Cut and paste move

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Taj al-Arus Min Jawahir al-Qamus a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Taj al-ʿArus Min Jawahir al-Qamus. 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 for registered users, 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.

Last governor

Hey! I made a few changes on Kuyumcyan’s article. Before his governorship he held an office again in Italy briefly. Should I include this? RipperAll (talk) 06:56, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

You don’t need my permission! By all means go ahead if your additions can be verified. GusChago (talk) 08:27, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
