-	I created a page called Story3. Then I copied it to "Language Instructors & Elephants" back in November 2007 and put in a redirect in the Story3 page to the new page. Today, I went into edit part of it. When I saved it it shorted the page to "Language Instructors" and said it did not exist. I was able to use the back arrow on my browser and copy the contents to a text file. I logged back in as Admin ran into the same thing when I tried to edit the page. Then I created a page Language Instructors Elephants and pasted the text file. Weird. Must be this wiki does not like ampersands in the title or I did something when I copied or moved the original story3 page. --[[User:Rcollman\|Chris C.]] 10:21, 31 December 2007 (EST)	+	===Time Outs - Losing work ===
