphal arches in Russia. The other Russian triumphal arch articles do not feature such a large background section, and it isn't necessary in this article. Instead a central article can serve as the background to all the Russian arches articles -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 06:18, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copyediting tag removed.

[edit]

This article had the tag{{copy edit|reason= the use of "Red Gate" v "Red Gates" has been at odds with each other since 2005; see multiple discussions on the talk page|date=January 2015}}, now removed. Copyediting is not the proper remedy for the problem.--DThomsen8 (talk) 01:23, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
