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. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:01, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I have repaired the problem with KDU University College by moving the initial article. I have not yet determined if this article was copied from elsewhere, although it certainly seems to have been. It is unusual, to say the least, to create a new article and, in the same move, tag it for copy-editing. Can you clarify the origin of that article? --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:08, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: 2011 Malaysian Murdering of three youth person

Hello WPSamson. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of 2011 Malaysian Murdering of three youth person, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 is only for articles "about a real person, individual animal(s), organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content" - it does not cover events like crimes. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 10:39, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

After declining your A7, I see that you are the author of the only substantial content of this article. If you want it speedily deleted, you can tag it {{db-author}} or {{db-g7}}. This may seem like nit-picking, but administrators have to be careful not to delete lightly, and I need you to confirm that this is what you want. JohnCD (talk) 11:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, JohnCD. WPSamson (talk) 12:01, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Meet-up: Editors from Malaysia

Hello! You might or might not have seen me around here as I've not been active in Wikipedia the past few months. Before leaving for NS, it was my intention to form a Malaysian user group. I'm still very much interested in forming the group. However, before forming the group, I would love to organize a meet-up between editors of the Malaysian editing community to test the waters and hear what you guys might have to say. To my knowledge, there has not been a Wikipedia meet-up in this country before. I don't mind organizing the meet-up but need to know if anyone is interested in joining the meet-up. So... please reply and let me know if you would be interested in joining a meet-up and your ideas/thoughts about a user group. Thank you.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Bejinhantalks 12:29, 15 December 2012 (UTC) (Message delivered by EdwardsBot (talk) 12:29, 15 December 2012 (UTC))

Need help with translation

Hello WPSamson. It's not uncommon that new editors add articles to the English Wikipedia that are actually not in English. So there are templated messages to notify them about Wikipedia in other languages. Usually those consist of a statement in the user's native language and the English equivalent, but there are still some templates that have only English messages. Could you please add the equivalent translation of the English message to {{Contrib-ms1}}? It should be placed above the English text. Your help would be very appreciated.

June 2013

Hello WPSamson, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Pinterest has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 16:10, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Dear Marcus Qwertyus,

After I carefully check on the Pinterest revision history on the removal of the copyrighted contents as of June 9 2013 and when I check back on the contribution that I made on August 15, 2012, based on the comparison version between August 15 and August 16, the addition of the copyrighted content was made by Socialmaven1 following the day I made the contribution. Please let me know if there is any false positive there. - WPSamson (talk) 05:46, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

You are quite right. I should have double checked the recipient of this warning. Sorry for the trouble. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 21:27, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, about your proposed project..

Just want to let you know that I have create..

• Cuba–Malaysia relations
• Finland–Malaysia relations
• Cambodia–Malaysia relations
• Egypt–Malaysia relations
• Malaysia–Palestine relations

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Software companies of Lebanon

A tag has been placed on Category:Software companies of Lebanon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!
