Note about copy/pasting articles
[edit]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Science a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered 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, 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. Once Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences has been deleted by an administrator, Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Science can be moved (renamed) to Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences using the proper procedure described above. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 13:15, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
IC Wikisoc!
[edit]Dear Grandmainger- My name is Vinesh Patel, a 5th Year medic at Imperial. I'm trying to start an Imperial College Wikipedia society, presenting to the union by the end of the month. Would you be interested?
I got your username from the Category: Wikipedians by alma mater: Imperial College London page.
Here is a link demonstrating my work so far: http://www2.imperial.ac.uk/blog/reporter/2011/01/21/wikipedia-society/
My team and I want to get people working in groups for edits. Non-academic and academic edits would be great to work on in groups – an IC Wikipedia soc would be cool! This has already been achieved in the States but we would be the first student society in the UK. http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_student_clubs. We are also pursuing lots of other things – research into Wikipedia use, GLAM wiki stuff with local museums, using Wikipedia in teaching.
Whether you are a current student or alumnus, I think it would be great to get a community linked together from Imperial, which can give so much to the world’s free information because of the knowledge base here – and have fun doing it!
Myself and 6 other students are holding events at South Kensington campus Wed 9th and 16th; please get in touch at my talk page or e-mail to get into the movement in whatever capacity you can – you would be most welcome.Vinnypatel (talk) 01:53, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
