Kirsopp Lake[edit]

Your expansion in this article is excellent. From stub to B-class. Very good. I have nominated the article to DYK. Perhaps it should be nominated to GA. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 02:24, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Kirsopp Lake[edit]

On 20 September 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Kirsopp Lake, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Kirsopp Lake published the text of the Codex Sinaiticus? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kirsopp Lake.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

October 2019[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Thomas William Allen a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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. – Joe (talk) 10:43, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
