redirecting or moving articles

Hello. By standard conventions of Wikipedia, there should not be two separate pages titled Fortune favors the bold and Fortune favours the bold (unless there's some reason to separate them other than the fact that different spelling conventions exist). One should be a redireect page pointing to the other. I have now redirected the former to the latter. The quick way to change from one to the other is to click on "move". The effect is that the article is renamed, and the edit history is transferred to the new name. One should not move an article by copy-and-paste, because then the edit history of the article gets left behind. When you use "move", the old title becomes a redirect page to the new title. Other links to the old title do not automatically get updated, so that needs to get done separately. One clicks on "what links here" to find out what those links are.
