[edit] Cut and paste page moves
Hi there. I believe you are the same person as The Arc of Fame, Good & Bad, Cockadoodle etc. Please stop moving pages by cutting and pasting. This causes the entire edit history of the page to be lost. Why do you keep ignoring my, and other Wikipedia users, messages about this issue? If you continue this practice you may be blocked from editting Wikipedia. (A block ban be implemented against an IP address so that registering a new account would not get you around the block.) So if you want to continue to edit pages here on Wikipedia I urge you to stop moving pages by cutting and pasting and use the "move" link at the top of every page. Please reply here so that I can at least see that you are not just blindly ignoring every comment directed towards you. Qutezuce 05:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Why do you keep doing cut-and-paste moves after all these messages? Doing a proper move is EASIER then cut-and-paste. Every move that you make by cutting-and-pasting gets undone in short order and makes it harder for someone to move the page to the location you tried to move the page to (an admin must do it after you mess things up with a cut-and-paste move, whereas if you did it properly in the first place no admin would be neccessary).
