Help Me

{{helpme}}

Hello,

The editing resulted in a new page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mor_ve_Ötesi) without automatically replacing the older version (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mor_ve_Otesi).

The older version was a redirection. So was a second redirection then necessary for the new edit? What to do?

Really confused!

The first thing is not to worry! You have done everything correctly as far as I can see. A redirect is a page that when clicked on, will take you to another page. A redirect page does not contain the article text, just a little bit of coding to send people on their way ;) You need do nothing to the redirect page when making an edit. Hopefully this has helped, if not, please replace the helpme template, or contact me on my talk page. Happy Editing, Tiddly-Tom 10:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you Elipongo and Tiddly Tom.

The fact is my editing has created double pages for the same topic.

Is this not a problem?

Will two pages exist, nearly identical save for a few differences, in Wikipedia?

Doesn't this challenge the query made for the topic?

How will this ever reach resolve?

Currently the page Mor ve Otesi just sends users to Mor ve Ötesi. there is only one article, just another page with a link to it. This is fine - we can have two pages, and causes no problems :-). I hope this helps Pumpmeup 08:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Pumpmeup. The edit took place. Then days later, somehow, the page reverted to its pre-edit version. The word in the first sentence should read "violet." This is the edit. However, the article currently reverts to the pre-edit word "purple." This is a common error in usage committed by new bilingual speakers. What is the next step?

Hi again. An IP reverted your change this morning [1]. If I were you, I would leave a polite message on the talk page of the article explaining why it is wrong. If no one replies, try changing it again in around a week. Hope this helps. Tiddly-Tom 07:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Hi

Hey. I have looked through the page history and can not see too much action. If there were to be over three reverts in, the three revert rule may have been breached. A citation would help as less confusion would be caused. Thanks. Tiddly-Tom 15:59, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
