When page A needs to be moved to page B, and page B has significant history, what do we generally do? Do we generally prefer to trash the history and just move A to B after deleting B, or do we generally move B to Talk:B/old and then move A to B? Someone's requested that {{ Section OR}} be moved to {{ Original research section}} for consistent naming (most section-level maintenance templates are "PROBLEM section"), and I was going to move it until I saw non-trivial edits in the history of the latter template that I'm hesitant to delete. It has three deleted edits already, but they're not significant; someone created the page and pretty quickly requested its deletion. Nyttend ( talk) 01:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
I find Wikipedia impossible to decipher and need someone to write a page for me.
A real person whom I can talk to.

Just to let you know on the NCR Corporation article you put the date as 1884, but you probably meant 1984. No worries, having a great day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.5.67.100 ( talk) 06:18, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
I have been unsuccessfully trying to correct some reported date errors in citations on List_of_UK_caving_fatalities. In particular, it is objecting to the format "year=Dec–Jan 1996–1997". Any help would be welcomed. Langcliffe ( talk) 10:43, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Please can you put it across the way it was ....rather than the way it wanted to be portrayed by a few non state actors.......In your article for NathuRam Godse...the Hindu Rashtra Dal has been termed as a hindu militan organistion...which is not true..so kinldy get the facts right and re-write them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.141.106.36 ( talk) 14:52, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Is there a block evasion noticeboard? Would that fall under the auspices of the sock puppet investigation noticeboard? Dismas| (talk) 14:54, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

I really am angry and upset that every time I edit my page with info and references, within in 10 seconds someone called Mcgeddion re-edits my page every time, it's been going on for nearly over two years now and I'm sick of it.. What he writes about me is incorrect every time. I want him barred from editing my page please ASAP thank you, if he cannot be banned from editing my page I'd like my page deleted.

I forgot my password to this account, gave up and created another account, Perrys Landing, and, you guessed it, found my password about 2 seconds later. Can I get the new account deleted or merged? I'd like to keep my edit history and this user name if possible. Dr. Mike ( talk) 19:37, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
There is no User:Perrys Landing. Let me know what the name of the new account is and I will try to get it all sorted out for you. An easy way to do this is to log on with the new account and post a comment here from that account. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 19:56, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
I decided to start working on User:Ryan Vesey/Xerotine siccative again and I no longer remember what the best way to include page numbers if I'm including information from many areas of a book. I thought I remember a relatively effective way of including page numbers using {{rp}} Is that still considered to be the best way? I don't plan on using it if I only use one page from a book.

{{
tlx}}
template which will result in slightly different formatting. So, for linking the RP template the result would be either {{
rp}} or {{
rp}}

I wanted to give thanks to the Arbitration Committee for serving the encyclopaedia and the community. I went to the talk page, but it was blank.
How would one go about thanking the Arbitration Committee?
