Completed requests

14:44, 22 June 2016‎ 138.16.128.0 contains an edit about a person named "Liu" ;

22:15, 5 July 2015‎ Jerry Efobi contains an edit about a person named "Jerry Efobi" ;

These should be separated into two different draftspace articles. "Draft:Biography" should be considered for being salted to prevent people from writing biographies at a useless pagename, and jumbling multiple biographies together. -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 05:16, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

DRAFT:Bio has the history of three separate biographies on it

14:47, 7 June 2016‎ Popular901 contains an edit about a person called "young cino"

15:33, 13 April 2016‎ 129.49.147.42 contains an edit about a person named "Dr. Srinivas Pentyal"

all other edits are about a person named "Dr. Jans Aasman"

These should be separated into three different draftspace articles. "Draft:Bio" should be considered for being salted to prevent people from writing biographies at a useless pagename, and jumbling multiple biographies together. -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 05:24, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Done 2, and I kept Draft:Biography and DRAFT:Bio in disambig-type format and protected them as "only admins can edit". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:08, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

@106.219.7.107: Not done deleted edits of Saad Orhaan to Sadh Orhan (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:28, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
List of 2009 albums (as it is currently titled) grew very large, and in February 2010 Akrabbim split the article into four articles, currently titled List of first quarter 2009 albums, List of second quarter 2009 albums, List of third quarter 2009 albums, and List of fourth quarter 2009 albums. The splitting of the article for List of albums did not match the format for the following or previous years, so I merged all four articles back into one article, the original article. However I could not move the histories over, and only now just found this function of history merge, and I am now requesting that an administrator perform the history merge action. Mburrell (talk) 21:59, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Mburrell: Not done List of first quarter 2009 albums, List of second quarter 2009 albums, List of third quarter 2009 albums, and List of fourth quarter 2009 albums are all WP:Parallel histories with each other.

Template:News reference to Template:Cite news. Although I can't see the history as the source page is deleted, the move at the beginning of Template:Cite news's history suggests there is probably older history that should be merged. Remember to maintain protection status Pppery 13:57, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Pppery: These 2 pages are very unlike and a long time gap at the requested join point; was there a cut-and-paste event there? The oldest edits of Template:Cite news look more like a new start from a stub. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:55, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
  - It seems to me like the complicated moves implied their might be some history hiding there, but, if there isn't, then reject this. Ppp ery 00:01, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Please merge Draft:Ram Point into Ram Point. I've never requested a history merge, so I'm only pretty sure this is what I'm supposed to do. :) Basically, there was a stub created as a draft and left in draft until more sources became available. The next day, someone else created nearly the same stub in articlespace (but, to be clear, it was not a copy-paste, and the person almost certainly didn't notice the draft). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 03:39, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

- @Anthony Appleyard: Actually, it was me who made the request. The page was cut&paste on 3 March, reverted on 5 March, and cut&paste again on 25 September. Does this count as parallel histories? Apart from the edits between 3 and 5 March, which would appear to be reverted, I don't think merging would break any diffs. (Just asking to make sure.) --Paul_012 (talk) 13:59, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Paul 012: Thai Premier League has history from 12:04, 10 May 2006 (started as a stub) to 11:20, 24 September 2016‎ as text; at 01:47, 25 September 2016‎ Mage2one redirected it to Thai League. Thai League was started at 07:45, 3 March 2016‎ by cut-and-paste from Thai Premier League, but that cut-and-paste was reverted to a copy-and-paste at once and it has a long edit history after that and its latest edit is at 07:10, 31 October 2016.

I believe User:Martinjohnsonuk/XSitePro needs to be merged to the deleted XSitePro page. However, I don't have permission to see revisions of a deleted page. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:43, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Not done @The1337gamer: Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare to Undead Nightmare :: Undead Nightmare (first edit 1,646 bytes) did not start as a cut-and-paste from Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare (last edit 13,504 bytes) but from a new start as a stub.

