[edit]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Ronald Anthony Timoner. 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 for registered users, 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. --Bongwarrior (talk) 06:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Ronald Timoner, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Ronald Timoner, you may be blocked from editing. For the edit summary move the page since it has been misspelled also cannot move since the other page already exists
, first off, you simply cannot do a copy and paste move. Second of all, we don't blank the whole article and turn it into a redirect all because it is messed up or misspelled. Thanks. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 06:23, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
