Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Ohio Third Frontier 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. -- The Voidwalker Discuss 17:55, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Partly done:@The Voidwalker: Thank you for your reply and help. I understand that I went about this process wrong. I have requested for the Ohio Third Frontier page to be deleted so that Third Frontier may be "moved" to the new title while keeping the pages history.
I have read the instructions at the requested moves page you provided and am in the process of requesting to have the page moved. There are no other pages that I have moved by copying and pasting.
Thank you for your guidance. Mnagydevelopment (talk) 18:25, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
