I think you were trying to correct a spelling error in Geoffrey Mcskimming. Instead of copying the page, Wikipedia lets you "move" the page, automatically redirecting it. Please click the Move Tab at the top of the page. Thanks and welcome.
However, you should remove the following text:
"When Geoffrey McSkimming was a boy he found an old motion-picture projector and a tin containing a dusty home movie in his grandmother's attic. He screened the film and was transfixed by the flickering image of a man in a jaunty pith helmet, baggy Sahara shorts and special desert sun-spectacles. The man had an imposing macaw and a clever looking camel, and Geoffrey Mcskimming was mesmerised by their activities in black-and-white Egypt, Peru, Greece, Mexico, Sumatra, Turkey, Italy and other exotic locations. Years later he discovered the identities of the trio, and has spent much of his time since then retracing their footsteps, interviewing surviving members of the Old Relics Society, and gradually reconstructing the lost true tales of Cairo Jim, which have become the enormously successful Cairo Jim chronicles."*

While quoting text can be fair use, quoting a whole paragraph is not always acceptable. It also is not the best for that Wikipedia can offer. Feel free to summarizie it, however, and cite it at the end. Donbas 22:37, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
