[edit] Ralph Fiennes
Hi Hc5duke. "Rafe" is a traditional British pronunciation of "Ralph"- see Ralph (name), and this quote from Mr Fiennes himself: "It's 'Rafe', actually." - Gobeirne 19:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Didn't see that in talk before, thanks for the note.

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. 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 an article 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.
In the move of the Grant Hill disambiguation page, probably the best thing to do was move the disambiguation page, then place a {{db-move}} tag on the redirect created by the move, so the Grant Hill (basketball) page could be moved. Also, because the disambiguation page only has two entries, the disambiguation hatnote on the article about the basketball player could point directly to the other article. --Snigbrook (talk) 14:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
