Bugsense
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give User:Skroub/sandbox a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Bugsense. 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.

 * Hello, allow me to clarify. There was but a single edit by another user in your sandbox relevant to this article. Had all relevant work been done by you, a copy and paste to the mainspace would be just fine. This is typically what your sandbox is for. Because your sandbox is your own personal playground, so to speak, it cannot be moved. You could, however, request the articles creation using the link the box at the top of your sandbox. This submits your article to articles for creation, where a review is taken place of your article before it's published. This is not always preferred as it can take quite some time.


 * Wikipedia now has a new namespace specifically for drafts. Moving forward this is probably the preferred way to start new articles. When ready, autoconfirmed users (which you soon will be) may move them to the mainspace. Hope this helps! &mdash; MusikAnimal talk 19:01, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
