Search and replace in VIM results in trailing characters

Viewed 57109

This is what I am attempting to do:

%s/Article/<h2>Article</h2>/gi

Unfortunately, every time i execute this command through my vim editor, it says:

Trailing characters

To mitigate the above, I executed the following:

%s/\s*\r*$//

And it executes successfully, but when I go back to the original search and replace command, it again reads 'Trailing characters' and does not execute the search and replace operation.

What am I doing wrong here?
