Moving Pe̍h-ōe-jī article
I need help moving a page. I was moving Pe̍h-oē-jī into Pe̍h-ōe-jī. However, a wrong character "+" crept in during the process and now the article is at Pe̍h-ōe-jī+.

I need help renaming "Pe̍h-ōe-jī+" into the intended entry "Pe̍h-ōe-jī". A redirect won't do it, because it may result in a triple redirect, and also we don't need to keep the wrong name in the system. Thanks, HYC 21:18, 20 February 2006 (UTC)


 * All you need to do is move it again. Yes, that will create a double redirect, but you go and edit the redirect to be correct. Also, leave a note on my talk page when you are done, and I'll delete the extraneous redirect. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. There were a few other redirects that needed adjusting, but I've taken care of them. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

 * You are welcome. I hate seeing users cutting off content without leaving at least a summary section. -- HYC (talk) 07:21, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Question about userspace page
Does the page User:HYC/Resources serve some purpose in relation to Wikipedia, or are you just using it as a convenient place to store links for your personal use, unrelated to Wikipedia? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:48, 22 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for asking. The page in question was created in 2006, when I was quite new to Wikipedia. My intention was for it to serve as a "resources" page — containing helpful resources, tools of various kinds, and other research aids in one place (not just for me, but also for anyone who might find them helpful). Some examples of the tools that could be included would be dictionaries, language and translation aids, geographical tools, demographical and census data, Unicode tables, medical journals, archaeological text collections, and other things of the sort, all of which could be needed to do research, depending on the area I would be interested at a given moment — and this is how that page is related to Wikipedia. Unfortunately I got busy and was unable to spend much time in Wikipedia, so I haven’t been able to build up and update the page as much as I would like.
 * Now that you mention it, I went back to the page and noticed that, as it stands now, there is one dominant section, with many links related to the issue of email spam. I think that has happened just because I was looking into this topic at the time — what is spam and how to combat it. (In fact, several of my edits of that time on that topic survive even today.) I would agree that the page needs updating: several links might be dead and are probably no longer relevant, and more sections need to be added to make the page more resourceful. I would like to say that I haven’t given up on my original idea and design, and I still want to improve it and make it more useful, though it would be done incrementally. -- HYC 2015-11-28 23:55 (UTC)
