Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Percula clownfish and pasted it into Orange clownfish. This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming articles is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. 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.

It's been fixed. An admin has moved Percula clownfish to your new title and merged the histories, leaving a redirect at the Percula name. Deor (talk) 04:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nice work on Stichodactyla mertensii

I just came across the page you made recently, Stichodactyla mertensii (in a list of pages using the old-fashioned {{ref}} citation system), and thought it was well done, and I should let you know. So, thanks for the good page, and keep up the good work. If you haven't heard of it, you might also be interested in contributing your work to Citizendium, a alternative to Wikipedia with some interesting ideas. Thanks again! 75.215.255.48 (talk) (really, User:JesseW/not logged in) 07:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Thanks for the note about the edit I made.

I don't think that the Reef restoration section is anything other than an add for the low voltage ideas on one person. The low voltage current idea has only been used on a few 'showcase' reefs outside hotels and as a show piece at confrences. If you want to include a section on reef restoration it should include many different restoration techniques not just Tom Goreau's ideas. Also it should be made clear that all reef restoration technologies as they currently stand are only economically viable on very small areas.

As for the edit of the introduction I haven't changed anything except the reef restoration section since February. So I don't mind what reverts were made there.

I will add the little rant above to the Discussion page of the coral reef page so that others can decide about the suitability of the reef restoration section.
