Please see the first paragraph of WP:MOVE. When a move might be controversial, you need to seek consensus or go through the procedure at WP:Requested moves. For example, sources at this search prefer it with the hyphen. Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 22:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Hi - in that case, I'll start a discussion around the move here. I believe the name is currently spelled "Do-nuts" because there is a photograph of a poster from the shop that uses this spelling. However, in articles this seems to be more commonly referenced as the "Copper Donuts Riot" rather than "Cooper Do-nuts Riot" so I propose a name change to align with this.

Oppose move - There are plenty of sources (see search in first message in thread) that show this place was Doing Business As Cooper Do-nuts besides the window photo. While many sources assume an error and "correct" it to name the product sold here, donuts, that is not a reason to do it here. Cheers, Fettlemap ( talk) 14:28, 13 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Sourced content and (at least) two references were removed in this edit. There was a significant improvement to other sections in this large edit that spanned the article, and the complex diff appearance on such a large edit makes it difficult for another editor to tease out the good parts that were removed, and put them back. User:InkyBlueCheetah, can you please look over that edit (and possibly subsequent ones, if relevant) and either justify the removal of sourced content, or restore it to the article? Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 00:35, 13 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Hi - I went back to try and address this. I added back most of the citations, but 2 of them did not seem to add new or specific information that was referenced on the page, so I left them in the Additional Information section. I am also not sure if all of these meet Wikipedia's standards for citations? While some of them reference well-known online sources such as the New York times, others reference websites that may be less established as journalistic sources.. Is there a rule of thumb for deciding whether to include a website as a reference? InkyBlueCheetah ( talk) 12:54, 13 July 2020 (UTC) reply

See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for guidance on evaluating sources. Rule of thumb: any doubt, don't use. Cheers, Fettlemap ( talk) 15:00, 13 July 2020 (UTC) reply
