Cut-and-paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Kfar Nabrakh a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Cafrenbach. 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 (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). 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 Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

@Cordless Larry: Well spotted. An IP did the same thing last year In ictu oculi (talk) 13:08, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cracow stuff

I had a slight interest in the "Free City of Cracow" article going back 10 years. I'm unlikely to intervene in other things that I've never seen... AnonMoos (talk) 07:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Genealogizer (talk) 03:40, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that notifying only editors who would agree with your view but not others violates WP:CANVASS policy. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:53, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please use RM before moving an article

Cracow vs Krakow is NOT an uncontroversial name change. Please use WP:RM for any related move. Also, I've noticed that following your failed proposal to move an article (Talk:Kraków University of Economics) you moved it anyway ([1]). Please don't try to circumvent consensus that way. You can start a new RM, but please don't ignore the old one (you'll note, btw, that I actually agreed with you on that particular move...). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:21, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RM: Hijra (South Asia) → Hijra (transgender group)

You recently participated in a move request discussion at Talk:Hegira. I have now proposed one of the suggested moves independently. Please it discuss at Talk:Hijra (South Asia) if you care. — AjaxSmack 00:51, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Previous accounts

Hi, you previously edited as Bobby Martnen (talk · contribs), many obvious diffs but for example 1 vs. 2. And all the Irish name, Polish name edits etc. As far as I understand how this works the best thing to do in is to list any and all accounts since blocked, and start with a clean slate on the project. Cheers In ictu oculi (talk) 12:47, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've put both accounts into SPI at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bobby Martnen. By all means comment if there's a good reason. Nothing personal. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:53, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Important message

In ictu oculi, you can't just go and undo all of my edits because I've been blocked. Move Gunsway and the others back. Genealogizer (talk) 04:28, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Duchy of Cracow move request

You recently participated in a discussion of the title of Free City of Cracow. A similar discussion is now being held at Talk:Grand Duchy of Cracow if you care to participate. — AjaxSmack 02:00, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

kek

Well this is awkward, thought you only used one account ;). --HistoryofIran (talk) 21:24, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
