Thanks For correcting the Shaximiao Formation age, before two months ago this article was a complete mess and called the Dashanpu Formation, which doesn't even exist, and that error had existed since 2006. Thanks for the help. I can't thank you through the button because you are an Ip user, but take this post as an equivalent, I hope you stick around.

Hello there. I realise you think you're doing this encyclopaedia a service by removing non-functioning links. Unfortunately that's not the case. Dead links can still be useful to verify that (at least once) a statement was true, plus it allows others to research and find archived versions of that source. If the dead source has gone, we're simply just stuck. So please don't remove any more dead links. See Wikipedia:Link rot for further details. By way of example, you can search on an existing dead link at https://web.archive.org/ and often find a replacement. Thus, for Archaeopteryx, I found this replacement link. Would you kindly add it please as a replacement link to that article? I'm going to go through I have gone through your recent edits and potentially reverted all such deletions. Hope you're OK with this. Best, Nick Moyes (talk) 00:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Struthio linxiaensis 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.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
