Liv Gard Fest
Apologies if I've messed up the Liverpool Garden Festival / International Garden Festival article. I was trying to point out that this festival was officially 'international' (unlike the others) and that the title of the original article was somewhat erroneous.
 * Quite a few newbie errors:
 * The above comment should have been in talk:International Garden Festival
 * We never transfer to a different title using copy-and-paste - always use the move command. At first glance it looked as though you had written International Garden Festival because you had left the edit history behind at Liverpool Garden Festival. If a move is blocked by an existing article, ask an admin to force the move. A move will create a redirect on the old title automatically.
 * Very occasionally it is justifiable to convert an article into a redirect, and leave the history in place, but in this case we delete all the content. Leaving it in place as with this edit creates spurious links in the database and is untidy.
 * if we create a mistake title, as with International garden festival, we clean up after ourselves!
 * But, welcome and carry on editing.
 * Incidentally, I note that user:Irate lived up to his name and has been blocked but you may care to check his contributions to make sure you don't dulpicate. -- RHaworth 11:12, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
