Hi Polygnotos. The two notices above are, of course, false positives, as they misinterpreted your redirection of James Atkinson (translator) to James Atkinson (Persian scholar). However, you should not have made a cut-and-paste move when you wanted to change the article title as that splits the edit history into pieces -- you should instead have moved the article to the new title. A redirect is created automatically with the move process, although if you decide that it is not desired you can delete it via WP:CSD#G7 (author requests deletion). In order to re-merge the history of your article, I requested a hist-merge via {{db-histmerge}} and that was done a couple of days ago.
Maintenance aside, thank you for creating this article. It is well written and sourced, and I enjoyed reading it. (I would suggest that you clarify the start of the second paragraph of James Atkinson (Persian scholar)#Government Gazette to indicate whether the Government Gazette "was the most widely circulated of all the English language newspapers" in Bengal, in India, or in the entire world.) I look forward to reading more of your articles. -- ToET 14:00, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
