Copy-paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:John H. Miller, Jr. a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into John H. Miller, Jr.. 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.

My created pages and their originality

Hi, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia as well. Thank you for this note. I believe there is some misunderstanding. The page pointed out by you, as well as all the pages created by me are made directly by me without creating drafts. All the pages made by me are my original work, not copied or borrowed from anywhere, anyone can verify that. If I had made this page as draft before and then moved it like that, I do not remember. I cannot find the draft anywhere that you have pointed out. I do not see any problems with the history of this page either. But anyhow, I regret any inconvenience to you or any other editors. Thank you and my best. 07:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)Doyen786 (talk)
