We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but "Neem" was directly copied and pasted from the main English Wikipedia. Please do not do that, as such articles are usually too complex and may have templates that do not exist here. Thank you. NonvocalScream (talk) 05:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Help with complicated move
[change source]{{helpme}}
I wanted to know how to do a move. The change is from Avatara to Avatar (correct English spelling and in accord with main article). It is complicated because the correct English spelling is already occupied by a disambiguation page. (Avatar). It turns out that Avatar is the proper English language spelling of this Hindu concept according to both the Oxford Unabridged Dictionary and the New Encyclopedia Britannica (and nearly any source). Avatāra is the sanskrit form, and "Avatara" (as it is currently spelled in the Simple English article) is actually a kind of bastardization between the English and the Sanskrit. I tried moving Avatara to Avatar (to be in conformity with the Main Wikipedia Article) but got a message that the word is taken -- by the disambiguation page of course. Please let me know what to do, or how to request a move properly by an administrator. Dazedbythebell (talk) 20:04, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi there! I'm sure I can help you with this. I have moved the disambiguation page to Avatar (disambiguation) so the slot is now free. I can move the Avatara for you if you like. Just say the word and I'll move it. --Orashmatash 20:59, 10 October 2011 (UTC) I like... Animals!
- I would appreciate if you would move it. I am afraid I will mess it up. Once it is moved, I will fix the links within articles so they direct properly. Thank you Orashmatash. Dazedbythebell (talk) 15:45, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you Orashmatash! This is wonderful. I shall get to work to redirect the links properly. Thank you so very much! Dazedbythebell (talk) 18:13, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- No problem at all, that's partly what I'm here for! If you need any more help, don't hesitate to leave me a message. Regards, Orashmatash (talk) 18:16, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
