[edit] cut-and-paste move

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy from Madjid khaladj and paste. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself using the move link at the top of the page, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

I didn't move the article, I deleted the old article because it was basically an advert and created a new one with the correct name. AKoan 20:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Not quite. You turned it into a redirect to a new page[1] that used a little of the old content, essentially "moving" it through a cut-and-paste. Preserving contribution history is important for attributing contributions to the right sources, per the GFDL. It doesn't matter much anymore, as the article you created was deleted. I have added a proposed deletion tag to Madjid khaladj, rather than speedy deletion tag, as the old articles differs somewhat from your version. Dancter 20:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I took a little of the old content, added a little from me, and what was left was the standard wikipedia format. I'm not used with all of wikipedia formalities, but that article does not have much history on it and in the end there should be an article with the "Madjid Khalad" name.

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 14:27, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
