Now I'm confused, what does this thread have to do with moves by Admins/Bots or people being impatient? Am I missing something? The only thing I see is a reminder that copied content needs to be attributed, and instructions on how that can (easily) be accomplished. If there's an intent to discourage some behavior or practice, it might be better to address that more explicitly. My apologies for not being more clear.

Some were copypasting content of entire pages or pieces of pages to create clones of existing articles at the intended move destination rather than being patient and waiting for the bot to properly move them so that their edit histories remain intact and the original content is properly attributed per Wikia's terms and conditions on renaming.

This is a two-fold problem because the original edit history could be lost if the action is overlooked, and it also clogs the destination address in which case the bot is unable to fulfill the move request because it cannot overwrite existing articles.
