I have repaired your cut and paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Some Kind of Wonderful (disambiguation) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Some Kind of Wonderful. 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) 13:31, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for fixing it. --Abderitestatos (talk) 14:01, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Turicum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Condé (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:58, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring

Hi there. I'm avoiding a Twinkle automated warning but continuing to revert multiple editors across two different pages, as you have done with Latin numerals and Latin Numerals is editwarring and a violation of WP:3RR. I would suggest you think about just BOLDLY inserting it at Roman numerals and if that doesn't take having a discussion there about the right place for this content. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:46, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I already opened a section under Talk:Roman numerals#Redirect from Latin numerals, explaining why the content of my new article should not be included in the article about Roman numerals, but so far nobody answered. --Abderitestatos (talk) 00:56, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Abderitestatos: You are also welcome to create a draft at Draft:Latin numerals, which would give you time to create the article before presenting it for review. Brad v 02:15, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this: Your reinstated article popped up for review at the new page feed. As a New page patrol (NPP) editor, I reviewed it. I have a suggestion which might further distinguish it from the Roman numerals article. Why not call the contested article, "Latin numerals (linguistics)". You could then broaden the scope to include simple Latin math expressions like "equals", "plus", "minus" etc. This would make it a great supplement to our articles on Latin language, while at the same time robustly justifying a fork from the Roman Numeral article. I'd be happy to make the required move and help out where possible with the formatting (I do not speak any Latin at all though). We can have this discussion at the article's talk page.

Regional Economics definitions

You made a (since reverted) edit Recession: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia with the explanation that "definitions are not restricted to certain countries". As a blanket statement, this is absolutely untrue. Frequently (but not only) in law and economics, different jurisdictions can and do make de jure definitions of particular terms.

As another example, the age of majority, the age at which one ceases to be a minor: in many countries it's at age 18, but others it's 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, or something else. That is clearly a "definition", and one which clearly varies by country. Sure, one can also give a broader, generic, non-specific definition for "age of majority". The two definitions exist in parallel (or as different levels of a hierarchy, if you prefer).

But the definitions from which you removed the context were not generic definitions, but specific ones.

As a general rule, when you encounter a text that gives more than one definition, and introduces each as specific to a particular context, consider that the context was given for a reason. If a particular geopolitical context were not relevant to the definition, it would not have been provided. So in the future, before you try to streamline a text that seems superfluous, take a step back and try to figure out why it is there.

Additionally, in the "recession" article, the text you changed was the result of a significant collaboration on the talk page. That discussion established consensus that you inadvertently trampled on.
