User talk:Tye422
Hi, Tye, and welcome to Wikipedia. If you take a look at the article above that you just wrote, you will see I made some formatting changes. This was just to clean up some style issues, as so to make it look like other articles on Wikipedia. I did not in any way change the content. This is a pretty darn good job for your first article, my friend. You covered notability with the references from the Knoxville paper and NPR, which is something that most first time writers don't do. All in all this was a really solid job. You can see my changes by looking here. Only one issue: The references to "higher education in texas" are not complete enough to verify. If you could get the full and proper title of the book, the author and the ISBN number, I will be happy to help you fix that cite. I am also gonna leave you a link to a help forum just for new users called the Teahouse. You can go there anytime with editing questions and someone will help you, using simple explanations that a newcomer will readily understand. The Wiki editing interface is anything but user-friendly and the Teahouse gang will help you find your way around it. In addition, feel free to drop me a note at my talk page if I can be of any assistance to you. Great work! Thanks for improving Wikipedia! Gtwfan52 (talk) 19:49, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Please avoid copy-and-paste from other pages
[edit]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ambrose Caliver a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Ambrose Caliver. 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. 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. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 03:42, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- The histories of the two pages have been merged, so all is now well. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 16:56, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
