Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give User:Banafaisha/Sandbox a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into INeedAPencil. 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.

 * Hi! Those are template messages above so they're a little cold. I just want to clarify what's happening right now.  the article you created in mainspace (INeedAPencil) was a copy/paste move from User:Banafaisha/Sandbox.  Usually this isn't a big issue but because you also posted it to what I assume is your blog, it appears/appeared as though it was a copyright violation.  I noticed that you made it in your sandbox before so I marked it to have its history merged to mainspace so that the problem can be corrected.  If you have any questions regarding this procedure, feel free to ask here and I'll do my best to answer.


 * There may be other problems with the article that haven't been addressed but I haven't gotten that far yet.  Ol Yeller21 Talktome  21:46, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
