Wikipedia:Requests for history merge/Archive 1

This page was originally for listing cut and paste moves which could not be repaired due to a then-extant technical limitation. The limitation has since been removed, but this page is still available if you find a cut-and-paste move, and are not able to repair it yourself (There is a procedure for doing it, but 1. only admins can do it, and 2. it's a bit tricky).

Currently the only technical limitation is that category and image description pages can't be moved.

Admins: please read Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves and Wikipedia:Moving guidelines for administrators.

The procedure

• Place a {{db-histmerge|NAME OF PAGE THE ARTICLE WAS CUT FROM}} template at the new location of the article which has been moved through cut and pasting, i.e. on the article where the pasting was done.
• If the issue is clear-cut (straight up cut and paste move to a better title), having this speedy delete tag on the page should be enough. In more complex cases (explained at Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves), please leave a description of the problem under the "Repair requests" section.
• An admin will look the pages over and perform whatever tasks are necessary.
• Once this is done, the admin will post the result here.
• Old requests will be removed after 30 days.

Repair requests

Please add new requests to the top of the New Requests section. Thanks.

New requests

• Merge Talk:List of events named massacres/Archive 6 and the other the talk archive histories of Talk:List of events named massacres into the history of Talk:List of events named massacres. This article is tagged as a controversial topic and it may be important to be able to search for past edits to the talk page by one or more users. See Help:Archiving a talk page#Move procedure -- Suntag (talk) 18:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hrm, since this began way back in 2006 when neither method was discouraged, it probably requires a talk page consensus to merge the histories back into the main talk page of the article. –xeno (talk) 19:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

• An old one that needs special action as there are over 5000 revisions, so I have not tagged articles. Revisions of Apple 12 June 2003 and earlier are revisions for the dab page at Apple (disambiguation) and should be moved and merged there. Revisions of Apple (fruit) 30 June 2003 and earlier (all apart from today's cut & paste attempt) are the early revisions for Apple and should be merged there. Keith D (talk) 11:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
  • I tried to delete page Apple temporarily to history-split off its first 8 edits (the disambig edits) as the start of this job, and I got a fault page showing "This page has a large edit history, over 5,000 revisions. Deletion of such pages has been restricted to prevent accidental disruption of Wikipedia." in red. Leave it and merely put notes in the affected pages' talk pages to explain the cut-and-pastes? Or what happens? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

• There was a {{db-histmerge}} request to histmerge Kevin Jonas into Kevin Jonas (singer). But these 2 files seem to have separate histories:
  • On 7 March 2008 Kevin Jonas was text-merged into Jonas Brothers, and since then was redirects and occasional copy-and-pastings in from Kevin Jonas (singer).
  • Kevin Jonas (singer) seemed to be a new start on 24 July 2008, perhaps text-split from Jonas Brothers.
  • I moved Kevin Jonas to Kevin Jonas/version 2, and Kevin Jonas (singer) to Kevin Jonas, and their talk pages along with them.
  • Kevin Jones proved to have some old deleted nonsense edits, which I undeleted and moved to Kevin Jonas/facetious edits and re-deleted, and with them the corresponding edits of its talk page, to get them out from under the good edits in this complication.
    • Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
  • While the histories do appear to be different, there have not been any overlapping histories. Here's a history of what happened. First, Jonas Brothers was created. Then, Kevin Jonas (now Kevin Jonas/version 2) was created. Several times, the content of Kevin Jonas was deleted and the article was redirected - not merged - back to Jonas Brothers, until Kevin Jonas (now Kevin Jonas/version 2) was fully protected. Then, an article on the subject was re-created again, but this time at Kevin Jonas (singer) (now Kevin Jonas), because the other article was protected. This "new" article contained content from both the old protected/deleted article and Jonas Brothers - it was not just a split from Jonas Brothers, nor was it a true fresh start. Because there has never been overlap between the current Kevin Jonas and Kevin Jonas/version 2, the histories of these articles should be able to be safely merged. I figure it is better to have all of the histories regarding one subject in the same article, rather than split between two articles - especially in this case where there are no overlapping content edits. --Scott Alter 16:30, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

