About Peckerwood Garden

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Peckerwood Garden a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into The John Fairey Garden. 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.

Hello Captain Calm, I did not know about the page move. I certainly can do that.

Page move requested

Please move Peckerwood Garden to The John Fairey Garden. The name has changed. Thanks. O517375 (talk) 19:22, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll move it, as soon as the new article with that name is deleted by an administrator. Thanks, Captain Calm (talk) 19:37, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Captain Calm (talk) 20:26, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
