Please stop adding a link to an article that doesn't exist. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 08:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Kampot City, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Kampot (city). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 06:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Cambodia has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Shadowjams (talk) 08:31, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Moving a page by copying and pasting its contents, as you did from Cambodia to Kingdom of Cambodia, is not acceptable, as it loses the page history. The page history must be retained, for copyright reasons. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:40, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
I am copying the following from my talk page, as I think keeping a conversation together is more convenient. Hi
Thank you for telling me. So then how can I do that as I did with Cambodia to KOC without having to be reverted back by you or someone else?

- Normally the proper way to move or rename a page is to use the "move" link. If you are using the current default Wikipedia user interface I believe that it is accessible from a little triangle at the right hand end of the row of links near the top of the page (next to the star which adds pages to your watchlist). Sometimes page-moving is not possible, most commonly because there is already a page with the name you want to move to. (Quite often this is a redirect.) In this case you can place
{{db-move|1=PAGE TO BE MOVED HERE|2=REASON FOR MOVE}}
on the page to be deleted. This asks for an administrator to delete the page which is obstructing the move, and move the other one there. However, please do include a reason. It is surprising how many editors think that an admin will delete and move pages just because some anonymous person says so, with no explanation at all. Having said all that, though, I should warn you to be cautious about moving articles until you have enough experience of how Wikipedia works to be sure your moves will be acceptable. In particular, I should point out that the Wikipedia manual of style specifies that article titles should normally use the name most commonly used in English, which is very often not the "official" name of something. For example, we have an article on "United Kingdom", not on "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", and one on "Hamlet", not on "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark". For the same reason we should have an article on "Cambodia", not on "Kingdom of Cambodia". JamesBWatson (talk) 09:18, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