• Mid-State Conference of Indiana copied to Mid-State Conference (IHSAA). Is this one too tangled? Complications: When 1st page went to AfD, author created new page under new desired naming scheme. 1st article survived and edit histories overlap from AfD closure and later cleanup. Noticed from cut-and-paste content transfer today. • Gene93k (talk) 21:59, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Done. I moved Mid-State Conference of Indiana's edits before the cut-&-paste to Mid-State Conference (IHSAA), the rest to Mid-State Conference (IHSAA)/version 2. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

• Baw game of Scone, originally an article on the village of Scone was rewritten in November 2006, with a new Scone being created, and the old Scone being split. The history of the old village article is contained in "Baw game of Scone". So the history of "Baw game of Scone" up to November 2006 should merge into the current village article, with the current article "Baw..." having history start in November 2006. The entirety of the Baw talk page only concerns the village, not the current contents, so it should somehow merge into the current village talk page...70.51.11.219 (talk) 05:40, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Canadians of Indian descent to Indo-Canadians. Somebody asked how to merge talk pages at Wikipedia:Help desk#How to Merge a New Talk Page with an Old Talk Page.

 Done merging histories of the two articles. The talk page histories can't be merged though, because there wasn't a cut&page move in the past, and there have been new changes to Talk:Indo-Canadians. I moved the old talk to an archive of the new talk page, so it's currently at Talk:Indo-Canadians/Archive 1. --PeaceNT (talk) 13:59, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

• singeing from singe. This isn't a cut&paste move repair, it's an article merge that should have a history merge done as well. The content of singe and an earlier version of singeing are related, and "singeing" is a better title than "singe" for all of the content. Singeing is presently a redirect to heatsetting; I'll overwrite that to the current revision of singe after the merge is performed, as "singeing" and "heatsetting" are not synonymous.--Father Goose (talk) 22:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

It has now been moved back to HD 17156 b in a cut and paste move.

  • These two pages have separate histories: one is not a copy-and-paste move of the other.
    • Comic Sylph existed from 03:19, 13 April 2007 to 10:19, 17 October 2007, when it was merged into something, and since then has been redirected twice more.
    • Sylph (magazine) started at 07:40, 10 May 2008, apparently a new start, as it was and is very unlike Comic Sylph was. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
      • It's not so unlike what it was. Comic Sylph before it was merged may have had a smaller number of serialized titles, a smaller lead, and no infobox, but since Sylph is just Comic Sylph with a new title, I thought that the histories should be merged since the only thing that changed about the magazine was it's title (and the fact that it went from a quarterly publication to bimonthly).--十八 11:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

• They've co-existed for a bit now, so not entirely sure if they can be usefully hist-merged, but most of the history of much of the content is at the wrong title, so I'm hoping someone that enjoys the challenge of the more complicated cases can figure out how to get as much as possible fixed. St. Joseph College Cavite City (the correct title, at least as far as not having the 's) has a few stand-alone edits, mostly in Feb-March 2008, then a big import fairly recently from St. Joseph's College Cavite City (in existence since Sept 2006) here. Shawisland (talk) 04:03, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • The new matter that was put in St. Joseph College Cavite City at this editing did not come from the then-current edit of St. Joseph's College Cavite City, as this editing shows. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Argh. My bad--such a big chunk of text I assumed (should have checked) it came from the other article. Apparently that same chunk of copyvio from http://www.eskwelahan.net/news/?p=1004 was added to both articles within about a day of each other. Sigh. Looks like the actual content move happened Feb 5 from this to this, which it's basically back to after removing all the copyvio added earlier this month. Shawisland (talk) 05:34, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Hereinafter X means St. Joseph's College Cavite City and Y means St. Joseph College Cavite City.
  • Uhh. It seems that on 5 Feb 2008 User:Pilipinaskabite cut-and-paste moved X to Y, leaving X blank. Then in the same minute the bot User:ClueBot reverted the blanking as suspected vandalism, converting the cut-and-paste into a copy-and-paste, producing parallel versions. After that X was edited 24 times (not counting a redirect to Y).

  • Braun Racing has 3 deleted edits: the first of these is a stub article dated 19:32, 11 November 2005, and the other two are redirects to Akins-Braun Racing and Akins-Braun Racing, all 3 being by User:D-Day.

