Changing an article's name
[edit]Hi. I see you created a new article called Amboyna (play) which was exactly the same as the Amboyna (tragedy) article in order to change the article's title. Just for future reference the way to do this is to use the "move" tab at the top of the page; this has several advantages: it means there's only one article to maintain, it preserves the article history and it automatically creates a "redirect" page on the old article which will redirect people straight to the new one without needing to click on anything. Very new users are blocked from using "move" (there have been problems in the past with people setting up a username then comitting "hilarious" vandalism by moving articles about), so probably it's your best bet to have a word with a user of longer standing (such as myself or Zapptastic, who welcomed you above) to ask them to do it. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! Happy editing. Tonywalton | Talk 19:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah - "Move" isn't too intuitively obvious for "change the name of an article", sadly. Ah well, all sorted now. Regards. Tonywalton | Talk 19:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Business Email Compromise
[edit]Hello, Bear475. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Business Email Compromise".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 09:06, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
