 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, welcome, and I hope that you will like Wikipedia. Xiner (talk, email) 17:34, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I have no opinion on which one of these names the article should be at, but simply cut-and-pasting from one article to another to effect a move is definitely NOT a good idea, because it is important to keep the page hisory, in order that copyright can be properly attributed. See Moving a page. Instead the page should be moved, see HELP:MOVE.

Normally moving a page is quite easy, but in this case, because there is an existing page at the target name (and it is not a redirect, with exactly one entry in its history, pointing back to the source page), you will require admin help to do the move.

I have therefore reverted your cut-and-paste move. If you still wish to do the move, I suggest you use the WP:RM process to gain consensus for the move, after which an admin will move it for you. --NSH001 (talk) 00:05, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Fair point - I haven't tried to do this before.
