Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi. I see you tried to correct the title of Subeme La Radio to Súbeme La Radio by copying the contents from the former to the latter and then redirecting the former. Unfortunately, that's not an acceptable way to do it, as it deprives the original author of the credit for their work which must be retained for compliance with Wikipedia's copyright attribution policy. The proper way to correct an article title is to use the "Move" facility, which will move it to the new title and leave a redirect - you should find it under the "More" tab at the top of the page. If you can not use the Move facility for some reason (for example, the page is protected against being moved), you can use {{subst:Requested move|NewName |reason= Why}} on the article's talk page to request it instead.

Having had a look at your log, I see you have done numerous page moves in the past and clearly know how to do it, so I really don't understand why you did a copy-paste this time (especially as you have been warned not to do it before).

Clifden

[edit]

Could you please stop with your POV-edits on Clifden? Is is the English-language Wikipedia, so names should be in English. See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Ireland-related articles and especially:

Where the English- and Irish-language names are different:

and the English name predominates in English, use the English name (Wicklow, not Cill Mhantáin);
and the Irish name is the official name, but has not yet gained favour in English, use the English name (Newbridge, not Droichead Nua);
and the Irish name is official and has gained favour in English, use the official Irish name (Muine Bheag, not Bagenalstown).

The second line applies here. The Banner talk 12:52, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Asgardia

[edit]

You likely know more about Asgardia than I do, but please don't remove it's name in other languages without posting on Talk explaining why. As far as I can see, they're as accurate as any others (although the Korean one did look slightly odd), but admittedly I used machine translation. Bromley86 (talk) 06:53, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

September 2017

[edit]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Alexandrov Ensemble a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Red Army Choir. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