        • What happened was that Braun Racing purchased Akins Motorsport. Unfortunately when the pages were merged, Akins Motorsports was turned into main article when it should have been the redirect. The original Akins edits need to be split off into their own article so that page can be expanded about its pre-merge history. The intital few edits made to Braun Racing should be restored as the start of that article. Right now, the wikipedia article for Braun Racing is actually older than the team itself. -- Cmjc80 (talk) 22:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

*Italian Empire → Italian Colonial Empire

• • Hello. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, but recently User:The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick cut and pasted the content from Italian Empire to Italian Colonial Empire. There was no consensus to this, unlike his rejig article - see talk may suggest. I assume he tried to move it but was blocked to do so. However, by moving the content, most of the history of the article is now virtually lost, or at least hard to find. I'd revert those The real problem is that he has also heavily changed the content of the article (tho the size has limitedly increased) with over 50 edits, so I honestly do not know what to do. Hope you can help me. --Do you know me?...then SHUT UP!!! _{Sarcasm is beauty} 01:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Apologies for the move c**k up, but lest my intentions be misunderstood from the above comment, I am an active editor in the European empire article space, and have spent a great deal of time cleaning up and improving them. Having recently spent a great deal of time with others on the Dutch Empire article, I turned my attention to the Italian Colonial Empire one. I hope that anyone considering the "revert" proposed above takes the time to read the old [5] and new [6] versions. At least the article is in a half decent state now, instead of a jumbled hodge podge of unsourced, duplicated or irrelevant information. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick ^t 02:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
      • I rectified my move by doing the following. What existed at Italian Empire was moved, pre-my-edits, to Evolution of the Italian Empire. The Italian Colonial Empire article now contains my edits, which are basically a new article. At least that way the histories are preserved better. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick ^t 02:13, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  Please ignore all this, at least for now. Thanks Do you know me?...then SHUT UP!!! _{Sarcasm is beauty} 03:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• In Harold Nicolson page, I wanted to enter a References in Popular Culture item, but did not see that heading, so I opened the References item, added my reference, renamed the item in the item title window below to "References in Popular Culture", checked it and saved. Returning to the page, I noticed that the original References item has totally disappeared, so I tried to add it back in by simply appending it to the References in Popular Culture item, but it does not seem to relink the two items which were there before. Can this be recovered? 17:15, 18 May 2008 User:72.69.134.132

  from 15:49, 24 September 2005 on filament (astronomy), to June 2006, the galaxy filament section received no changes, until the article was rebuilt by user:smack as a dab. The contents from start to 24 sept 2005 needs to be attached to filament (cosmology), where it was rewritten, and then cut-and-pasted to the galaxy filament article, so the history ultimately needs to end up at galaxy filament. However, since nothing was merged anywhere from the dablinks to the dabbed articles when user:smack rebuilt the article, the entire history up to June 2006 user:smack's edits can be merged, since they did not affect the other articles being dabbed, only galaxy filament. 70.55.88.176 (talk) 04:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • This compare seems to show that over the day of the supposed cut-and-pastes (14 August 2006) no bulky text was removed from page Wood Brothers Racing; this may to be a case of copy-and-paste, not cut-and-paste. This compare seems to show that the edit moving text from Wood Brothers to Wood Brothers Racing was a partial cut-and-paste, not a complete cut-and-paste leaving only a redirect. Best merely put a note in one or more of these pages' talk pages explaining who had done what? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • The histories need to be reconstructed into complete histories. What I've proposed above will do so with very litte to no overlap. Similar reconstruction was previously applied to Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing and Yates Racing. A major problem here is that as it stands now, the Wood Brothers Racing page started as a completly different article. The edits made to Wood Brothers Racing prior to August 14 2006 need to be moved to JTG Racing so both have accurate histories. Once that is done, the edits to Wood Brothers prior to August 14 2006 need to be moved to Wood Brothers Racing and two seamless histories will be created. -- Cmjc80 (talk) 01:04, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

