User:George Ho/sandbox/List of Cheers characters → List of Cheers characters. Incomplete but will expand more later. --George Ho (talk) 19:20, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- Not done This overwriting would likely be controversial. Some people would likely want the extra information to be kept. There does not seem to have been a simple cut-and-paste move here. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:06, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Template:Olympic champions artistic gymnastics Men TC was moved to Template:Olympic Champions in Artistic Gymnastics - Men's Team All-Around (2008 - 2028), then I created over the redirect. Please move the history back.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:14, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
- Not done I see no resemblance between the last edit of the moved page before the move, and the first significant edit of the new page; but I do see good resemblance between the significant edits of the moved page astride the move (the header part remained; a long list of names was deleted). There was no cut-and-paste move here that I can see. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:57, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Not done Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteers' Slough to Wikipedia talk:Dispute resolution noticeboard: (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): WP:Parallel histories and there was no cut-and-paste move. Wikipedia talk:Dispute resolution noticeboard was moved the proper way to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteers' Slough, and a new Wikipedia talk:Dispute resolution noticeboard was started over the resulting redirect. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:29, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Ni-Oh (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) & Ni-OH (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - So it looks like the article was created at Ni-Oh, and that was deleted at AfD. Then it was recreated at Ni-OH, and, huge surprise, that was deleted at AfD (well, redirected). Then it was re-recreated at Ni-Oh (video game), and somehow nobody noticed for years. I came across this because now the company has confirmed that the game will come out, and there are plenty of refs to build a proper article. Without realizing that the article was re-created, I had Ni-Oh (video game) moved to Ni-Oh, so now the 3rd version is over the 1st (deleted) version, and the second version is still at Ni-OH. The overlapping edits aren't related to content, but redirections and the like, so hopefully there isn't a problem combing the three versions. I hope that makes sense. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 21:14, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- I have doubt here. There were no cut-and-paste moves here. The redirects (which WP:Parallel histories) are parts of the histories of these pages. I have moved the deleted edits of Ni-Oh (and of its talk page} to Ni-Oh/version 1. I have moved Ni-OH to Ni-Oh/version 2. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:16, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
  - Ok, I think you're right. My confusion was the two recreated articles started with almost the exact same text, but it looks like that text is a copyvio. Thanks for looking into this. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:40, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Not done E G Trobridge to Ernest George Trobridge (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:12, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Wat Khao Wong previously referred to two temples, one named Wat Khao Wong Phrohm-majan and another named Wat Tham Khao Wong. I requested that Wat Khao Wong be split into two articles, with each article referring to one temple each. (This process was started because the coordinates for the article were confusing, given that the article was about two different places.) I haven't split a page before, so I made a bold attempt at cutting the content about Wat Tham Khao Wong out of Wat Khao Wong and pasting it into Wat Tham Khao Wong. I made a rough effort to clarify the content on each page as being solely about the temples the articles were each about. Because I created and added the relevant content to Wat Tham Khao Wong before deleting it from Wat Khao Wong, a bot placed a {{csb-wikipage}} tag on the page. I replaced that tag with a {{histmerge}} tag and realised that I should look into making sure that the appropriate edit history is copied too. I don't know how to properly split a page, so I'm requesting that someone look into whether any repairs need to be made to properly attribute the edits made to the content of Wat Tham Khao Wong. Also, if someone could give me feedback on how to properly split a page in the future, I would be very thankful. Thanks, Matt (talk) 00:15, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
- I should also note that the edit summaries for the cutting and pasting clearly link to the articles the content went to and came from. Matt (talk) 00:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
- Not done This is a text-split and cannot be handled here. See WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Amazon (fairy chess piece) should be histmerged with Amazon (chess). The article was created at Amazon (chess), moved to Amazon (fairy chess piece) while I was expanding it, and then I accidentally posted the expansion at Amazon (chess). I feel that Amazon (chess) is more appropriate as a title because (1) it is related to chess (2) it's shorter to type (3) precedents: nightrider (chess), archbishop (chess), chancellor (chess), which are all also fairy chess pieces.

MuHammad was moved to Muhammad in March 2001, the January 2001 creation at the camelcase title should be placed into the history of the current article. 70.49.127.65 (talk) 03:03, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Not done User talk:Badmachine/Archive2 and User talk:Badmachine/Archive1 to User talk:Badmachine: These are not copy-and pastes. After each talk page was moved to an archive, the talk page at its old address was restarted nearly blank for fresh discussions. There is no or very little edit continuty between these 3 pages.

Not done Acrobat.com#Adobe Create PDF to Adobe CreatePDF (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): This is a text-split: a section cut-and-pasted out of a page. Histmerge cannot cater for this. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:14, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Category:WikiProject Heroes → Category:Heroes task force. WP:HEROES is now a task force. Needs some fixing and merging. --George Ho (talk) 06:27, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- Categories can't be moved. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:31, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Not done Dendroica to Setophaga (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories after text-merge Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:39, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Media balance appears to cover the same area as Objectivity (journalism), and in fact, there has been support for a redirection of this page straight to that page (see this AFD). The article at the time appeared (Media Balance) to be a hoax due to claiming that the BBC created 'media balance' but providing no evidence that this is indeed the case (the sources provided instead talk about the Iraq War and does not mention any evidence of the creation of 'media balance'). That being said, I am happy with any information from Media Balance migrating over to Objectivity, so long as it is properly sourced and true. However, I was informed here that the history of these two pages has to be merged since the two pages do have different content. Can you please merge these two histories as soon as possible, so that "Media balance" can finally be redirected to "Objectivity (journalism)"? Thanks.--SilentScope001 (talk) 18:25, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
- I should also state that another argument in favor of redirection is that Media Balance redirects to Objectivity (journalism) with no problem, while Media balance does not redirect and have its own article.--SilentScope001 (talk) 18:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
- Not done WP:Parallel histories: discussion moved to Talk:Media balance#Whether to keep or redirect this article. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:27, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
