User talk:RaeValentine

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Rae Valentine (Singer) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Rae Valentine (Singer). 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 (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). 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 Requests for history merge. Thank you.

 * This is based on your statement here that you are not Rae Valentine. You can not use her name and edit about her.  Also in the same statement you talk about we and us.  Has more than one person had access to this account?  Finally, why did you "need" to make the page?  ~ GB fan 11:08, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Im sorry I had answered the question. Don't know, how did it not reflect. Also, only I had access to this account and its just a contribution article to the wikipedia. As, we are allowed to provide our inputs. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RaeValentine (talk • contribs) 17:59, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Again you are saying "we" and "our" Are you working with someone else on the article?  Another question you did not address above, why did you need to make the page?  In addition to those questions, I have another concern.  You say you have no connection to Rae Valentine, but you also say at Commons that you took the two pictures of her.  If you took those pictures, especially the posed shot at the top of the article, you must have some kind of connection to her.  ~ GB fan 22:25, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

This article has been submitted to wikipedia as a contribution & Not for any promotional purposes. Its only me who has been working on this article. I made this page only to add a contribution to wikipedia as she is a known singer here. Also, her pictures are available on her social media and the picture that has been used above, is also there on spotify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RaeValentine (talk • contribs) 13:27, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * So are you saying you didn't take the pictures you used on the article but copied them from her social media sites? ~ GB fan 17:31, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes, Sir. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RaeValentine (talk • contribs) 18:13, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
