Please don't cut-paste blocks of text (Anthony Follett Pugsley)
Hello, when you created Anthony Follett Pugsley, and then later cut out most of it and started a draft page and requested review of it, that cause a bit of administrative confusion here. We ended up having to delete your original (chopped-down by you) article to make room, then moving your draft to its old place, and then WP:History merge of the two pages' histories so that all contributors' work is given credit for.

Please do not bounce around like that, it causes more work for the rest of us. Either use the WP:Articles for creation drafting process to make a draft and get it approved, or just start an article if you're sure you have the procedure down. If you ever need to move an article to a new place, do not copy-paste it since that severs the text from the page history (which removes all credit from past contributors and makes it impossible for later editors to see how the page developed). The page Copy-paste explains how this is a problem.

Not sore or anything, and we got it cleaned up pretty quick, but please do move more carefully on these things, and remember that "copy-paste" is almost never the correct solution for a big move. Thanks! MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:34, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
