Talk:Scouting in Rathfarnham

Careful, everyone
Remember that you can't ever copy and paste content from article to article. When someone submits content, there's a little notice at the bottom that reads, "You agree to license your contributions under the GFDL." The terms of that licensing agreement include a clause that effectively says the content is free to use and modify, but you must present a history of past contributors. By copying and pasting content, you effectively destroy that history.

As a result, everyone knew that you didn't mean to violate copyright. But, reverting their edits, without putting enough effort into finding out why your redirects were reverted, is sure to grate on the nerves of others. What you need to do now is merge the histories of the articles you're trying to move to the new location. This will require the work of an admin. Contact one, and carefully explain which article(s) the original content was from, where you want the content to be placed, and I'm sure he or she would be happy to do it. &mdash; Rebelguys2 talk 00:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * 14th Dublin is ENTIRELY copied and pasted from 13th Dublin, in fact the article has nothing to do with the 14th Dublin at all! That is certainly grating! see Talk:Scouting Ireland for the merge discussion... Stevecull 00:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * This article was also copied and pasted from 13th Dublin... &mdash; Rebelguys2 talk 01:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I've rewritten the articles 13th Dublin, 14th Dublin and Scouting in Rathfarnham in a way that (I hope) all of us can live with.Jorgenpfhartogs 06:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
