@Underbar dk:, @Lds:Coup is still correct but it sounds less professional in my own opinion. Thoughts? Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 23:30, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, is it actually even a coup? I thought that it was only a coup if a lower power was trying to remove a higher power from office etc? Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 23:47, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Per naming norms. Why don't you use Wikipedia's search engine to search for articles with titles starting with "Coup of..."? See if there are any named "Coup d'état of...". It was a coup because Cao Mao was trying to seize power back from the regent Sima Zhao. LDS _{contact me} 02:46, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
