  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Constitution of the Athenians 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 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, 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.  LeoFrank  Talk 14:48, 26 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please do not perform a cut-and-paste move. If you believe the title is wrong and needs to be moved to a different one, please start a requested move discussion.  LeoFrank  Talk 15:15, 26 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the RM you created here. In order to get quick attention of editors who edit this topic, you can notify about the RM in the talk page of the projects Constitution of the Athenians belongs to. You can find all the projects list at the top of the talk page. Cheers,  LeoFrank  Talk 15:30, 26 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Constitution of the Athenians, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you.  LeoFrank  Talk 15:33, 26 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
