Text and/or other creative content from Spacetime was copied or moved into Curved spacetime on 7 September 2024. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

My main objection to the split is that authorship has been completely lost. In 2017, under my former user name of Stigmatella aurantiaca, I wrote almost the entirety of this section's text. Now there is no clue that I had anything to do with its writing. As a result of your splitting out of this section, the Authorship page for Spacetime, which previously showed 85% authorship under my former and current user names, now shows only about 70% authorship.
The loss of authorship is definitely frustrating. If you read the page Wikipedia:Splitting it will likely give you some idea about why a split was done here. I didn't see a vote or discussion on the matter, but would have voted in favor if I did. The page Spacetime currently has 10,955 words. The new page Curved spacetime is 3,115 words. According to the general guidelines about article length on the page for splitting, articles around 9,000 words "Probably should be divided or trimmed, although the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading material," and articles around 15,000 words "Almost certainly should be divided or trimmed." Unfortunately, the page for spacetime was just too long, and as it sits now could probably be edited to be a bit shorter. It sucks that you're authorship statistics are not accurately represented, but 70% is still ALOT of text. I'll add a post on this talk page that mentions the split for posterity. Edit histories are recorded, anyone interested can still look back and see what was written by who. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 03:13, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
