Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Asian Elephant. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. --Interiot 15:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Endangered Species Act, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. LloydSommerer 22:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're listed as uploading this graph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Monthly_Troop_Deaths_in_Iraq.jpg . It's a nice graph. If you created it, any chance of an update to show the last few months? Warren Dew (talk) 15:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming articles

[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Monogamous pairing in animals a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. 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 and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. 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 articles 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.
