[edit] Cut and paste moves
Please do not move articles by using cut and paste as this does not preserve the edit history. You are correct that (as a normal user) you can't move one page on top of an existing page, you need to request that an administrator move it for you at Wikipedia:Requested moves (WP:RM). I've merged the page histories of London Underground 2005 Stock and London Underground 2009 Stock, so don't worry about it, but note it for the future. See Help:Moving a page for more (and explained better!). Thryduulf

Err, since it doesn't contravene any of the restrictions listed on that page, I fail to see why - have appealed via email. --Stalinism 11:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Users are recommended to avoid any other names that may be seen as potentially offensive, or endorsing or opposing the politics, policies or beliefs of a public figure. Please non't pretend that you don't know that "stalinism" evokes hatred in quite a few people. User name is to identify you, not to state your political affiliations. If you ever edit topics related to any kind of politics, your name will be like a red rug for a bull, which hardly be helpful for unbiased treatment of your contributions.
- Sorry, we already have enough drama in wikipedia. `'mikka 19:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Since you seem to disagree with my evaluation, I moved the issue to a broader discussion in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. `'mikka 19:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I unblocked you account so that you can continue editing for now. But I would recommend you to aply for Wikipedia:Changing username. `'mikka 20:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
