Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cyprinodon macularius, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Baja (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Cut-paste move

edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Cyprinodon macularius a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Desert pupfish. 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.

Hi Yzx,

I'm not sure why this article just got renominated for GA status, but it's certainly not finished. I am still working through the revisions that you suggested previously. Please don't feel the need to review this article yet!
