Moving articles

edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Marianne (magazine: 1930-40) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Marianne (magazine: 1932-40). 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 for registered users, 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. —ShelfSkewed Talk 06:01, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

HI. Sorry. I didn't know about the move button. Thanks so much.Vicktoryaz (talk) 06:08, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
No problem. I've already listed the article at the history merge page, so you don't have to worry about that. You might want to look at Help:Getting started, which has information for new editors, including several tutorials about all the editing features. Welcome, and happy editing!—ShelfSkewed Talk 06:21, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi. How do you add/link wikidata [1] to Wikipedia? Thanks. Vicktoryaz (talk) 22:50, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

That's something I've only worked with once or twice, but you should be able to find everything you need to know here: WP:Wikidata.—ShelfSkewed Talk 23:06, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks anyways.Vicktoryaz (talk) 00:36, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Albert C. J. Simard (disambiguation)

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Albert C. J. Simard (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
