 * Vector toolbar with signature button.png you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured to the right.


 * It is very easy to just move an article, but unfortunately, you will not be able to do so yet, because your account is so new. Once your account is four days old (and you've made 10 edits - but you've already done that part) - then you'll be able to move files.


 * If you can't wait, head over to Requested moves. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 22:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Changing an article title is accomplished by moving the article to a new name. However, you have to be autoconfirmed to do that, which requires 4 days and 10 edits. You can suggest the change at the talk page of the article, or tell me, and point me to a reliable source and I'll do it.-- SPhilbrick  T  22:57, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page 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 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.
