Plasma lamps
[edit]Hi, I moved the material you added on plasma lamps to Plasma lighting for now, so that we could restore the overwritten article on novelty plasma lamps. I see that you copied the text and pasted it to Novelty plasma lamp, but this is not the right way to do it. Pages must not be moved by copying and pasting their contents, because this breaks the link between the text of the page and Wikipedia's log of its edit history. Besides being an important tool for editors, the history logs are a legal requirement for copyright and licensing purposes. Instead, the Wiki software provides a mechanism for moving pages that keeps the article and its associated talk page and edit history together. We also have to make sure, if the article is moved, that other articles that link to it are adjusted to link to the new location (assuming they related to the novelty lamps, of course).
If you feel that the plasma lighting article would be best moved to plasma lamp, let's discuss it at Talk:Plasma lamp. We can come to agreement on the best titles for both articles, and then get them moved the right way. In the meantime, feel free to keep working on the article at Plasma lighting; any changes you make will be preserved if/when the article is moved.--Srleffler (talk) 06:09, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Luxim. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Zhang He (talk) 18:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
