Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. 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, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. 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 articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 19:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I've replied to your comment on my talk page. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 08:12, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I was trying to put right the idiotic (in my opinion) decision to remove the Wikipedia page of the main protagonist of Tomb Raider, Natla. :) Ostercy (talk) 14:48, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

March 2023

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Alun Armstrong, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! DonIago (talk) 21:44, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
