editHi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you 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 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.

- @Sro23: That explains why I couldn't find the move tab. Could you do me the favour of deleting the Krabat (novel) page for a proper move? Korn (talk) 12:00, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- ps.: Can I just overwrite the old page containing the redirect with new content then?
- I have tagged Krabat (novel) for speedy deletion so that Krabat can be moved there. Then yes, you should be able to overwrite the old page with new content. Sro23 (talk) 12:13, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Letter Ø
editYou reverted my explanatory update on Ø, claiming "Content is wrong and even if it wasn't, it would be redundant and lacking an encyclopaedic style". Let me ask you: What was wrong with my update? Can you tell me what was false or untrue? As this is a letter much used in MY alphabet, I wanted to pay attention to the fact that the letter is not an O, but a separate letter that the English speaking world misses a letter/symbol for, and still a much used sound. I am Norwegian, and I am well aware of how it sounds. What nationality are you, to erase my explanation, just because you claim it's false? OK, my mother tongue is not English, and you may have found grammatical errors in my text. If so, fix the errors, but do not erase the entire paragraph as if it was Trumpish "fake news".

- For one, you're answering your own question by saying that the English language does not use the symbol (or more precisely glyph) Ø. As the article is about the glyph Ø, information about 'not the glyph Ø' is literally the opposite of what belongs in that article. And that closes the case, really. As for the content of your section: We do have pages for sounds of œ and ø, which are the pronunciations of Norwegian Ø, and information on how these sounds are spelled in various languages can and should be retrieved there. However, and this is where your section was wrong, British English does not simply not have either the vowels [ø] or [œ]. Your Norwegian ear is confusing either [ə], [ɜ] or [ɐ] for them.
