Talk:Screenwatching

Uh... what?

 * 08:03 . . Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato (Talk | contribs) moved Screenwatching to Screen Cheating (This is the name I hear more.)

I have two objections to this:
 * We renamed an entire article due to the unverifiable, personal experiences of a single user. One person said that it's "the name [they] hear more", and gave that as the only reason for moving the article.
 * The user in question renamed the article because (according to them) "screen cheating" is the more common term. Google proves that user wrong. A search for the exact phrase "screen watching" returns ~63200 results, compared to "screen cheating"'s measly ~3920 results. Furthermore, the space-less variant "screenwatching" adds another ~3130. The ratio, then, is ~66330:3920, watching:cheating.

For those who doubt the accuracy of Google in matters like this... From Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Search engine test:
 * Alternative spellings and usages can have their relative frequencies checked (eg, for a debate which is the more common of two equally neutral and acceptable terms).

Now, considering that the move was done without any apparent proof or verifiable reason, and also considering that Wikipedia recommends the most common name for something as an article title, I think that this article should be renamed back to what is obviously the most common term: Screenwatching.

On a side note, I have never once heard the terms "screen cheating" or "screen peeking". Perhaps I should remove them from the article using my unverifiable personal experience as a rationale? :3  DavidJCobb  23:02, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * If he wanted to rename it, he should have at least put a template on to suggest a change, not just change it immediately...it should be changed back to "Screenwatching". Colonel Grade One.png  General5 7    talk    contribs    email   23:19, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * Moved back to previous title.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 14:52, December 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * You guys are completely correct, I should not have changed it. My reasoning was that the original name was not accurate enough, as it is more "cheating" than "watching." I should've made a template, I should've done research, but frankly I assumed the original title was an error. I am not getting mad now, Subtank, but I am a little disappointed that an administrator left a page in such disrepair.  I mean, you left the template up and it still refers to the title as "screen cheating" within the article... Sorry, folks! This won't happen again! --Fluffball Gato 17:37, December 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * Don't you love free points?-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 17:41, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not really like that. But I suppose that means it is my responsibility now.--Fluffball Gato 17:45, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Ya I think screenlooking is inevitable, but usually if I see someone trying to snipe or assassinate me, I usually just let them do that
