Wikipedia:Requests for history merge/Archive 37

This page is used for listing requests for history merges or history splitting of pages. For relatively simple cases where history merge is required, the destination page should be tagged with the {{histmerge}} template. This page should be used for requesting very complex merges, merges involving more than two pages, history merges of deleted pages, or when the use of the template is otherwise inadequate or where its usage would cause problems.

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 only administrators can do it, and it is a bit tricky!).

Administrators need to read Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves and Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions.

The procedure

• Place a {{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 the template 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 administrator will look over the pages and perform whatever tasks are necessary.
• Once this is done, the admin may post the result here.

Repair requests

Pages tagged with {{histmerge}} are automatically placed in Category:Candidates for history merging.

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

• Black Is King

Hi there! I copied the material from Draft:Black Is King and pasted it into Black Is King, as I was not aware of the issue with attribution. I did so because another user wanted to create an article for Black Is King, but at the time Black Is King was a redirect and they did not know how to convert a redirect to an article, and so they created Draft:Black Is King through AfC. I then converted the redirect into an article and copied what was in the draft. There has since been edits made by others to the article. It was then raised to my attention that the histories need to be merged. I hope you can help with this! Thank you :) Bgkc4444 (talk) 00:19, 19 July 2020 (UTC)Bgkc4444

• Minimum Evolution was newly created, while a "redirect with possibilities" already existed at Minimum evolution. The downcased version should be the article title. I would round-robin that out of the way and CSD the former redirect, but it has a non-trivial history.

• City of Lions page seems to have started life as completely different subject - a drowned city off Cornwall (see Talk discussion) but was changed on 6 January 2013 by an anonymous IP to start a new article about a band (?) This was then added to over the years. I started off by trying to find links to this page as an Orphan but so far without success. Also no references and any links given are dead, so all needs verification: may fail WP:notability? May even be a disruptive edit that has taken on a life of its own...? Needs more experienced eyes!.

• Beeston Hill, Beeston Hill was about the area of Leeds until October 2011 when it was merged with Beeston, Leeds. In November 2011 it became a DAB page which it still is. The edit history of it being about the area of Leeds (and being a redirect) should be moved to Beeston Hill, Leeds with the edit history of the DAB from November 2011 staying at the base name. Links for the Leeds one can then be linked to the redirect per MOS:RDR. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:49, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

• Lady Wood, Lady Wood was about the area of Leeds which was merged. In August 2016 an article on the album was written. The edit history before 2016 should be moved to Lady Wood, Leeds (along with the talk page prior to 2016) and either the album can stay at the base name or a DAB could be created.

• Newby Head, Newby Head was about the place in Cumbria untill it was hijacked to be about the place in North Yorkshire in February 2010. The edit history before February 2010 (along with the talk before March 2010) should be moved to Newby Head, Cumbria and redirected to Newby, Cumbria since as was noted in the AFD its not a separate village and probably isn't notable.

• Lee Remick, the current title of Lee Remick (disambiguation) was about the Hefner song, in 2014 it was converted into a DAB page and the page was soon after moved to "Lee Remick (disambiguation)". Then a Lee Remick (Hefner song) redirect was created. The edit history of the Hefner song (which is now at the DAB title) from 2010 should be moved to the history of the Lee Remick (Hefner song) redirect meaning the Lee Remick (disambiguation) only has history of when it became a DAB in 2014.

• I Belong to You/How Many Ways was split into two articles, I Belong to You (Toni Braxton song) and How Many Ways (Toni Braxton song), with the slash-titled article now redirecting to Toni Braxton (album). I think the histories of I Belong to You/How Many Ways and I Belong to You (Toni Braxton song) should be merged for proper attribution since "I Belong to You" was moved to the slash title in 2014 and the "How Many Ways" article has its own long history dating back to 2006.

• Lynn Anderson discography to Lynn Anderson albums discography...both articles are my requests. Originally, both articles were under the one single "discography" page.

• Gotama (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) was a biography until 14 May 2007‎, when it was converted into a dab page with content pasted from Gautama (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Note that currently Gotama only disambiguates "Gautam[a]" entries; there isn't a single "Gotama" in the list. Because of that, I think that the best to do in this case is to restore Gautama (disambiguation) as the dab page: please merge all Gotama editions from 14 May 2007‎ on (starting with the one with the summary "should be a dab page") back into Gautama (disambiguation). Gotama will then be converted into a redirect to Nyāya Sūtras, as Dbachmann initially intended [1]. —capmo (talk) 02:52, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• I was wondering if The Tiger's Apprentice (movie) and The Tiger's Apprentice (film) could be merged. was originally in draft. Starzoner (talk) 18:13, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

   Not done. The Tiger's Apprentice (movie) was copied from The Tiger's Apprentice (film), there are parallel histories and in general it doesn't look like there needs to be merge. Primefac (talk) 18:44, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Rejected requests June 2020

• @The Optimistic One:  Not done Halo (franchise) to Halo (TV series) to Draft:Halo (TV series): these 3 edit histories clearly ran parallel at the same time at very different page lengths, and clearly there was no complete cut-and-paste event between any of them. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:49, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Apologies! I meant to merge Draft:Halo (TV series). The Optimistic One (talk) 23:10, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Still no cut/paste page move, and there are still parallel histories. Declined (again). Primefac (talk) 00:10, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

• @Crouch, Swale:  Not done Harleston, South Norfolk to Harleston, Norfolk, and perhaps also to or from Redenhall with Harleston: (asked for by {{History merge}}) WP:Parallel histories (history-merge request after text-merge) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:36, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

