Moving article

Hi All,

I moved and updated the content of the article here: Wikipedia:Academic studies of health information on Wikipedia. I hope that's all right, feel free to edit it there too.

Best, --Adam Harangozó (NIHR WiR) (talk) 16:51, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

The rename is fine but to keep the edit history I merged the content that fork back into this original content, and then moved this page to that new location. The new name is a fine idea. Bluerasberry (talk) 16:52, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
