Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Julian (emperor) 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.

Thank you for your addressing, I appreciate it. What if I wrote an entirely new page on a subject, about which another page already exists, but entirely composed of my own writing and my own citations of sources devoid of the defamations and falsifications that so insistently keep appearing on the preceeding page? Imagine some people making a page by the name Jesus Christ The Alleged Prophet or Mohammed The False Prophet or what have you and others practicing futility by trying to correct it.Votsifex (talk) 21:37, 4 August 2011 (UTC)


 * If you think that the current name is wrong, then you can request a move by starting a discussion - see Moving a page. I would not suggest that you move it unilaterally, which is something that you will be able to do in a few days once your account reaches auto confirmed status, because my feeling is that your request is most likely a "controversial move" and would therefore need discussion. If you think the problem lies with the content, not the name of the article, then you need to take that up on the article's talk page. --Biker Biker (talk) 00:15, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
