Hello, I'm Tbhotch. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Kyivan Rus', because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Kievan Rus' 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. 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:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Further, please address the issue on the talk page and gain consensus *before* moving a page. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 23:34, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
