Not done A page was moved the proper way; then the resulting redirect left at the old name was overwritten by a new page. There was no cut-and-paste move. Where did the new text in page
Fiat 500 come from?

The Key to Time was merged to the story arc article in 2008, it was the spun-off again in 2011 to
Doctor Who: The Key to Time. So the previous version of the article should exist in the history of the current version of the article. There is no overlapping edit history, except to retarget the redirect to the recreated article, thus not significant. --

Talk:Engology was accidentally moved out of usertalk space. This is a user talk page. It needs to be merged with the contents and edit history of
User talk:Engology. There is no overlapping edit history, so it can easily slide in before the more recent talk history. The current contents of the misplaced page should appear after the merger, along with the newer messages. --

Please split the history of
Wayne Alexander (actor) and merge the history from April 4 - June 2 into
Wayne Alexander (boxer). The April 4 edit changed the article topic to a difference person, that version was copied to
Wayne Alexander (boxer) and while it is mostly attributed, a history split would be better. The edits after June 2 were to repair the change and so should stay with the original article.

{Asked for as a move): Restiform Bodies (band) → Restiform Bodies (
move) – The redirect was created and the page protected due to some four year old promotion attempt. The current article seems notable so it should be moved, not stay with a disambiguator. If someone thinks it is not notable, that is what
WP:AFD is for.

Requesting that the history at
Tim Jackson up to and including the first edit by Ppettr on May 25 be merged into
Tim Jackson (business man) to fix the cut & paste move. The history after that point should remain at the current location to serve as attribution for the DAB.

Not done This overwriting would likely be controversial. Some people would likely want the extra information to be kept. There does not seem to have been a simple cut-and-paste move here.

Not done I see no resemblance between the last edit of the moved page before the move, and the first significant edit of the new page; but I do see good resemblance between the significant edits of the moved page astride the move (the header part remained; a long list of names was deleted). There was no cut-and-paste move here that I can see.

Ok, I think you're right. My confusion was the two recreated articles started with almost the exact same text, but it looks like that text
is a copyvio. Thanks for looking into this. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja05:40, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Wat Khao Wong previously referred to two temples, one named Wat Khao Wong Phrohm-majan and another named Wat Tham Khao Wong. I requested that
Wat Khao Wong be split into two articles, with each article referring to one temple each. (This process was started because the coordinates for the article were confusing, given that the article was about two different places.) I haven't split a page before, so I made a
bold attempt at cutting the content about Wat Tham Khao Wong out of
Wat Khao Wong and pasting it into
Wat Tham Khao Wong. I made a rough effort to clarify the content on each page as being solely about the temples the articles were each about. Because I created and added the relevant content to
Wat Tham Khao Wong before deleting it from
Wat Khao Wong, a bot placed a {{csb-wikipage}} tag on the page. I replaced that tag with a {{histmerge}} tag and realised that I should look into making sure that the appropriate edit history is copied too. I don't know how to properly split a page, so I'm requesting that someone look into whether any repairs need to be made to properly attribute the edits made to the content of
Wat Tham Khao Wong. Also, if someone could give me feedback on how to properly split a page in the future, I would be very thankful. Thanks,

I should also note that the edit summaries for the cutting and pasting clearly link to the articles the content went to and came from.

Media balance appears to cover the same area as
Objectivity (journalism), and in fact, there has been support for a redirection of this page straight to that page (see this
AFD). The article at the time appeared (Media Balance) to be a hoax due to claiming that the BBC created 'media balance' but providing no evidence that this is indeed the case (the sources provided instead talk about the Iraq War and does not mention any evidence of the creation of 'media balance'). That being said, I am happy with any information from Media Balance migrating over to Objectivity, so long as it is properly sourced and true. However, I was informed
here that the history of these two pages has to be merged since the two pages do have different content. Can you please merge these two histories as soon as possible, so that "Media balance" can finally be redirected to "Objectivity (journalism)"? Thanks.--

I should also state that another argument in favor of redirection is that
Media Balance redirects to Objectivity (journalism) with no problem, while Media balance does not redirect and have its own article.--
