Pickens High School (South Carolina)

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Pickens High School (South Carolina), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Pickens High School. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 21:24, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Two Schools

There is a problem to what you are doing. What you have done is a "cut 'n' paste" move, that is you have copied the content on one page, then created a new page and pasted the same content into it. This is the wrong way to go about things. "Cut 'n' paste moves" means that the page copied loses all its historical information.

What you should do is first rename the page you want to keep, and then create the new page to replace it. Now you are in the unfortunate position of having three pages, two of which have the wrong historical content. You should contact an admin who can delete the page you have created and show you how to fix the situation. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 21:34, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

how do you rename a page?Fullsinks (talk) 21:36, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

It's called a page move. However, you can't do it now because you have created a page with the name you want to move to. So you are stuck. You need an admin who can delete the page you created. Thus;

• Delete Pickens High School (South Carolina)
• Move Pickens High School to Pickens High School (South Carolina)
• Edit resulting redirect left at Pickens High School to be a disambiguation page with links to Pickens High School (South Carolina) and Pickens High School (Georgia)

I came to leave a note to the same effect but as Escape Orbit beat me to it, just to point out it might be resolved by having an admin perform a history merge on PHS(SC) to move the history over from PHS. I've submitted the appropriate request. NtheP (talk) 21:48, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

All done, so nothing further needed now. NtheP (talk) 09:39, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
