Please don't do the sort of "cut and paste" move you did at Prince Nicholas of Leiningen and Nicholas Prinz von Leiningen. It destroys the edit history, which must be maintained in order to attribute the text. If you want to move a page, you should initiate a discussion at Wikipedia:Requested moves - though since his name is the former as it appears in the cited source, it's not clear that a request for moving the article to a German translation of his name would succeed. - Nunh-huh 20:39, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've been doing this repeatedly. I'm going to try to undo them. Please don't keep doing this, as it's a bit of a mess to clean up. - Nunh-huh 20:44, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also please don't create double redirects (that is, redirects that go to another redirect page). They don't work. If you want a redirect for, say Princess Sofia to point to information on her father Prince George's page, then Princess Sofia, Princess Sophia, Prinzessin Sofie, etc should all contain #REDIRECT [[Prince George]], not point to [[Prinzessin Sofie]] which then points to Prince George. - Nunh-huh 20:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't realise the trouble I caused with the cutting and pasting and double redirecting. I'll try and fix the links on other pages to those that I changed, such that they go to the right place.

I think that they do now, but I'd appreciate it if you double-check. Don't worry, just learn the right way :) Cutting and pasting can't be done because it makes it seem like the person doing the pasting is the person who wrote the article, but under the GFDL we maintain the history to show who actually wrote it. - Nunh-huh 21:24, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
