Welcome edit

Hi, Rmcbroo1! You've made your first steps towards becoming a Wikipedian. Woo-hoo. Or celebrate later.

Feel free to experiment in Wikipedia as you like. Also, you can check out the help section, it covers about everything you'd want to know about Wikipedia.

Please move pages rather than copy-and-pasting them edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give User:Rmcbroo1/sandbox/Integrated Pest Management (for museums) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Museum integrated pest management. 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:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

There is one common exception: If you and only you edited the page you are copying FROM, you may either move the page or copy the page's contents. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 02:05, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