  @Anthony Appleyard: the "Harleston, Norfolk" title was an article about the town from 2005 until it was merged in 2010. I created the "Harleston, South Norfolk" in 2020 and then moved back content from the Redenhall with Harleston article[2][3]. The history of "Harleston, Norfolk" and "Harleston, South Norfolk" do not appear to be parallel since they existed at different times. The only thing that is parallel is the content that was in the "Redenhall with Harleston" article which I'm not requesting for merging. Also in any case "Harleston, Norfolk" not "Harleston, South Norfolk" is the correct title per WP:UKPLACE since there is only 1 in Norfolk. I just used the other title for AFC. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:44, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

  • @Crouch, Swale: Whereabouts in the histories of these 3 pages do you think that a complete cut-and-paste event happened? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:31, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
    • @Anthony Appleyard: due to the fact that some content from 2010 (such as the Georgian residences) is now in the current article. Both articles are on the same topic and have content from the other and aren't parallel. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:42, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
  • @JalenFolf and Crouch, Swale: The about-14:52, 26 July 2010‎ edits by User:Skinsmoke are a cut-and-textmerge from Harleston, Norfolk to Redenhall with Harleston. All that can be done here is to put a history note into those two pages' talk pages. After that, Harleston, Norfolk remained a redirect. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:39, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
    • @Anthony Appleyard: I've added a note to the current article (South Norfolk one). Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:47, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

• @Superastig:  Not done Monster Radio to Audiovisual Communicators :: WP:Parallel histories, and I see little resemblance between the 2 pages at any likely cut-and-paste point. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:10, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
• User:PhilipTerryGraham/Commercial Crew Program to Commercial Crew Program – new article moved into the mainspace in the place of another article, Commercial Crew Development, which was boldly moved to Commercial Crew Program prior to the new article's completion. The old article has since been moved back to Commercial Crew Development prior to the creation of the new article, as the old article better covers Commercial Crew Development specifically, rather than the broader Commercial Crew Program. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 10:13, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

   Not done, only one editor so no attribution issues. Primefac (talk) 20:52, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@Primefac: I’m going to delete User:PhilipTerryGraham/Commercial Crew Program for cleanup, but I don’t want the long and extensive edit history of the page to disappear. Can we make the merge anyways? I honestly don’t see the problem here; what Ill effects would it even have? – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 00:29, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

No, but I'll delete it under WP:U1. Primefac (talk) 16:11, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Primefac: Excuse me? I didn’t ask you to do that. I want my edit history back, please. I don’t understand why you’re giving me such a hard time over this... I’d like to ask @Anthony Appleyard: for some assistance here, and a proper explanation as to why the history merge can’t happen. I just wanted some help, not this... – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 17:11, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

History merges are done to preserve attribution. For example, let's say there is an article Example. Editor A copies Example to Draft:Example.

• In scenario 1, editor A asks editors B and C to help improve the Draft, which after a few dozen edits is copied back to Example by editor A. In this case, the edits made by B and C need to receive proper attribution, so Draft:Example is merged into Example.
• In scenario 2, editor A works on the Draft for a while, and then copies that finished product back to Example. They have done all of the work themselves, so there is no concern about attribution because (from the perspective of the Article) only one editor has actually changed the content.

Your request falls under "scenario 2", and thus a histmerge is not necessary. If you do not want to delete the history of User:PhilipTerryGraham/Commercial Crew Program but still want a "clean" editing history, create something like User:PhilipTerryGraham/sandbox or User:PhilipTerryGraham/Commercial Crew Program v2; the name can always be changed if it ends up being moved into the Article space. Primefac (talk) 18:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Primefac: I understand this, I'm moreso asking why it's this way. What are the ill effects of simply merging the original edit history into the mainspace article that prompts a denial of this kind of histmerge request? Hopefully my wording is much clearer now. At the very least, thankfully, I got the edit history back through an undeletion request, so I no longer need assistance in that regard. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 18:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Primefac and PhilipTerryGraham: Let this happen: Page X is copied to page Y. User P edits X, and at the same time user Q edits Y. Then, these edited forms of X and Y are text-merged to make a new page Z. This text-merging cannot be followed up by a history-merging, for reasons explained at WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Anthony Appleyard and Primefac: Is there any option for me as a normal editor to be able to transplant the edit history into a mainspace article? Like, would it be acceptable, for example, for me to move User:PhilipTerryGraham/Commercial Crew Program (the page with the complete edit history) to something like Commercial Crew Program v2, then move Commercial Crew Program to Draft:Commercial Crew Program, and then make a technical move request for Commercial Crew Program v2 to be moved to Commercial Crew Program? – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 22:36, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

That is a waste of both your time and ours. Primefac (talk) 00:33, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Primefac and PhilipTerryGraham: The English Wikipedia has one information note about each edit that users have made. If page X is text-split into pages Y and Z, by cut-and-paste, and someone calls for history-merge of X to Y and of X to Z, the information note about each edit of X can be moved to Y's edit history, or to Z's edit history, but not to both. Moving it to both would need the information note to be duplicated. That is called "cloning". Cloning can be done in the German Wikipedia, but not in the English Wikipedia. All that can be done is to put edit history information sections in the end of Talk:X and in the starts of Talk:Y and Talk:Z . See WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:41, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
• The edits for Draft:Giuseppe Cristiano (version 2) from 02:52, 5 March 2020 and earlier should be merged into the history of Draft:Giuseppe Cristiano. After that, the "version 2" redirect should then be deleted. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:01, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

   Not done, parallel histories with only one editor in the timeframe mentioned. Primefac (talk) 14:17, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

• The page Draft:Golden Sercet (Band) contains a typo in its title. Its edits from 25 May 2020 (but not the latest 27 May 2020 edit) should be merged into the history of Draft:Golden Secret, after which the page with the typo in its title should then be deleted. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:23, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

   Not done, only one editor. Primefac (talk) 14:23, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
