I am trying to move the content of one web-page (hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer) to a new page "Lynch_Syndrome" which I have written/rewritten from the previous content of the HNPCC page. The rationale for this is that HNPCC is no longer the recognized clinical entity, and Lynch has many expressions - not just bowel CA. So, I wanted to move the content to Lynch Syndrome, cancel the extant redirect from there there to HNPCC and institute a link from HNPCC back to Lynch. Ideally I do not want to have to update two distinct pages with the quickly evolving information. Aetiologic (talk) 04:59, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think I know what's going on here. First, it does not seem to me that what you are doing is entirely uncontroversial. Therefore, the proper venue is to make a move request and start a discussion on the article's talk page. If there is consensus for the move, an administrator will perform it.

Second, never copy text from one article to another - this is known as a "cut-and-paste" move and is bad because it breaks attribution. Tim Song (talk) 05:08, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Template:Requested move/dated is not for moves from user space, see Wikipedia:Articles for creation (use {{subst:submit}} instead), or move it yourself

It has been proposed in this section that User:Aetiologic be renamed and moved to Lynch_syndrome.
This proposal is for a cross-namespace move from User to (Main/Article) namespace.

A bot will list this discussion on the requested moves current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil.

Please use {{subst:requested move}}. Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly.

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer → NewName — - [

I'd like to suggest that we make several changes here:

Numbered list item turn HNPCC into a stub (more or less)
Numbered list item Stop the redirect from Lynch Syndrome
Numbered list item) Revise most of the content of the current HNPCC page to read "Lynch"
Numbered list item Put a link from HNPCC to Lynch.

My rationale is simply that Lynch is the underlying disorder and the new potential therapies for Lynch may have applicability outside of colon cancers. So, I think Lynch should be the single point of entry and it should be predominant over HNPCC. The goal here is to drive HNPCC traffic back to Lynch.

I have created a draft page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynch_syndrome (note the small S) where I have redrafted the HNPCC content. Apparently this violates Wikipedia attribution rules, which I wasn't intending to do, but it gives an idea as to the preservation of content. ]
