Article assistance

Hey there, and thank you again for coming to the Teahouse! Here's what I'm thinking will be the best course of action for you. The name of the article needs to be simplified to just the regular given name of the person ... in this case, Maurice Carpenter. I did a quick search and there are no other articles about notable individuals with that name, so the move would be pretty simple. If there was another Maurice Carpenter, we could still move it, but we'd need to add a "disambiguation" term, such as "Maurice Carpenter (producer)".

Now, here's where the fun begins. This individual appears to go by two other names, either as Moe Carpenter or as The Inkredibles, meaning that people might search Wikipedia using those names and not his given names, right? --McDoobAU93 19:49, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Correct. Thank you so much for this help! Luckyleftyllc (talk) 19:51, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Also, how do I change the name of the article? Luckyleftyllc (talk) 19:52, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

This is pretty complex for a newcomer, so I can make these changes for you, if you'd like. But of course, I'll tell you how and why I'm doing them, so you can do them in the future. In order to rename the article, we must move it. Now, moving is not something done on a whim; sometimes you have to discuss it with fellow editors to avoid controversy. However, since this is a new article and you're the major contributor, this shouldn't be a problem in that regard. I'm going to move the article to Maurice Carpenter. Right now it'll appear red, meaning there isn't an article with that name (yet). I'll wait for you to respond to this, so you can see what I mean, then I'll make the move. Ready? :) --McDoobAU93 19:57, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Alllll ready! *straps on seatbelt* Luckyleftyllc (talk) 19:59, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Done! Take a peek via the newly blue link!

Now, here's how I did it. Near the top of the page, you should see a "Move" link. You can click that and it will take you to a new page that shows you the current name and provides a space for you to enter the new name, along with posting a reason for the move. That reason will appear like an edit summary in what's called the "move log", which shows all page moves that have occurred on Wikipedia. You can see the log here; I moved the article at 20:00 UTC precisely (not intentionally, but still cool timing), so if other articles are moved by the time you see it, you'll find it. --McDoobAU93 20:04, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Great! Now we do the redirects? Luckyleftyllc (talk) 20:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
