User talk:Givonalston
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jim Brown, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Hello, Givonalston. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, User:Givonalston/sandbox, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on [[Talk:User:Givonalston/sandbox|the article's talk page]]. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

About User:Givonalston/sandbox
[edit] Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give User:Givonalston/sandbox 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 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. O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 21:19, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
