More about splitting
Hi. :) I note that you recently performed a split of material to the article Revolutionary Socialist League (UK, 1938), and I just wanted to drop you a note to point out a few things about the procedure. As Split sets out, when we split material, we have to provide a direct link to the source article. This is necessary because Wikipedia's contributors do not release their material into public domain, but retain rights to authorship under the terms of our licenses, CC-By-SA and GFDL. This wikilink satisfies that requirement by allowing readers to access the history and see who contributed what and when. Usually, we put into the edit summary something along the lines of "Split from Revolutionary Socialist League (UK)". Then, we note the split as well in an edit summary at the source article. That would read like "Material split to Revolutionary Socialist League (UK, 1938)", in this case. This helps make sure that the article is not later deleted, as it cannot be as long as the article to which the material has been split remains. We also have an optional template for the talk pages of both articles at Copied (instructions for using it found there). I have fixed the problems with this split, but I wanted to let you know for future use. Thanks, and if you have any questions about this, please feel free to leave a line at my talk page.
