Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Truphone 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. I will ask an admin to sort out the mess. ukexpat (talk) 13:32, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message on my user page which I have moved to my user talk page. As noted above, the appropriate process is to request a page move (rename) as described at WP:Requested moves. If we need to discuss further, let's do so on this page.--ukexpat (talk) 15:23, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Since writing the above, I noticed that User:Bencherlite has cleaned up the cut and paste move, so no more needs to be done.--ukexpat (talk) 15:25, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