    • 16:00, 14 August 2006 (The two teams have merged): User:D-Day moved JTG Racing to Wood Brothers/JTG Racing the proper way, leaving a redirect.
    • 16:06, 14 August 2006: User:D-Day cut out of Wood Brothers much text, leaving Wood Brothers as a stub, which after that was edited.
    • 16:15, 14 August 2006 (merged articles, see talk): User:D-Day inserted (somewhat edited) into Wood Brothers/JTG Racing the matter cut from Wood Brothers.
    • 23:17, 24 September 2007 User:Scjessey moved Wood Brothers/JTG Racing to Wood Brothers / JTG Racing.
    • 19:37, 9 October 2007: User:D-Day moved Wood Brothers / JTG Racing back to Wood Brothers/JTG Racing.
    • 14:46, 13 January 2008 (team has split from the Wood Brothers): User:D-Day changed JTG Racing from redirect to paragraphs cut-and-pasted from Wood Brothers/JTG Racing, with a leading paragraph got from somewhere else (from 16:00, 14 August 2006 edit of what is now Wood Brothers Racing??).
    • 22:52, 13 January 2008: User:Anthony Appleyard obeyed a request to move Wood Brothers/JTG Racing to Wood Brothers Racing, which before that was redirects; those old redirects are now in Wood Brothers Racing oddments
    • 06:57, 27 February 2008: User:Dhartung changed Wood Brothers into a redirect to Wood Brothers Racing.

• The Italian Job and The Italian Job (1969 film) - Today User:Australiaaz performed a cut and paste move (something that they have already been warned about before) of this film and turned the original page into an incomplete disambiguation page. Now the thought behind this isn't necessarily a bad, but, I think as it stand it needs some fixing as edit histories and talk pages are all messed up. I took a look at it but I am afraid that I might make things worse. Please note the naming conventions for films at the Wikipedia filmproject would, in this case, name the film page as The Italian Job, or at most The Italian Job (film). We don't start putting in years until you get to a remake as in The Italian Job (2002 film). When you have chosen a solution to the current situation then someone can create a proper disambiguation page for this set of films and games. Also this editor may need a firmer warning so that they don't keep making the same mistake. Thank you, in advance, for your time and attention in this matter.

    • The history of these pages' talk pages is similar.
  • It seems that:
    • Morph (comics) is a parallel file which was finally merged into Changeling (Marvel Comics) (which is now Kevin Sydney)
    • Morph (Marvel Comics) as it exists now is a recent content fork created by copy-and-paste from some old version of one of the above pages, over a redirect.
  • I see no need for a histmerge, only for a note in a talk page about what happened. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Please take a closer look at the edits. The page that existed at Morph (comics) until Sept 14 2007 was pasted onto the Morph (Marvel Comics) redirect on Jan 28 2008. Its a continuation of the exact same article. The only overlapping edits are junk redirect/double redirect corrections mostly made by bots. These should absolutely be merged.

• Noughts & Crosses series → Noughts & Crosses Trilogy ; Talk:Noughts & Crosses series → Talk:Noughts & Crosses Trilogy ... Back in January, a user cut-and-pasted the text of the "series" page to a new "Trilogy" page. I reverted it at the time but it seems this user undid that without me noticing, and so other users have been contributing edits to the cut-and-pasted Trilogy page since then. The original talk page was not cut-and-pasted but was left at its old location, and new discussion has taken placed at the Trilogy talk page, so these need to be merged as well. Also, because the series already consists of three novels and a novella with a fourth novel to be published later this year, the merged article should to be moved to its original location of Noughts & Crosses series or to Noughts & Crosses (series).

• Chiropractic school → Chiropractic schools - On 22 October 2006, Chiropractic school was cut and pasted to Chiropractic schools. Unfortunately, this is not that simple. On 23 March 2007, Chiropractic schools was then copied back to Chiropractic school and there were two parallel articles until 26 November 2007, when Chiropractic school was redirected back to Chiropractic schools. During the time of parallel articles, no new content was added to Chiropractic school; however the edits made that should not be merged with the main article, since the main article did have significant modifications. My suggestion would be to delete the edits to Chiropractic school made after 23 March 2007, and then merge the two articles. --Scott Alter 08:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
  •  Done, but I thought that Wikipedia rules would specify the singular. (The edits made to Chiropractic school after the cut and-paste are in still Chiropractic school.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
    • I agree that the current title of the article is appropriate. Someone tagged Chiropractic education recently for merger with Chiropractic schools. There have been no comments so far, but I have just started a discussion at Talk:Chiropractic education. If they want to merge the articles, I'd recommend keeping Chiropractic education and renaming Chiropractic schools to List of chiropractic schools. I'll stay involved with these articles and make sure the plural Chiropractic schools is renamed to something appropriate per the MOS. --Scott Alter 08:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

On January 8 an editor replaced the redirect at What Time Is It? (album) with a cut-and-paste from What Time Is It?. The same editor then created the page What Time Is It? (disambiguation) and redirected What Time Is It? to it.

