I am trying to remove protect from "CrotchDuster" so I can write an article on them as they are my favorite band.


Page titles

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Viper Moray a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Mottled Conger Moray. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. 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 articles 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.

Andrew Kehoe

Well, I have thought about putting Kehoe in the school massacres section for quite a while, though was uncertain, if it would be the right choice. On the one hand, his main action, the bombing of the school, would make him fit better among the "other notable incidents", as a bombing is more like those "hit and run" types of mass murder outlined by Park Dietz. On the other hand, he never tried to get away, clearly was on a planned suicide mission, with the intent to "get even", generally fits the profile of the "pseudocommando", and shows amok-like behavior, although his means were rather unconventional.

In the end, what might be the decisive element speaking for leaving Kehoe in the school massacres section, is the fact that he bludgeoned his wife to death. And as I have categorized Zhang Yimin as a spree killer, because he used a knife to wound one person, while doing the rest of his rampage with a bus, which would make him also eligible for the "vehicular manslaughter" section, I assume it is tenable to keep Kehoe among the other school killers for this uxoricide with non-explosive weapons.

I've undeleted this article per a request at WP:REFUND. If you still feel that the article should be deleted then you are welcome to nominate the article for deletion. Also, please do not do this again. Any editor is free to remove a PROD tag for any reason or no reason at all and once that happens the game's over. The PROD tag can't be restored and the article must go to AFD. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 03:19, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair, but I wish the requesting party had brought this up during the 7++ days it was nominated. It certainly doesn't deserve the level of coverage it has now. --Williamsburgland (talk) 06:05, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedfish

Thanks for your message. I have blocked the user again. Please do feel welcome to contact me again if the trouble continues. As far as removing warnings from a user talk page is concerned, the talk page guidelines allow users to remove almost anything from their own talk pages, with a few exceptions such as block notices for blocks that are still in force. There was a time when removing warnings was not allowed, but this caused various problems, and eventually a consensus emerged that disallowing it did more harm than good. JamesBWatson ([[User
