The contents of the 2007 Pittsburgh vs. West Virginia football game page were merged into 2007 Backyard Brawl on December 3, 2016. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Is it an issue to incorporate content from a deleted version of this article without attributing the authors? Per WP:MERGE and Creative Commons Share-alike 3.0 license, it appears that we do. Without the ability to see the revisions of the deleted page, IMO this is an issue. — X96lee15 ( talk) 15:50, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Perhaps we could do some history merging with the deleted version. WikiOriginal-9 ( talk) 22:28, 22 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Then fix it by adding the attribution desired, not by deleting the content.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 21:22, 3 December 2016 (UTC) reply

merged content from 2007 Pittsburgh vs. West Virginia football game has been added back in.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 21:27, 3 December 2016 (UTC) reply

I can't see the attribution, so I cannot be added back in. An admin has to do a history merge I believe. What you did is essentially recreate a deleted article without adding any new content (and not attributing the changes!). That version of the article was deleted and can only be restored with a deletion review (again, I believe). I'm going to remove the info again until it can be attributed. — X96lee15 ( talk) 22:30, 3 December 2016 (UTC) reply

The attribution is in the edit summary as required in WP:MERGE. I am reverting. If you want to revert again, please take it to WP:3RR. If you desire a different attribution and it's reasonable, speak up to what you want instead of just removing content. If I have misunderstood how to re-merge content appropriately, then the gang at WP:3RR can quickly and easily correct any mistake I have made.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 23:23, 3 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Yup, I think the way it is now works! FWIW, I did speak up twice for what was required. Once on this talk page a few days before I removed the content and once after you restored the content still without attribution. I don't know what else you wanted me to do. — X96lee15 ( talk) 00:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Game was not meant to be won by WVU. Ricrod was being an donkey. Didn't care about anything but the money. 75.109.238.231 ( talk) 18:29, 27 November 2021 (UTC) reply