• University of Florida College of Medicine and College of Medicine at the University of Florida. This isn't really a copy and paste, but I think should still be history merged. The actual name of the school is University of Florida College of Medicine. This article is currently a redirect to the University of Florida, but has 2 prior edits with content about the medical school. Two days ago, a new article about the same topic was created at College of Medicine at the University of Florida. Since these are about the same entity, should redirect to each other, and have no overlapping edit histories, I think they should be merged. The article should be at "University of Florida College of Medicine," but this is not possible without first deleting (or history merging) the existing article at University of Florida College of Medicine.

• List of Neon Genesis Evangelion topics to Template:Neon Genesis Evangelion. The navigation template replaced the navigation list in 22 Jan 2006, so the history before that date should merge into the template, as the historical predecessor to the template. 70.55.85.122 (talk) 06:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
  • They've both existed separately for more than two years, and even though both might link to some of the same articles, there's no indication that the list was even used as a basis for the template. And even if it was, it's rarely a good idea to merge articles into templates. History merge should usually only be used when the same content is clearly cut-and-pasted from one place to another, it's not the case here. - Bobet 10:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

• Von Rothbart into Swan Lake - collateral from cut and paste merger, now there is no link to the history of the first in the edit summary of the latter, therefore I tagged {{histmerge}}. Cool Hand Luke, however, then removed it, dismissing the claim because: "History merge inappropriate. These articles existed in parallel, so merging would hopelessly shuffle their histories together." - now surely there is now an issue with GFDL compliance given the von Rothbart section of Swan Lake (where the old article now redirects) is completely attributed to the cut-and-pasted the section, and not the actual contributors to the old Von Rothbart article. It seems to me that we can't leave the two pages as they are, if I've gone wrong somewhere, please feel free to put me in my place and explain the reasoning! - Toon⁰⁵ 19:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

• I apologise for this, since it's my "work", and because as an admin i should know what to do in these circumstances - but I've never merged page histories before. I've just cut & pasted everything that was at Dunedin branch into the National Association for Science Fiction article. The Dunedin branch article was a speedy A7 candidate and I've since speedied it. Trouble is, of course, the page history. All the edits relevant to the text were done by one ediutor, but in several edits (they're shown at Special:Undelete/Dunedin_branch). My editing of them into the N.A.S.F. article is shown in this edit, and I have subsequently copyedited the addition to the N.A.S.F. page. If anyone could (a) perform the history merge and (b) instruct me how to do history merges myself in order to avoid this happening ain future, I'd be very grateful!

• WFLB and WAZZ: {Discuss}: WFLB appears to have been created for the purpose of describing an FM station located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I intended to edit the article about the station but didn't get around to it because my source had information related to other stations. One of those stations was WAZZ, and I made the majority of contributions to that article. When I looked at the WFLB article intending to add to it, I realized nearly all the content (the rest was links and templates) referred to WAZZ (once called WFLB) or to a defunct TV station, and the WAZZ-related content should be moved to the WAZZ article. But copying and pasting the content would be improper because the original contributors to the WFLB article would no longer be in the history that goes with that content.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:29, 20 March 2008 (UTC).
  • Histmerge impossible, as these two pages have been edited in parallel. I made the text merge. The text in page WAZZ "On August 1, 1996, ... bought WFLB along with WAZZ and WEWO. ...... Soon after that in 1997, the station swapped letters with WAZZ." seems to imply that there are two radio stations involved, WFLB and WAZZ; someone who knows more than me about the history of USA radio stations please clarify. (I live in England.) Did radio stations WFLB and WAZZ genuinely take each other's letter codes in 1997? Or what happened? The existing text seems to be all about the radio station that was WFLB and is now WAZZ; some information would be useful about the radio station that was WAZZ and is now WFLB.

