Welcome to Wikipedia, Kehkou! Thank you for your contributions. I am Charlesdrakew and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type ((helpme)) at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

You added, and then redacted, a statement to the Rio Grande article that the Navajo arrived about the time of the Spanish. Fascinating, if true -- I had not heard this before and I'm from the area. What's the story there? --Kent G. Budge (talk) 14:03, 5 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Kent G. Budge The Navajo and Apache arrived in NM in the 15th century, a little before the Spanish did. As Athabascans, they likely originally came from the [Yenisei?] River basin in Siberia, then took the usual route into NA just before it got cut off by the sea. They stayed in Canada where some Athabascan tribes still live today, until a small group journeyed here a few centuries ago to become Apache (Comanche-like Athabascans) and Navajo (Pueblo-like Athabascans). They tell a version of this story through oral tradition, with their version of an origin sipapu being "somewhere up north". They are unrelated to the other American tribes which came over thousands of years ago as the Paleoindians. As a Pueblo, I jokingly (although it's true) tell my Navajo friends that "the Dine-tah (Navajo homeland) is Pueblo territory, na?". We taught them to farm; Spanish taught them to ranch. They are very good stewards of the land though; my ancestors just overfarmed and used up all the resources until it was time to pack up.

Alas, I misunderstood the sentence; It was referring to a specific period (Spanish arrival), not about the arrival of peoples in the valley in general, which is why I redacted it. However, I, too, found the fact about the Navajo interesting. Kehkou (talk) 01:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Height above sea level a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Height above mean sea level. 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. — hike395 (talk) 13:19, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A tag has been placed on Height above sea level (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Kirtland Air Force Base into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((copied)) template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Nobody (talk) 07:14, 2 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
