This page was originally for listing cut and paste moves which could not be repaired due to a then-extant technical limitation. The limitation has since been removed, but this page is still available if you find a cut-and-paste move, and are not able to repair it yourself (There is a procedure for doing it, but 1. only admins can do it, and 2. it's a bit tricky).

Currently the only technical limitation is that category and file description pages can't be moved.

Admins: please read Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves and Wikipedia:Moving guidelines for administrators.

Please read Wikipedia:New histmerge list and Wikipedia talk:New histmerge list.

[edit] The procedure

• Place a {{db-histmerge|NAME OF PAGE THE ARTICLE WAS CUT FROM}} template at the new location of the article which has been moved through cut and pasting, i.e. on the article where the pasting was done.
• If the issue is clear-cut (straight up cut and paste move to a better title), having this speedy delete tag on the page should be enough. In more complex cases (explained at Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves), please leave a description of the problem under the "Repair requests" section.
• An admin will look the pages over and perform whatever tasks are necessary.
• Once this is done, the admin will post the result here.
• Old requests will be removed after 30 days.

[edit] Repair requests

Please add new requests to the top of the New Requests section. Thanks.

• List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: M–S was split via cut-and-paste to List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: M–P, List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: Q–S, and List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: T–Z. Lots of page moves happened in the process, making things confusing. I put the histmerge template on the M–P list, but it could be merged to any of the three new lists. — jwillbur 17:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
  • There were {{db-histmerge}} requests (now removed) to histmerge List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: M–S to List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: M–P and to histmerge List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: M–S to List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: Q–S :: I can't do both. Page List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients shows a complicated history of various divisions of the alphabet: at A,M; at A,G,M; at A,G,M,T; at A,G,M,Q,T, which presumably involved shuffling lengths of text about the pages that the various edits of List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients point to. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
    • Yes, there has been much moving/splitting/shuffling. Someone added {{db-histmerge}} to the Q–S list after I had already added it to M–P. I know you can't do both, but I think it is better to do one than none. It doesn't really matter if it is merged to M–P, Q–S, or T–Z. — jwillbur 23:09, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

• Henry S. Jacobs (HSJ) Camp → Henry S. Jacobs Camp — Currently the second link (older link) is a redirect to a more general article; the first link was erroneously created instead of replacing the redirect of the original (second) article/link.--SidP (talk) 21:47, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
  • This was requested at WP:RM, but since there is history at latter, it is a history move. In 2007 the article was redirected to a broader article(Union for Reform Judaism), in 2008 a new Camp article was created, which needs to be merged into the older article. 199.125.109.19 (talk) 15:10, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Y Done: I histmerged Henry S. Jacobs Camp to Henry S. Jacobs (HSJ) Camp, as Henry S. Jacobs (HSJ) Camp is under AfD and thus must not be moved. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

• Mare Liberum was moved by cut-and-paste from The Free Sea, because Mare Liberum already existed as a redirect-page and the move procedure would therefore not allow a simple renaming. This apparently messed up the edit history of the pages. Please perform a histmerge, taking into consideration that maintaining The Free Sea as a redirect-page (which it now is) is still necessary.--Ereunetes (talk) 00:14, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Y Done and their talk pages. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:21, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
• I created the article Robert Jordan (lawyer) in 2004. Others edited it. In 2006 a user did a cut-and-paste, starting the article under the title Robert W. Jordan by copying this version of the original article into the new title, instead of moving the page. The user didn't delete the old article or make it a redirect, though. For a while we had two articles about the same person, and the two articles were being separately edited. More recently, the original article, Robert Jordan (lawyer), has been converted into a redirect. The result is that some of the edit history of Robert W. Jordan is found here.

  I don't know if a history merge is possible now, because both articles were edited after the cut-and-paste, so each has its own history, with edits that don't appear at the other title. One possibility would be to merge only the portion of the history of the original article that preceded the cut-and-paste (22:20, 8 July 2006). That would put the vast majority of the edits in the right place, at any rate.

