Merger of locks
Well done and thanks for performing the merge. One word of cation. You did not do the job quite in accordance with WP:MERGE and therfore technically what you did is a WP:COPYVIO. All text in Wikipedia has to be attrtibutable to its source in accordance with the CC BY-SA 3.0 License conditions. Basically, the edit history for Cylinder lock has to be linked from Pin tumbler lock for the edits from the source article to have a verifiable history. I have taken care of this for you by adding the and  templates on the article talk pages as rquired (have a look and you will see how it's done). -Elektrik Fanne (talk) 18:18, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! - I'm still new here, so I didn't know that - I will have a good read of it tonight!! Thanks for the help and advice :) Willh26 (talk) 18:43, 16 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I have also closed the discussions, though technically I am in breach of the rules for the last two as I proposed or contributed to the discussions. The merges were sufficiently obvious and (I believe) uncontroversial that I am not expecting any flack.  Good job though! -Elektrik Fanne (talk) 13:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Troye Sivan into Key (lock). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:51, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
