lots of moving

You are moving a lot of articles - please try to add either WP:RS or cites in the text, where moves might not be obvious to a reader - or more thorough edit summaries, or failing that, something on the talk page. Otherwise an unusual move might be taken as WP:OR if there is nothing to substantiate. thanks JarrahTree 05:47, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

OK, thanks for saying incorrect name, but according to who? where? why? - also known as - is good in lead sentences, but it would be really great to know why the variation in mames occur, if it was possible at all JarrahTree 06:43, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

The variation in names occur due to the fact that these are all aboriginal community names, where the spelling is not always one set way. The spelling that I am using is from formal documentation written by the Department of Planning Western Australia. Would it help if I used a reference to the documentation in the 'reason' space when I move an article? PACP2016AC (talk) 03:25, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

What about DAA - do you have access to what they call them - ?? nah, better if you were to use a footnote/cite where possible JarrahTree 10:28, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

DAA mostly deals with Aboriginal sites (eg aboriginal heritage sites) which can be named differently to the communities themselves. I'll footnote the first mention of the community name in the article.

Dont forget to sign - and thanks for your reply, much closer to what wp is WP:ABOUT, and in the face of the potential issues relating to aboriginal communities in the state and federal political spheres any extra possible WP:RS or W:CITE is always of help in these sorts of articles, cheers.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Ganinyi a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:50, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi I just double checked and I did move the article, not copy and paste ((cur | prev) 06:17, 6 May 2016‎ PACP2016AC (talk | contribs)‎ m . .
