July 2010 edit
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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 pages 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.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Marcus Qwertyus 00:21, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Please stop attempting to copy/paste move articles. Such activity is not allowed on Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:22, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:24, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
{{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. - Vianello (Talk) 00:27, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Combat of Giants vs. Battle of Giants edit
I realize that the series of games is known by different names, but the method you were using to try to move the content of the articles to one preferred name goes against Wikipedia editing practices. See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. If you can get a consensus among interested editors about what the article names should be for the game series by discussing the issue on the article talk page at Talk:Combat of Giants, I would be happy to assist you it making all of the proper moves and redirects to whatever the consensus is. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:40, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The Plot section you added was word for word from [1]; that is not allowed as explained above. –MuZemike 02:06, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:Combat of Giants Mutant Insects Cover.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Combat of Giants Mutant Insects Cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 03:39, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
