User talk:Shortother2

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.

Requesting a move
To request a move, put    at the top of Active Soccer, above the redirect. An admin, if s/he agrees with your reason, will delete the page at Active Soccer and move Throw In (video game) to that page. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:06, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * An administrator has to do it manually. It may take minutes or a couple of days (or never if s/he declines). Do not do a copy/paste move. For more information, see wp:moving a page Jim1138 (talk) 09:34, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * (Moved from User talk:Jim1138 for continuity) Hi! Can you please move the page from Throw In (video game)] to [[Active Soccer?? /Shortother2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shortother2 (talk • contribs) 09:34, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not an admin with the access rights to move the page. Time depends on the admin's backlog. You can edit the page contents on Jim1138 (talk) 09:40, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about that. This is getting rather confusing... Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:06, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