  As far as I can tell, all the information has been merged into the article at its current title, so the only issue is the edit history for GFDL compliance. I left a note on Talk:Robert W. Jordan but that's not optimal. JamesMLane t c 11:19, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

    • Your link refers to two pages with "separate origins". Here, the origin of the second page was a cut-and-paste of the first, so it's not completely separate. That's why I thought of the fallback of merging the page history from the first article up until the moment of the cut-and-paste, keeping intact the history of the second article from that point forward. Is that much doable? Whether it is or not, thanks for looking into the problem. JamesMLane t c 15:55, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

• Last week I "cut and pasted" 2 pages from one location to another (basically, adding a missing word to the page title). I found out today that there was a procedure to do this ("move"), but that I should come here and mark the other pages so that someone can complete the move of the other pages. So... the pages in question are:
  • World record progression 400 metres medley moved to World record progression 400 metres individual medley; and
  • World record progression 200 metres medley moved to World record progression 200 metres individual medley

  Can someone please move the articles the rest of the way? The individual events are referred to as "Individual Medley" (or "I.M.") within the sport, and not just by "Medley". This is probably most done to help separate them from the Medley Relays; which are likewise referred to as "Medley Relay" and not just "Medley" or "Relay". Thanks.

• Live Search was abandoned and its contents copy-pasted into Bing (search engine) by Pikablu0530 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · abuse filter log · block user · block log) on 30 May, leaving years of history in the wrong article. Bing is essentially just the new version of Live Search, so the article histories should be merged. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:33, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
  • This is a histmerge request after a text-merge :: see Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves#Parallel versions. And, after page Bing (search engine) was cut-and-pasted away, someone restored its full text, changing it to a copy-and-paste, and page Bing (search engine) has much continued history after that, and the requested move would cut the history threads of both pages. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
    • Right, but the point is that the Bing article's history (less than ten edits over three weeks old) is essentially trivial compared to the Live Search one (continuous since 2006). The merge should obviously have been done the other way around. If a history merge isn't to be performed, a copy-paste merge in the other direction should be performed in order to ensure that the useful edit history isn't hidden in a redirect while preserving the less useful one. The diffs since that date are hardly monumental either. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 17:39, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Y Done. The edits from Bing (search engine) before the big text-transfer are now in Bing (search engine)/old version.

Then on 1 April 2009, Firebird2000 (who I suspect is also a sockpuppet of User:Liuben) did a cut and paste page move of Stefan Dimitrov to Stefan & Malina Dimitrov.

• User:Jake Wartenberg made a minor typo when moving a page to mainspace, and that resulted in a new page at 1971-72 NBA Season, coexisting with the correctly spelled 1971-72 NBA season. The lowercase page has a long history of about 100 edits and the capital one has 5 good edits and 1 that got pushed in by mistake due to the merge. However these 5 "good" edits are newer than the newest edit on the properly spelled page and I think a history merge would be the best possible solution. The one edit from 1971-72 NBA Season that is about hurricanes should be deleted. I know how to use Db-histmerge, but I wasn't sure how to use it in this case because it seems that this situation is the opposite way around from usual: the correctly spelled page is the old one. If this cannot be done then I think another copy-paste move in the opposite direction would be the best way forward. Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 03:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

• United Airlines Flight 427 → USAir Flight 427 —(Discuss)— The Airline of the flight in question was USAir, not United Airliesn. The USAir Flight 427 page was moved—by the sockpuppet User:Y21—to United Airlines Flight 427. Somehow the contents was restored at USAir Flight 427. The pages have drifted apart since then (2 Mach 2009). I've fixed the drifting apart bit by mergeing changes to USAir Flight 427 into United Airlines Flight 427. There should be just one page at USAir Filght 427, with the history currently at United Airlines Flight 427; there should be no redirect from United Airlines Flight 427 to USAir Flight 427. This was first proposed as a merger, Talk:USAir Flight 427#Merge proposal may also be relevant. --ospalh (talk) 15:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for your help, Anthony! However, I think you might have slightly misunderstood the relationship between these three titles: The Invention of Lying is the new title of This Side of the Truth; Cemetery Junction is a completely separate film, and was never a title of The Invention of Lying (the original move a month ago that triggered this whole thing was in error), so there actually is still a small bit of merging to do with the talk pages:
  1. The contents and history of the talk page currently located at Talk:Cemetery Junction (film) actually belong to Talk:The Invention of Lying. It doesn't appear that there are any edits there that actually belong to Cemetery Junction, so it should be safe to bring the whole thing.
  2. Talk:This Side of the Truth did not contain any significant edits other than my botched move attempt and your added comment, and is effectively a duplication of a subset of the correct original talk page, so there's no need to bring any of its history in this move (I've already converted it to be a redirect).

