Not done Sleep (OS X) to Sleep mode (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 09:44, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Guillermo Coria situation - As told to me at the Village Pump we need a merging of 3 article histories into the page they were merged into. We had this discussion to merge/delete. We need the article histories of 2003 Guillermo Coria tennis season, 2004 Guillermo Coria tennis season, and 2005 Guillermo Coria tennis season merged into newly created Guillermo Coria career statistics. Then we need those 3 articles deleted since the contents have already been merged. They are against Tennis Project Guidelines and we've had much mischief in editors creating these types of pages for non-Grand Slam winners. They use pages like the Coria season articles as to why they create new articles. It becomes a big headache. Thanks. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 07:51, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Not done @ Fyunck(click): history-merge can't be done: WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 22:52, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
I create the article Semi-Tarrasch Defence because existed as redirect the Semi-Tarrasch Defense. Then I make an edit on the old redirect and send it to the first. After this and this actions, were performed by user Quale, my name not listed (as creator) in history of the old redirect (were become now an article). The previous (and real) creator of the article is User:Bubba73, because I use and expand his old contribution in Tarrasch Defense to create the article. May you fix the history? -- Francois-Pier ( talk) 20:24, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- @ Francois-Pier: What do you want me to history-merge with what? Some people would say that it would be better to leave the article Tarrasch Defense as it was. Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 20:29, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- @ Anthony Appleyard: I think that Semi-Tarrasch Defense can be expanded after the separating. If we leave the article Tarrasch Defense as it was, maybe not expanded. About history-merge: I think the correct is Bubba73 to be the creator of Semi-Tarrasch Defense. -- Francois-Pier ( talk) 20:45, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- @ Francois-Pier: The histories of these 2 pages should be left as they are, to show what happened to them. Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 20:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- @ Anthony Appleyard: OK, you know better, thanks. -- Francois-Pier ( talk) 21:02, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
  - Not done Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 21:11, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Hillhead Baptist Church to User:Campbell Anderson/sandbox. It's a bit of a difficult case as the user initially created the page and then c&p-moved it to his user sandbox. I suspect the right thing to do is move it to the draft namespace and merge the relevant histories of the two pages in the process. — Smjg ( talk) 12:29, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Not done User:Campbell Anderson/sandbox was the main editing thread. Hillhead Baptist Church is a previous editing history, but during the editing history of Talk:Hillhead Baptist Church/version 2 as text, very little was done except adding category lines, and there is a short WP:Parallel histories between them. Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 05:33, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Not done Talk:Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team to Talk:U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team (asked for by {{histmerge}} :: reason=as it appears the talk page was not moved when the main page was and now we have two talk pages which need to be reconciled onto one.) There was no cut-and-paste move of talk pages here. I made Talk:Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team into an archive of Talk:U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team.

Not done IceWall to IceWall SSO WP:Parallel histories done as plain move Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 23:30, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Not done Gothicismus copied to Gothicism per a request at WP:RMTR. Due to parallel histories, a small amount of real content from 2006 couldn't be merged into the history. In case any of the old material was useful, I saved it on the talk page at Talk:Gothicism#Move. EdJohnston ( talk) 05:21, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
Odd case: an anon created two articles at Category:Serbian poets ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs). The first is about Proka Jovkić ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), pasted into article space by Zoupan from this revision. The second, about Dimitrije Karaman, still lies at the page. I suppose some history split is called for... if possible. No such user ( talk) 13:32, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
- @ No such user: Sorry: I cannot find a file named after Proka Jovkić under User:Zoupan/...... or User talk:Zoupan/...... Page Dimitrije Karaman has never existed. Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 19:32, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
  - @ Anthony Appleyard:: the article about Jovkić is already in mainspace, linked above, but was created by copy/paste from the category page; not sure if that suffices the attribution to the IP author. I could do the same with Karaman, but again, I'm not sure if it's kosher. If it is, admin intervention not necessary. No such user ( talk) 19:55, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
  - Not done @ No such user:: A file whose name starts Category: can't be renamed to a name which starts with anything else, nor vice-versa, not even by admins, so this histmerge can't be done. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 09:47, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
Not done AEGON Religare Life Insurance to Aegon Life Insurance Company Limited (asked for by {{db-copypaste}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 23:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
