[Wikipedia-l] Moving vs. redirecting (sysop application)

[Poor, Edmund W]

It has come to my attention that the preferred way to change the name of an article (when such a change is in fact warranted) is to MOVE the article rather than use the clunky old REDIRECT feature.

May I please become a sysop, so I can use the MOVE feature?

I pledge not to impose my POV on articles, and not to abuse this power to "win" edit wars. I promise not to "stealthily" edit such controversial articles as evolution, global warming, etc. Okay?
