Article moving isn't just copying and pasting the text
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give M.T. Abraham Center for the Visual Arts Foundation a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. 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. —C.Fred (talk) 20:42, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * FYI, the article has been moved to the new title of M.T. Abraham Foundation. —C.Fred (talk) 20:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Assist with changing client's page
Hi Fred, I hope I'm doing this right by replying here. I need to update my client's page (change name and logo), and you've noticed, I probably did it wrong. I understand that I need to have 10 edits and wait 4 days (although my client is in a rush) and I am trying to do this right and by Wikipedia rules. Can you please tell me if there is another way to request the name/logo change instead of this process? as I am trying to find 10 terms to contribute to, I really think that this will cause people to "edit just for the sake of editing" and this just looks wrong.. so I wonder if there is another process.

Thanks

 * What should the title be, if not M.T. Abraham Foundation? —C.Fred (talk) 21:00, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * The title is Ok, thank you for the change! my issue is the logo, which was changed to a new one.

I also saw the conflict of interest and (1) I am only changing their name as they have re-branded it, and (2) I am very pleased to see how WP is treating updates, I had doubts about content in some topics before, but it looks as if it is standardized and being looked after. I am glad to see that.

 * There is a request for image uploads page; I don't know where the link is off the top of my head. —C.Fred (talk) 21:12, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Correct. and it says that I need 10 edits + 4 days waiting period to use it. I will do that, although what I'm saying is that people may fill incorrect information just to get access to that upload page and move functions... (not that I'm going to do that myself, just as a general note).

Thanks for the assistance CF. Ika-netcomet (talk) 21:15, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * The request page exists for people to request the upload before they've gotten autoconfirmation. It's Requested pictures. —C.Fred (talk) 21:17, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Since you've declared a conflict of interest...
Hello, Ika-netcomet. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article M.T. Abraham Foundation, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
