Your redirect went to a non-existant page, so I undid your change. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:46, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently 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 needed for attribution and various other purposes. 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. 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 Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hello Jim1138, in fact I was trying to move it with copy and paste, by mistake, and your automatic check undid it, for which I thank you. I then read the instructions/recommendations for moving pages, and tried to move it correctly by using the move tab at the top of the page to be moved. But it was not possible for three reasons: first, because when I tried to move it with copy and paste, I previously created the page with the name Colegio Humboldt Caracas and the automatic check informed that a page with that name already existed. Second, because, when you undid my action, you inserted a redirect to the original page in the page I created. And third, because when I eliminated your redirection this was recorded in page history. So, I had to request that the administrators do this for me.Arthur A C Treuherz (talk) 09:58, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
