I don't know if you saw my reply, so I will say again that ITN is not meant as a continuously updated news ticker, but a way to motivate the improvement of and highlight articles about topical subjects that are in the news. We can only post updates of articles that are successfully nominated. If you want to see faster turnover, I invite you to participate at WP:ITNC ↗, either by commenting on nominations, or making your own. 331dot (talk) 23:23, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to :Diocese of Hradec Králové ↗. When you were adding content to the page, you added duplicate arguments ↗ to a template which can cause issues with how the template is rendered. In the future, please use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find these errors as they will display in yellow at the top of the page. Thanks.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to change the title of a page by cutting 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 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.

Parenthetical disambiguation

Per Wikipedia:Disambiguation ↗, natural disambiguation is preferred to parenthetical disambiguation. I object to you moving all these articles to inconsistent article titles using parentheses. DrKay (talk) 16:00, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
