I see where your point is but, most other articles have former names, The one about Istanbul being the one I'll bring up for you.

Wikipedia:Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:49, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cut-and-Paste move of Salton Inc. to Russell Hobbs Inc

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Salton Inc. a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Russell Hobbs Inc. 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. 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:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Additional note; Hi there, I appreciate that the above move was made three years ago, and you've possibly learned since then, but I still feel it should be brought to your attention as this can cause problems with page history and attribution. I will arrange for the editing history of the Salton Inc. article (converted by you to a redirect) into Russell Hobbs Inc. Thank you for your understanding.
