Article named Mary O'Donovan Rossa. Suggestion to move to Mary Jane O'Donovan Rossa.

Help! This woman is always known as Mary Jane. I did not realize this article existed(it is recent) and I created a page called Mary Jane O'Donovan Rossa.Then I saw this and left a suggestion on the talk page for renaming the article. I then blanked my own article and someone then redirected it to the above. I would love to see this article renamed, but I am not confident enough to move it and am worried that the redirect complicates things. Please note that ALL OF THE SOURCES USED REFER TO HER AS MARY JANE. Her gravestone says Mary Jane. In her home town she is always called Mary Jane (Irwin). Can you help?Aineireland (talk) 11:44, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

As a redirect is in place I can't move the article in the usual way. I have requested a move here: Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. Smirkybec (talk) 11:26, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. Sam Sailor seems to have sorted it. Best wishes.Aineireland (talk) 12:36, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:53, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
