Page titles
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Thalamic syndrome a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Dejerine–Roussy syndrome. 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.

Re: Page Titles
Hi, thanks for the message. This is my first ever wikipedia article, and I appreciate the help. I see a few changes you've made with the page for Dejerine-Roussy syndrome. My question is, do I need to take any action or have you already implemented the fix from the "cut-and-paste" issue and any other issues with this article? I looked at the page and could not find the "move" button, can I request your help in moving it? I'm making a few more edits over the next few days, but then I think I will be done for a while after that.

Thanks again, --Erika.Tyburski (talk) 20:32, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
