Animal Jam (game) was cut and pasted to Animal Jam in October 2017. There have been edits to both since the cut and paste move. I have done simple history merges, but this is beyond my experience. ~ GB fan 15:23, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

I closed a merge discussion at Talk:Shoplifting by doing a selective copy-paste merge from Retail Bag Check Exit Policy (diff [3]). I don't know if any history merge is needed. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:29, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Rejected requests September 2017

Merge the history of Talk:Apple Wallet up to and including revision 802147738 to Talk:Wallet (software). The later revisions are parallel histories, and should stay there. GeoffreyT2000 ^{(talk, contribs)} 00:22, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
- @GeoffreyT2000: Not done The histories of both pages run continuously through the supposed cut-and-paste point at 08:31, 24 September 2017. The two pages are very unlike, both before and after that point: Talk:Apple Wallet is a long series of discussions and Talk:Wallet (software) is only a move discussion. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:37, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
@Steel1943: Not done Draft:Kasturi Suman Kumar to Kasturi Suman Kumar (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:45, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
@Legacypac: Not done Draft:Film Companion to Film Companion (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories & the 2 pages are completely different at any would-be cut-and-paste point. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:29, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

@Stefan2: Not done Draft:Muzon National High School to Muzon National High School (asked for by {{histmerge}}) (total WP:Parallel histories) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

@Emir of Wikipedia: Not done Aegon Targaryen (disambiguation) to Aegon Targaryen (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:23, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

@Garuda28: Not done Langley Field to Langley Air Force Base (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories. Page Joint Base Langley–Eustis may be involved in the history of these two pages. See discussion on Joint Base Langley–Eustis. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:39, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
@Anthony Appleyard:Can you please explain your reasoning? JBLE is the parent base, but Langley Field and Langley AFB are the same name (albeit one outdated). There is no discussion I saw except the one that is mirrored from Langley field with the same conclusion. Garuda28 (talk) 22:44, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Garuda28: Page Langley Field's edit history runs from 02:17, 6 September 2003 to 15:08, 24 June 2011, where it was text-merged into Joint Base Langley–Eustis. Langley Air Force Base's edit history runs from 21:06, 17 February 2010 to 23:16, 6 September 2017.
  - Which page is/was which is a bit confusing; as (as far as I can sort out):-
  - At 02:17, 6 September 2003‎ 68.10.225.179 started Langley Air Force Base (which is now Langley Field)
  - At 21:06, 17 February 2010‎ 633ABWPA started Joint Base Langley–Eustis (which is now Langley Air Force Base)
  - At 18:28, 14 July 2011‎ Bwmoll3 text-merged Langley Air Force Base into Joint Base Langley–Eustis (which is now Langley Air Force Base). No edits after that except redirects and a quickly-reverted revert (in Langley Air Force Base, which is now at Langley Field)
  - At 06:17, 28 January 2013‎ Malik Shabazz moved Joint Base Langley–Eustis to Langley Field (which is now Langley Air Force Base)
  - At 18:31, 28 January 2013‎ Ktr101 started a new page (overwriting the redirect) at Joint Base Langley–Eustis
  - At 22:47, 6 September 2017‎ BilCat moved Langley Air Force Base and Langley Field to each others' names.
  - Regrettably, history-merge after text-merge is inadvisable, see WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:42, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Requesting histmerge of Simon Viklund into Draft:Simon Viklund, and then the latter moved over the mainspace article. A user was working on a draft, going through AfC, when another user created an article about the same subject with much less content and a subset of sources. Is this something histmerge can be used for? It doesn't seem right to encourage new users to start a draft and go through AfC just to have someone post a lower-quality version of it and have the draft declined. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 01:20, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Rhododendrites: Histmerge Not done: there has been no complete cut-and-paste event between these 2 pages. I have made a plain move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:36, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
  - @Anthony Appleyard: Thanks. I wonder if it would've been possible if we first copy/pasted the short article into the long article? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:12, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
  - @Rhododendrites: The two articles are now at Simon Viklund and Simon Viklund (version 2). A look at their edit histories will show that they are not cut parts of the same editing timeline. If you want to text-merge Simon Viklund (version 2) into Simon Viklund, do so. You could put a history information section in Talk:Simon Viklund. This happens often when two pages are text-merged. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:58, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Requesting histmerge of King of the Romanians into Kingdom of Romania. Requesting histmerge of King of the Romanians into Hohenzollern#Kings of the Romanians. Thank you.--Mr. Boston (talk) 02:56, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Mr. Boston: Not done WP:Parallel histories (histmerge requests after text-merges) and I can't history-merge the same page into two other pages. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:28, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
@Obi2canibe: Not done A.H.M. Asvar to A. H. M. Azwer (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories (histmerge request after text-merge) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:22, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