• WKAP (former Allentown radio station) and WYHM → WSAN - The station changed their call sign to WYHM and changed formats in 2006 but the article was never moved and a new page was created for WYHM. When the format and call sign was changed again in 2007 to the current WSAN aother new article was created. According to the guidelines on Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations, the station article should have just been moved to the new call letters both times with a new section added for each format. Since most of the info on the pages are redundant, and it should have remained one article all along, the page histories should just be merged. Thanks, RobDe68 (talk) 22:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • This is an example of copy-and-paste, not cut-and-paste. These articles have overlapping history. In fact, they all currently exist. History merging them is inappropriate because it would shuffle all the edits together chronologically, which would destroy their context. It could be that two or more of these pages should be merged, but a history merge is not needed; just redirect the extras. If you need to combine some of the content, just note the location for the original content, then paste it into the final destination. Turn the merged article into a redirect, and the history should be left there for future reference. Cool Hand Luke 23:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I made both pages redirects to their section in the main article. I still think the lion's share of the station's history (keep in mind all 3 articles are essentially about the same station) is on the redirect "WKAP (former..." and should be with the main article page, but I guess that's just not possible. RobDe68 (talk) 17:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
      • I moved some pages around so that the original article is now the main page and the 2 newer articles are now redirects. I made a note on the talk page that some edit history for that station can be found on the redirect pages. I think that's the best that can be done in this case.

• Ordos culture and Ordos people
  • It's probably too late to do anything about this but a cut-n-paste occurred here when the content of Ordos people was moved to Ordos culture. Ordos people was made a redirect to Ordos culture a few days later. Both pages have prior and subsequent histories. The current location (Ordos culture) is a better location for the subject (the prehistoric people) but I want to make a stub for the modern Ordos people (a Mongol subgroup) and wonder if the history could all be consolidated before I do it. — AjaxSmack 20:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

These versions were inadvertently deleted in a previous merge and never restored. I have restored them, so now one can see that the two articles existed simultaneously and were edited apart from each other before 14 Aug, 2005.

• Emergency tourniquet & Tourniquet. I realize that this isn't really a copy and paste situation, but hear me out. The page currently known at "Emergency tourniquet" used to be named "Tourniquet." On 2 April 2007, "Tourniquet" was moved to "Emergency tourniquet," and a new stub was started at "Tourniquet." A few weeks later (and after 2 very minor edits), on 29 April 2007, the "Emergency tourniquet" article was abandoned a sentence or two used to create another article (Emergency bleeding control). Now, I want to revive the old "Emergency tourniquet" article (a decent article) and move it back to "Tourniquet" (still a stub after almost 1 year). Rather than renaming the current "Tourniquet" article to a new page that will never again be accessed just to preserve the history, why not history merge the articles? There are only 2 overlapping edits that are very minor. Otherwise, these articles developed sequentially with no parallel edits. If these articles are merged, I would then revert to this version and continue editing from there, merging back some content from the current stub page. I think this is the best way to handle the situation, as there would be no copying and pasting between articles. --Scott Alter 19:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • No. Merging parallel histories creates muddle. Currently, Tourniquet briefly describes the two sorts of medical tourniquet and links to full descriptions of each sort in Emergency tourniquet and Surgical tourniquet; this situation seems satisfactory to me. I have reverted page Emergency tourniquet from a redirect to a text file. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Having done some work on this area in emergency bleeding control, I believe that there is no justification for the separation of emergency and surgical tourniqets, and they should all be merged under tourniquet. OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 09:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I get the impression from these articles that a surgical tourniquet is most often a pneumatic device, and an emergency tourniquet is anything that can be used as a tourniquet. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I believe the reason surgical tourniquet got its own article is because it is pneumatic. However, the general use of the term tourniquet is non-pneumatic, but not necessarily for emergency use. Non-pneumatic usage is much more common for venipuncture than it is to stop emergency bleeding. I don't think "tourniquets for venipuncture" needs a separate article than tourniquets for bleeding control. I requested the history merge because there were no parallel histories (until your recent changes), besides two minor edits immediately after one article was turned into a redirect. --Scott Alter 00:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
  • The current situation seems to be satisfactory. Page Emergency tourniquet has the history of the long article about emergency tourniquets. Page Tourniquet has the history of the short article which is a short summary and a disambig between Emergency tourniquet and Surgical tourniquet. The move from Tourniquet to Emergency tourniquet is listed in Tourniquet's log as "23:17, 2 April 2007 Gnoble (Talk | contribs | block) moved Tourniquet to Emergency tourniquet ‎ (This article deals principally with emergency tourniquets, and not other types like surgical tourniquets. This move is being made as part of several other changes and additions to the Wiki tourniquet-related content.)", i,e, it was a proper move, not a cut-and-paste.
