Done Denmark mens national softball team to Denmark men's national softball team (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:54, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
With regard to the page insertion reaction, in this edit user:MichChemGSI has cut-and-pasted from this sandbox of User:Chem507f10grp3 to article space. This is a problem as MichChemGSI seems to be the instructor of CHEM507, and it is the students who actually wrote the new version. As such, MichChemGSI can't irrevocable release the contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL as it isn't his to release. Can the sandbox history be moved and replace the existing post of MichChemGSI and thereby correctly attribute the contribution? EdChem (talk) 16:23, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Done Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:29, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
  - OK, thanks - now the history is merged which is good, but the article is back in user space, which isn't so good. Could you now move the sandbox article with all of its history to the page insertion reaction, over the current article, so that the new version from the students is displayed with all of the history intact and the old article is also available in history? Am I making sense? Sorry, I am not experienced with this kind of problem. EdChem (talk) 00:09, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Done as plain move; the old short version is now in Insertion reaction/old version, to avoid WP:Parallel versions. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:10, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Done CS2D to Counter-Strike 2D (asked for by {{db-histmerge}} Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:08, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Taktsang Dzong back to Paro Taktsang. In April the article Paro Taktsang was moved to Taktsang Dzong with the rationale "4 times the google hits as this" However I get 65,100 google hits for “Paro Taksang” or "Paro Taktsang" but only 6,980 for “Taksang Dzong” or "Taktsang Dzong" - so the rationale used for that move seems flawed. In Bhutan, where I live, this monastery is popularly known as "Paro Taktsang" not "Taktsang Dzong" (it isn't even a "Dzong" in the usual sense of the word) - so I think this article needs to be moved back to Paro Taktsang. I think this needs administrative help. Thanks. Chris Fynn (talk) 16:49, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- Done as plain move, as page Paro Taktsang and its talk page had nothing to histmerge. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:14, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Death panel to Death panels (political term) -- the talk pages also need to be merged. I recommend that the discussions on the old talk page remain visible after the merge on the new talk page. 65.93.13.227 (talk) 06:12, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
- Done the articles. Not done the talk pages; I moved Talk:Death panel to Talk:Death panels (political term)/Archive 1 and archiving-tagged both talk pages. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:47, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Requests rejected

Rejected requests December 2010

Not done User:Ryno Coetzee/sandbox to Khomasdal (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): WP:Parallel histories. Done as plain move, and old Khomasdal moved to Khomasdal/version 2. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:29, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Not done Talk:Cylinder block to Talk:Engine block (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): there is nothing to histmerge with at Talk:Engine block. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Not done INSAT 3B to INSAT-3B (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:19, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
"The Duncan Banner" and "Duncan Banner". a) Original (w/leading article) created Feb 19 '07. b) Unintentional content fork created Feb 25 '10. c) User conducted (good faith) cut & paste "merge" without attribution: Dec 10th here, then posted merge request at WP:PM.
Desired end result title: "Duncan Banner", single history. Is it possible to do this with move/histmerge/restore procedures, rather than just {{copied}} talkpage templates? –Whitehorse1 06:58, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- Not done WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
  - Yes I'd read that. Followup question: The user who migrated the content (not me), moved it into the newer page. (There've been no further edits to the original since it was tagged for merging, and no further edits to the more recent article (that had the preferred title) since the c+p merge.) Wouldn't it be better on pages that do not have a complex history to histmerge so the first edit on the live page is the earliest? –Whitehorse1 12:30, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Not done User:Jimpeoples/WorksInProgress/John p Healey and User:Jimpeoples/Apollo/John p Healey to John P. Healey: WP:Parallel versions between all 3. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:56, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Not done n/a to Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy/Article alerts/Header (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): these 2 pages have no relation to each other. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Glenn Toby to User:Only1diamari/Glenn Toby (was submitted by {{db-histmerge}}), but is this sort of move supposed to be done? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:23, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
- I may have erred in my initial tag, but to clarify the final location for the merged history should perhaps be Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation. Then we can properly review the submission. Thanks. My76 Strat 18:51, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
- Not done: This creation request was rejected: see Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Glenn Toby. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:47, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Not done U-Kiss to Only One (U-KISS album), U-Kiss to U-KISS, U-Kiss to Kevin Woo: (asked for by {{db-histmerge}} but they were ghost requests because they transcluded Template:U-KISS, which contained a histmerge request.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:34, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Not done Template:U-Kiss to Template:U-KISS (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:30, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Rejected requests November 2010

Please WP:HISTSPLIT Ryan McKenzie to move the current content to Ryan McKenzie (actor) and restore the original redirect to Ashley Massaro.
