Page titles[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Agstafa River a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Aghstev. 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.

Villages in Karabakh[edit]

Please stop moving articles about towns and villages in Nagorno-Karabakh under their made-up post-1994 Armenian names. If anything, they should be given their pre-conflict names. You attempted to do so with the Dashalty article, but your edit was reverted. If you continue with this attitude, you will be reported for POV-pushing. So consider yourself warned.

Page titles (again)[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Daşaltı a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Dashalty. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is 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, 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. 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.

Whatever you do, you should never try to move a page by cutting and pasting. If you aren't sure what to do, ask for help at WP:RM. R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:56, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
