As I understand it, editors license their work on CP on the condition of attribution, because each editor retains certain rights in their work as a part of the overall collective work. For this reason, the wiki software maintains a history of each article so that everyone can see who contributed what. When you move a page, the history for that page comes along with the move, so it is important to move the page and not just copy and paste the text of the page into a new page with a different title. So, it may be important to redo or fix what you have done with the Hunchback of Notre Dame in Paris. Many thanks for your understanding. [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 08:26, 13 August 2014 (EDT)t

::Dear PeterKa, once again you did an improper move with Ebola. We need to record who contributed what so that we can properly attribute it to them. The attribution is now on the redirect page instead of the Ebola page. Many thanks! [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 19:08, 4 January 2015 (EST)
