Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to change the title of a page by cutting 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 for registered users, 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.

Please do read the note above. This is not about what name is "right" or "wrong", it is about how we handle renaming issues (we move pages, we do not swap their contents). Materialscientist (talk) 09:03, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Manual of style of BLP portraits

Hi there,

Many of the images you've been uploading of American athletes do not meet the policy criteria for portraits to be used on biographies of living persons. Images that are low-quality screenshots, obscured or "candid" style photos, or images where the subjects face is obscured are not approriate for inclusion as BLP subjects. Check the images MOS for more details. I noticed this first from the one you added to Josh Hokit, and once I saw there were others I figured I'd mention it and let you fix it, rather than start removing a bunch without expanation or warning.
