I find it interesting that your contributions have been, as near as I can tell, one incident of linkspamming on behalf of the anon and two good edits. Perhaps it would behoove you to remove the camel from your own eye before you attempt to criticise your neighbour for the speck in his.--chris.lawson 04:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Honeywell RQ-16 a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered 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, 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 articles 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.

Civility
Hi Bxb and thanks for your great contribution on the RQ-16, filling an obvious gap in our coverage. Please remember to remain WP:CIVIL when dealing with other editors. Name-calling like this just isn't acceptable on Wikipedia. --Rlandmann (talk) 23:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia articles on US military aircraft are named according to the convention: if a name exists, and  if one does not (or if there were several different names used); hence F-16 Fighting Falcon, but General Dynamics F-111 and Curtiss P-40. This convention is the subject of long-standing consensus, and has been consistently applied across many hundreds of articles.


 * If you feel that there is some compelling reason why an exception should be made in this particular case, or if you can make a case that "MAV" is a "name", please build consensus at the WikiProject Aircraft talk page. However, if you continue to move pages against consensus, you may be blocked for disruptive editing. --Rlandmann (talk) 07:59, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
