  Hello, I'm 0qd. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Persian language in the Indian subcontinent have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. 0qd (talk) 11:18, 10 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page 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.

I'm confused by your edit summary "September 11 attacks advance-knowledge conspiracy theories"

I could understand if you'd removed such an edit, but adding it? We don't use crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia as a source. Can I suggest that you remove it? See WP:SPS. Doug Weller talk 12:51, 12 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Imran Khan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Muhajir (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:17, 15 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Hindu, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. That was a children's website and wrong, why did you decide to change it anyway?
