Information icon Hi, 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 Windows 10, version 21H1. 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 for registered users, 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.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Windows versioning[edit]

Dear IP, Could you outline in one or two sentences what exactly, if anything, you would like to see changed in our coverage of the Windows versions compared to the status quo? If I understand that, I should be able to propose it properly for you, using the correct process. Felix QW (talk) 18:01, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there felix QW. Oh my, I am just seeing this. Just disregard my requests @ WP:PROPSPLIT; awesome Aasim seem to have made the necessary modifications over a month ago. I apologize for not replying punctually as I have temporarily relocated from the capital city. Also, that IP range is unfortunately blocked.102.157.214.219 (talk) 20:17, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
