On duplicating pages
Hi Kdpandit, welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome new editors, and I see you have attempted some constructive edits.

There is however a point I should note. I see you tried to change pages like Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence that used to redirect to Robinson-Schensted algorithm by copying the contents of Robinson–Schensted–Knuth correspondence (with different hyphens). However having several identical or almost identical pages is not done on wikipedia, for good reasons. Imagine someone makes an edit to a page, correcting an error, and someone else makes a correction to the other page. Now neither page has both corrections, and worse, the are likely to keep on drifting apart. So please, please, never do this. If you find a redirect is wrong (as it was in these cases) you can simply edit the redirection, which is what I did in the cases I found. To edit a redirect page, click on to "redirected from" tag at the top of the page you wore redirected to. But you probably know this already, as you did edit the pages. Only never NEVER replace the redirect by the contents of the page it redirects to (or that it should have redirected to). If I've missed some pages you duplicated similarly, place take care to undo those duplications. Thank you. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 15:47, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
