Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Andrew Slattery has been reverted. Your edit here to Andrew Slattery was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/Andrew_Slattery) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 01:58, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Andrew Slattery 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) 02:26, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks C.Fred, I tried to move the subject's listing to the generic, but yeah it works ok in the disambig page, so long as the 3 people with this name in Australia are clearly disambiguated.


 * None of the three are the primary topic, so Andrew Slattery should stay the disambiguation page. The article about the screenwriter is now titled Andrew Slattery (screenwriter). —C.Fred (talk) 02:35, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Cool. For future ref, what constitutes "primary topic," the subject's notability? And is this the only means to chat/communicate with fellow editors of the same page, or are there other means? it's amazing how one's knowledge of one thing leads to another separate page, this could be addictive!


 * It's a little more than notability: it's if the subject is clearly the one people are searching for when they search on that term.
 * Talk pages are the primary means of communication. Each user has one, and each article has one.
 * Finally, there's already an article about Andrew Slattery the poet and screenwriter. It's titled Andrew Slattery (poet); the content you added has been merged into that one. —C.Fred (talk) 02:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

The problem is, this article (Andrew Slattery (poet)) combines 2 of the 3 Andrew Slatterys in question. One is a screenwriter, one a poet, one a artist.


 * Which it looks like the community is working its way through at Talk:Andrew Slattery (poet). —C.Fred (talk) 02:58, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
