Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Mount Warning National Park 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:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. 220 of Borg 11:15, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Wollumbin National Park

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Wollumbin National Park. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Mount Warning National Park. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Mount Warning National Park – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. 220 of Borg 11:25, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks back

[edit]

I appreciate the thank you. What you did is one of the more common errors that new editors make. :-) Don't worry too much about the naming of the park for now. All that has to happen is for the current Wollumbin National Park page to be deleted, then Mount Warning National Park can be moved to the new name and the text updated to reflect the re-name.

We do need a reliable source for the change though, if you have one please let me know, or mention it on the articles' discussion page. In fact the whole page needs more sources! --220 of Borg 11:41, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did wonder about that... I might leave it for you to do and I'll know for next time :) http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/parkHome.aspx?id=N0183 Discord2000 (talk) 11:49, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done The page was deleted even before I finished my 'spiel'. I have moved it as above and updated the text. The source I found is the same one you supplied! Looking for a date for the change now. --220 of Borg 11:59, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
