The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was page moved. The discussion makes clear that the current name is not correct. What is not clear is what the correct name is. Since there was no objection to the proposed name, I moved it there and it can be moved again if a better name surfaces. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:38, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]



Jesenice witch trialsNorthern Moravia witch trials — The name of this article is wrong. The witch trials described here did not take place in Jesenice, but near Freiwaldau (now Jeseník). I suggest that this article should be renamed to 'Northern Moravia witch trials'. Nazgul02 (talk) 15:31, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the name of the area was misspelled, it could simply be renamed as Jeseník witch trials. But another name would perhaps be even better: the article say they were known under the name Boblig witch trials, after the person by this name, who conducted them. This is also a good name for them. --Aciram (talk) 16:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I did a little googling on this. There is no estabilished name for these trials. "Northern Moravian witch trials" seems to be the most frequently used one. "Boblig witch trials" seems to be used only in this article and in the articles quoting it. I'll try to find someone who is an expert on this subject.
