Seven (singer) to
Se7en (singer). Cut-paste move by anons from de.Wikipedia on August 15. All edits on or after August 15 are the new copy, except for one attempt (in each article) to restore the status quo ante. No history in Se7en's before August 15 except for moving to Seven and reverting a cut/paste move. I'm an admin, but I haven't repaired one of these in years. —

See No More (Joe Jonas song) and
See No More. The edit history of See No More up through June 4 should be attached to See No More (Joe Jonas song), as a previous iteration of the article. There is no overlapping history, aside for a retargetting of the redirect, which can be ignored.

Details: the article had been moved from Theatrologist to Theatrology then from Theatrology to Theatre Studies, then moved back over the redirect to Theatrology. Then, after a consensus was reached on the talk page for the move from Theatrolgy back to Theatre studies, one of the editors moved it there via a cut and paste and also did a cut an paste move of
Talk:Theatrology to
Talk:Theatre studies. -

Comedy Central (UK) has a continuous history throughout the period around 5 April 2009 at about 8500 bytes (except that someone redirected it and then someone reverted it to its full text).
Comedy Central (UK & Ireland) was started at 17:12, 5 April 2009 by
User:86.41.188.35 as 21,829 bytes. (It has one earlier edit: a redirect). It has had an eventful history since but never at anything near 8500 bytes.
I see no use for a history-merge here. There may have been various partial copyings between these 2 articles. Put a history note in its talk page?

86.41.188.35 created a mirror of
Comedy Central (US version) over a redirect which
Nua eire used to created a non-consensus fork of
Comedy Central (UK) (then
Paramount Comedy 1). The page was replaced with a redirect to the original article again within 24 hours by a member of the relevant project and nothing from the fork was added into the original article.
[1] Between then and Nua eire's cut and paste move, the only edit was a bot fixing a double redirect. If Nua eire had carried out the move correctly, the page would have been deleted under CSD-G6. -

There is bad blood here, please note. The "Demolition" page, which has existed for a while, was moved, without consensus. Or indeed, without any kind of discussion as far as I can tell. This is all part of a wider disagreement - see Al-A's contributions

I began working in
my sandbox about 6 months ago, and at the time, I didn't think there would be hundreds of edits to that page before I moved it into mainspace, so I thought a copy/paste move would be ok. I also wasn't aware that if other people helped in the sandbox that me copy/pasting it would be against GFDL guidelines for attribution. Turns out, three editors have made nearly 300 edits to the page since then, starting from
here. I would like for just the edits since that revision to be moved to
List of Michigan State Historic Sites.
User:Doncram already created that mainspace article a while back to support a disambiguation page he was working on, but I believe that the article can and should be deleted to make way for this move. There is a short edit history of the mainspace article, but most of it is basically me trying to get the article deleted right after it was created, and then occasional bot tasks afterwards. There is a discussion at
Wikipedia:Help desk#Moving only part of a page's history right now in which Doncram opposes the deletion and supports a copy/paste move.--

user:Njbook created
Lady of the Lake (ship), then recreated it at
Lady of the Lake (1833). So the two should be histmerged together. "1833" is nonstandard disambiguation for ships (they are disambiguated by year of launch, not year of sinking), so the merger should take place at the original name. There are no substantive content edits between the end of one and the other article.

Please incorporate
User:Espanyol213/8ste_laan as a section into
Otjomuise. This is not a repair request (it is not broken yet)--I checked that there are no parallel histories and thought attribution would be better preserved by histmerge than by a normal merger with template {{copied}}. Please let me know if this was a stupid idea. The documentation is somewhat difficult to understand. Thanks,

But now attribution is broken. I thought that's exactly what not to do (and have been notified for that in the past). --