The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints_in_the_United_Kingdom mostly to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in England, but parts were also copied to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Scotland, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ireland, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Wales Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:41, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Rachel Helps (BYU): What needs to be history-merged with what? These 5 pages look very WP:Parallel histories. They look like the result of a page being split into daughter pages, and all of them much edited. The only thing to do is to put history information sections in the starts of their talk pages. History-merging is only useful where there has been a single complete cut-and-paste (not copy-and-paste). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:18, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
  - @Anthony Appleyard: Sorry, perhaps I misunderstood when a request for a history merge was necessary. My student Amgisseman sometimes used the word "merged" when she meant "copied or pasted" on September 14th. The information from the UK page has been cut, and pasted into some of the other pages. For example: this history of Ireland was pasted onto the Ireland page, as was this information pasted onto the Ireland page. This diff shows the information posted to the Wales page. Similarly, some of the information cut about England was pasted into the England page. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 15:35, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
  - @Rachel Helps (BYU):: If a page has been split into two pages by a partial cut-and-paste, and both resulting pages have been edited after that, the best thing to do is to say what happened in a history description section in the start of its talk page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 18:32, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
  - @Anthony Appleyard: We'll do that. Thanks for your advice! Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:18, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Not done Free the Children to WE Charity: page WE Charity is a new start from a stub and not a cut-and-paste. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:49, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Not done Northern Giraffe to Giraffa (asked for by {{histmerge}}) :: Giraffa has 3 edits, all redirects. No real history to merge with. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@Anthony Appleyard: It's the extensive history going back to 2005 now at Northern Giraffe that applies to the title Giraffa. I guess it's not strictly cut-and-paste, but I thought I'd indicated properly the direction for the history. There's a weird move followed by a cut and paste. History of Northern Giraffe up to this diff belongs with Giraffa. Plantdrew (talk) 21:15, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@Plantdrew: This diff is the history of Northern Giraffe astride the cut-point which you requested :: Northern Giraffe's history is continuous across that supposed cut point, and I am unwilling to cut a connected edit history. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:41, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard:. OK. The point I highlighted marked a significant change in the subject of the article. But at 8:06 9 September Northern Giraffe was copy pasted to Northern giraffe. Surely the history at Northern Giraffe needs to go somewhere else? Plantdrew (talk) 22:03, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Done @Plantdrew: I have history-merged Northern Giraffe to Northern giraffe. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Not done @Little Will: Hibernia Brewing Ltd. to Hibernia Brewing (asked for by {{histmerge}}) :: Around September 2014, one page was split into pages Hibernia Brewing Ltd. and Hibernia Brewing. To repair the history as desired, another history would have to be cut. The old dilemma when a page is split into two. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:19, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

@Anthony Appleyard: How would you recommend that I fix this? Don't want to spend a lot of time diffing and pasting, then get all my work reverted for policy reasons. Little Will (talk) 06:32, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@Little Will: Put a history information section at the start of Talk:Hibernia Brewing. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:06, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Not done @Prisencolin: Los Angeles Complexity to compLexity Gaming (asked for by {{histmerge}}) These 2 pages are very unlike at the supposed cut-and-paste point. There clearly was no cut-and-paste event between them. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:09, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- The content of Los Angeles Complexity was first merged to List of Championship Gaming Series teams after an AFD, and was expanded from there. Later I forked the content onto the compLexity Gaming page. A lot more content has been added in the mean time but it would be nice if the chain of edits had better attribution.--Prisencolin (talk) 00:42, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Not done @MrLinkinPark333: Template:Glasgow tigers roster (A) to Template:Glasgow Tigers roster (B): (asked for by {{histmerge}}): The edits in A do not match in page length where they would fit in B; more likely A was used as a sandbox to edit parts (not the whole) of B. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
The June 28, 2013 edits from Template:BC Lions roster and Template:Cincinnati Bengals roster belong to Template:Glasgow Tigers roster --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:06, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Not done @MrLinkinPark333: These were temporary copy-and-pastes from Template:Glasgow Tigers roster to the other clubs' templates, by User:Sutherland504; these edits were quickly reverted, and one of these 2 cases was described as "vandalism" by the reverter.
