Please finish merging
Chidren's Christmas Parade into
Children's Christmas Parade. I created the latter article this month, not knowing that there was already one under the wrong title. Once I found the "Chidren's" article I merged the content into mine and asked for it to be history-merged since the two do not overlap. However, another admin only deleted my page and did not move the one with the wrong title. So, I would appreciate if someone would finish the history merge by doing the move and then undeleting my final/latest versions. (Also, no need to leave a redirect at "Chidren's".) Thanks. –

I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, because this seems to be a complex case. Essentially though, somebody has performed a cut and paste move from
Aviance UK Ltd to
Aviance UK. The complicated is though, that Aviance UK has already existed as a stub in 2006 before being redirected, eventually being a redirect to Aviance UK Ltd.
Essentially, the content of the two pages has just been reversed. I tried to undo the normal changes and then do a move, but it didn't work, so I've reverted myself. The current two pages are as there were after the cut and paste moves. The trouble is, the user who did it has also made some other improvements/edits to the article. Thanks for any help.

Arctic exploration before I was aware of the rules I cut and paste moved this page from
Polar exploration. This was in line with the discussion on the talkpage but would have needed an admin to remove the redirect and then move the page. I did some editing on the page, removing some information specifically about the Antarctic, so not a straight cut and paste. I changed the 'Polar exploration' to disambig, which is how it should be. Oops.

I added the article
Alcachofa_music_album to paste the original
Alcachofa, placed a disambiguation banner adding links to the album and
Artichoke, I did not know about the move tab, I am sorry for that. It seems only administrators can erase the pasted page to revert the change.
Alcachofa_music_album has a history merging banner, maybe asked by the kind colleague that told me my mistake. If I can do that, please tell me the links where I can learn how. 16:14, 10 December 2009

Reliant K to
Relient K. Back in 2005, someone moved Relient K to Reliant K, an incorrect spelling.
Kertrats reverted it with a cut-and-paste. No-one noticed, and now all the subsequent edits were made on top of that, as well as the Reliant K redirect being edited itself a few times. So the
Reliant K redirect has all of the edits before June 11 2005 (ending with the version by
Joizashmo), and the correct Relient K pages has all the edits since then. —Akrabbimtalk 15:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is the correct place but I have a request regarding Page History for
The Masters Apprentices (and its talkpage) which had been incorrectly redirected to
The Master's Apprentices. I asked the redirecter to return the article to its earlier title but after four days without a reply I decided to try on my own. However I used a cut and paste process which has left behind the Page History for the article and its talkpage. Can this error be amended? If this is not the correct venue, could I be directed thereto? Thanks in anticipation.

Brief history: I copied and pasted the content of
35th Miss World Pageant to the
Miss World 1985 page in August 2006 (instead of using the "move" function) for this page to be similar to other Miss World pages (example: Miss World 1984, Miss World 1986, Miss World 2000). A redirect link was added to the
35th Miss World Pageant, while successive edits were done on the
Miss World 1985 page. Hence, I would like to request that the history of the
35th Miss World Pageant be merged with the
Miss World 1985 article. Then, I would propose that the
35th Miss World Pageant be eventually deleted as an orphaned article and since it doesn't follow the syntax of "Miss World YEAR" as a Miss World edition article.

I apparently followed the wrong procedure for correcting some article organization. A well-meaning editor has reverted/wiped my edits making for some confused edit history. I don't want to simply undo these as that would make the situation worse and, regardless, I cannot now do a "move" to get the edit history right. So I need some help in fixing the issues. Here's what needs to happen.
