Not done Mary White (Green Party politician to Mary White (Green Party politician) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:02, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard: Did you delete the other page then? It looked good for a histmerge to me but I would have been content to tag it as an {{R from merge}} since that's effectively what it was. PC78 (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
Not done KCKN (defunct) to KDTD WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:54, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
Not done Draft:Colors Kannada to Colors Kannada WP:Parallel histories — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:06, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
@PC78: Not done Kiss & Tell Tour (Selena Gomez & the Scene) to Selena Gomez & the Scene: Live in Concert These 2 pages are about different tours. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:38, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard: Please look again and compare the tour dates, these are not distinct tours. PC78 (talk) 14:05, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @PC78: Kiss & Tell Tour (Selena Gomez & the Scene) starts "The Kiss & Tell Tour is the second concert tour by American pop rock band ..."; Selena Gomez & the Scene: Live in Concert starts "The Selena Gomez & the Scene: Live in Concert was the debut concert tour by American pop band ...". The history of Selena Gomez & the Scene: Live in Concert would all fit after the history of Kiss & Tell Tour (Selena Gomez & the Scene), but the two articles are very different at the apparent cut-and-paste point. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:01, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard: They aren't substantially different, but on closer inspection it appears that Kiss & Tell Tour (Selena Gomez & the Scene) and Selena Gomez House of Blues Tour were essentially merged into a new article at Selena Gomez & the Scene: Live in Concert by Itsbydesign on 3 January 2011. If you don't feel any further action is required that's fine, but I'll restore the redirect since that article isn't a separate topic. PC78 (talk) 22:25, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @PC78: I have put a history information section in Talk:Selena Gomez & the Scene: Live in Concert. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 03:52, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
@Zeromonk: Not done Draft:UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Education to Talk:UNESCO King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa Prize (asked for by {{histmerge}}) (asked to history-merge an article page into a talk page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:54, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

@Let There Be Sunshine: Not done Ambukuthi mala to Ambukuthi Mala (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories (done as plain move) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:43, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
@Legacypac: Not done User:Finnegas/Cummin Clancy irish Athlete to Cummin Clancy (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:25, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Merge the history of Cristina Marchetti to M. Cristina Marchetti. Editor created the second article, then created a redirect (the first article). Then the editor redirected the second article to the first article, and cut and paste the material into the first article. However, another editor had edited the second article, so the cut and paste lost attribution. Once the histories are merged, a decision needs to be made about which is the more appropriate name for the article. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:37, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
I have moved your request to the correct section. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 03:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Onel5969 and GeoffreyT2000: Not done WP:Parallel histories. At 11:28, 4 March 2019‎ User:Onel5969 changed the cut-and-paste into a copy-and-paste. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Rejected requests February 2019

@Legacypac: Not done User:Brambleberry of RiverClan/sandbox/Survivors to Survivors (novel series) (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 00:40, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
@2601:584:100:e310:ac:4eac:e56b:2c4c: Not done Shades of gray to Timberwolf (color) (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories (asked for history-merge after text-split :: obeying this would cut one edit history in order to rejoin another edit history) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:45, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Not done Draft:Multiple Natures to Multiple Natures (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:35, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Not done User:Boscoj/John E.Doyle to John Doyle (RAF officer) (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:31, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
@Bsherr: Not done Wikipedia:How to edit a page/HowDoesOneEditaPage to Help:Editing WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:08, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
@Anthony Appleyard:. I think you must be mistaken. There is no parallel history between these two pages. There does appear to be some missing history, but once we find it, we can merge it too, later. --Bsherr (talk) 15:27, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Bsherr: Wikipedia:How to edit a page/HowDoesOneEditaPage has well over 5000 edits. Its first edit is "02:58, 12 November 2001‎ AxelBoldt (talk | contribs | block)‎ . . (11,925 bytes)". Help:Editing has 9 redirect edits, and one text edit (its first edit) "03:43, 14 February 2001‎ LarrySanger (talk | contribs | block)‎ m . . (1,018 bytes) +1,018‎", which is very different from the first edit of Wikipedia:How to edit a page/HowDoesOneEditaPage, and clearly there was no cut-and-paste event between them. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:10, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
  - @Anthony Appleyard: You've got them reversed, but yes. Like I said, there is history missing between February and November 2001. It must be on another page, but I can't find it. But it's clear that there was a cut-and-paste move. There is obvious overlap between the pages. Once we find the missing history, we can add it in, but for now, Wikipedia:Copyrights requires that Help:Editing be attributed to the 14 February 2001 edit, and the best way to do that is by history merge. That revision is also the only substantive history preventing deletion of that page. --Bsherr (talk) 16:38, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Bsherr: Wikipedia:How to edit a page/HowDoesOneEditaPage has well over 5000 edits, and I am not a steward, so I can't temporarily delete it for my old usual method of history-merging. All I can do here is to use Special:MergeHistory to attach one history to the start of another. So I will have to attach the missing history (when you find it), and THEN the history of Help:Editing, to the start of the edit history of Wikipedia:How to edit a page/HowDoesOneEditaPage. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:39, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Please mark the request below as {{not done}} and move it to the rejected requests section. I am now withdrawing this request. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 01:52, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
The following 4 revisions in the history of Hugo Award appeared to be about the 2005 winners, and so should be moved to 2005 Hugo Award winners, which should then be immediately deleted:
- 22:44, 5 August 2005 by Dieseldrinker
- 22:56, 5 August 2005 by Dieseldrinker
- 23:07, 5 August 2005 by Petroldrinker
- 12:20, 6 August 2005 by El-socko
- GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 19:59, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- @GeoffreyT2000: In the history of Hugo Award, these edits are each immediately followed by a "revert vandalism" edit. These 4 edits are a regrettable but real part of the edit history of Hugo Award, not extraneous matter which somehow had got history-merged in. (The edit "01:53, 6 August 2005‎ by User:164.67.230.77" may belong with this series.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:39, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- @GeoffreyT2000: If I remove these 4 (5?) edits, the "revert vandalism" edits will be left with nothing to refer to, thus confusing people who may read through the history after. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:14, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Rejected requests January 2019

@Joshua Issac: Not done Transatlantic Free Trade Area to Transatlantic Free Trade Area; WP:Parallel histories; this seems to be a history-merge request after a text-merge. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:40, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
@Wtfiv: Not done Jordan-Pooley-Farrar affair to Cecily Jordan Farrar: Jordan-Pooley-Farrar affair has only one edit, which is a redirect: at 23:54, 21 January 2019‎ it was moved to Cecily Jordan v. Greville Pooley dispute. Jordan-Pooley-Farrar affair and Cecily Jordan v. Greville Pooley dispute are WP:Parallel histories, and their texts are very different at any supposable cut-and-paste point. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:01, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
@Dwanyewest: Not done Daredevil: The Man Without Fear to Daredevil: Man Without Fear (asked for by {{histmerge}}) :: No cut-and-paste event here. Daredevil: Man Without Fear's edit history is all redirects. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:07, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
