Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Yamaha XT 225 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Yamaha XT225. 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.

Question re TVP page

Good day Drt1245. Thanks for contacting me regarding a possible COI - it comes up every so often. I put a reply on that page that I hope clarifies the COI issue, and are happy to discuss notability.

Question re TVP page

Hi Drt1245. I was doing something else entirely and bumped into your notification that I'd made a mistake on the Textured Vegetable Protein page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Quixote9 --sorry, I've forgotten how to do a wikipedia link and it's not immediately obvious :redface:). I wrote it a while ago and at this point I don't remember what I contributed. Could you point me to it? If I made a mistake, I'd like to fix it! Quixote9 (talk) 07:44, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
