Talk:Moonchildren

Name

first off, "moonchildren" is already a common synonym for cancers (zodiac), at least in the US. back around the 70s, most horoscopes here adopted it in order to avoid the term "cancer" altogether. i believe they've softened on this in the years since ("cancer" once again being the standard in horoscopes, it appears), but most people between 20 and 70 or so associate the two.

so it's not like the name change was completely out of left field. assuming the characters in the play are all cancers/moonchildren, it's really just a more "PC" version of the same thing. paragraph should be reworded to reflect this.

moreover, ARE the characters all cancers/moonchildren?! the way the article reads now, one gets the impression moonchild means something else...disaffected youth or something. did the playwright confuse the term with "flower children" or the like? AFAIK, moonchild has no other meaning besides the zodiac one. 209.172.25.204 (talk) 23:57, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation for "Moonchildren" (Business vs. Play)

Dear editors,

I am writing to discuss the current "Moonchildren" article. I am the founder of the spiritual business and webshop "Moonchildren", based in the Netherlands. Over the past five years, our brand has grown into a well-known entity within the spiritual and "traditional witchcraft" niche within the Netherlands and Belgium.

Currently, we are noticing significant search engine confusion. While we respect the historical significance of the play, the search intent for "Moonchildren" increasingly points towards our establishment. We have been featured in several independent media outlets, which underlines our "notability" in a local and niche context:

• Brabants Dagblad: A feature article about our shop and its impact: "Hekserij en marketing gaan hand in hand in Goirle".
• Goirlenet: A feature article about our shop and its impact locally: https://goirlenet.nl/2025/09/05/tilburgseweg-42-in-goirle-de-plek-van-groei/

We were advised that creating a dedicated Wikipedia page for our business might be a solution, but we are hesitant. We previously assumed Wikipedia was reserved for larger corporations, and we want to avoid any "Conflict of Interest" or "Promotion" violations.

But currently are noticing a significant impact on the business due to new overviews being pushed that exceed 'Dutch', and are now quoting the international wikipedia and the play pushing us off the search results completely in the Netherlands, whereas we used to have at least multiple top 10 positions search for our brandname.

What is the best path forward to help users find the correct information?

1. Would it be appropriate to add a Hatnote at the top of the play's article? (e.g., "This article is about the play. For the spiritual business, see Moonchildren.nl").
2. Is our level of independent media coverage sufficient to justify a separate notable article about the business to resolve the ambiguity?
3. Are there any other ways you might be aware of dealing with such situations, we do not which to compete or harm the current play page in any way shape or form, but we also don't want to be negatively impacted for our specific region (the Netherlands/Belgium).

I would appreciate the community's guidance on how to handle this professionally.

Kind regards,
