Requested move
[edit](move request template removed) Quail eggs → Quail egg — Singular rule, the existing redir there has a small history Xario (talk) 12:45, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. This article is about the dish, not the eggs which are its main ingredient, and as such is always in a plural form in English, to quote the relevant guideline which is WP:SINGULAR. Similarly scrambled eggs. Please, when appealing to guidelines, quote the specific guideline and link to it, rather than using vague references such as singular rule.

- Only if I had the interest and time... But anyway, thx for the information about dishes. Does that mean, we remove the template and leave this discussion for future wannabe movers? --Xario (talk) 15:21, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
- Only if you wish to indicate an utter change of mind. Otherwise, leave it; others may agree with the move (although I don't), and if not it will be closed in due course. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:40, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

- Oppose as above; the dish is always plural (as the article should explain); consider the size of one quail egg. The "rule" in actual practice is Choose the singular form, when both are idiomatic (i.e. found in reliable sources). Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:40, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Alright, thank you all for your answers, I learned something and won't suggest such a move again. Greetings, --Xario (talk) 15:36, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for being bold and please continue to be so, and if you like, see several lines of user:andrewa/creed, particularly the items on teamwork, improving articles, and being right sometimes too... Andrewa (talk) 06:21, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not grumpy or anything if that's what you mean :-D --Xario (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