  Thanks again. –Fierce Beaver (talk) 08:56, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

• This situation is a little hairy, and I initially attempted to do it myself, until I hit a roadblock with moving over redirects that already had edits that required the help of an admin. The situation is this: the article currently at Cemetery Junction (film) was originally located at This Side of the Truth. This Side of the Truth was incorrectly moved to Cemetery Junction (film) at 19:49, April 8, 2009 by Erik. However, instead of correctly being moved back to its original location, someone recreated This Side of the Truth, and began changing the original version at Cemetery Junction (film) to reflect that film's information. To complicate matters further, the original film's name was changed from This Side of the Truth to The Invention of Lying, but instead of moving the article, someone separately created The Invention of Lying, cut and paste the contents of This Side of the Truth into it, and began editing it!

  So, here is what I believe needs to happen:

  1. The history currently in the article Cemetery Junction (film) up until the April 8 move needs to be relocated to The Invention of Lying.
  2. All edits in Cemetery Junction (film) after the April 8 move should remain in that article's history, as they actually pertain to that film.
  3. The history currently in the article This Side of the Truth from April 8 through April 19 should also be relocated into The Invention of Lying. The contents of This Side of the Truth should then be replaced with a redirect to The Invention of Lying.
  4. All corresponding talk pages should have their histories merged at the same cutpoints described above.

• Tiffani Thiessen and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen: On 29 March 2009 Tiffani Thiessen was properly moved (i.e. using the move tab--I take no position on the correct page name) to Tiffani-Amber Thiessen. On 2 April 2009 the content of Tiffani-Amber Thiessen was cut and pasted to Tiffani Thiessen, and the former page was redirected to the latter.--ShelfSkewed Talk 22:27, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

• WorldVistA {{db-histmerge|1=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VistA}} (asked for by {{db-histmerge}} by User:Tushti) :: the page to be histmerged in does not exist; page VistA is not part of the same history. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

  • N Not done No answers in a week. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:04, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
• Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia (ndash) was cut-and-paste moved back to Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia (hyphen) against MOS by an editor who thought hyphens are ndashes and ndashes are mdashes. The correct title is the first one, with ndash. --Hans Adler (talk) 08:33, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
  • N Not done: Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia was copy-and-pasted (not cut-and-pasted) to Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, and both pages have (parallel) edit histories after that. Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia is currently redirected to Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, which contains the history before the copy-and-paste. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
• N Not done Thurston High School shooting to Kip Kinkel (was asked by {{db-histmerge}}) :: parallel versions, and developments in page Thurston High School shooting had no effect on page Kip Kinkel. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
• N Not done Rapture (video game) to Final Fantasy XIV (was asked by {{db-histmerge}}) :: this is not a straight cut-and-paste, but page Final Fantasy XIV seems to have been text-merged into existing page Rapture (video game). See Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves#Parallel versions. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Rejected requests May 2009

• History of Soleil (Watanabe Misato album) at Soreiyu. A few (insignificant?) edits at Soreiyu after the cut/paste. Tassedethe (talk) 17:37, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Parallel edit histories and it is unclear where the cut-and-paste point is. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:10, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
    • I wasn't sure if the edits post cut/paste would be enough to fail it as a candidate for histmerge. I think the cut/paste point is here, with the next edit being undone, The next edit is the only change to the article that is in parallel and is a minor cleanup (date delink, replace &28 with ( etc). The final 2 edits are the redirect to the other article. No problem if you still think it can't be done. I wanted to get an expert opinion over a difficult case rather than do it myself. Tassedethe (talk) 06:28, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
    • The histores of Soreiyu and Soleil (Watanabe Misato album) seems to be each continuous astride the stated cut-and-paste point. Around the described cut-and-paste point there seems to be no corresponding pair of edits (one in each page) with times within a minute or so. I suspect that these two are two pages which have been several times updated by copying between them. I have come across that before. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:24, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
      • I see what you mean. The original edit was a 'paste', but the 'cut' didn't occur for another year meaning they coexisted. Looks like we leave well enough alone. Thanks. Tassedethe (talk) 12:27, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
  • N Not done

• N Not done Megalomania to Delusions of grandeur (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): I reverted the copy-&-paste move to page Delusions of grandeur; page Megalomania was still its full text.

• N Not done You Found Me (song) to You Found Me (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): they are not about the same song. I moved You Found Me to You Found Me (Kelly Clarkson song) (which now redirects to Breakaway (Kelly Clarkson album)) and You Found Me (song) to You Found Me. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:57, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
• N Not done Olifant (disambiguation) from Olifaunt (asked for by {{db-histmerge}}): Olifant (disambiguation) is disambig page edits; Olifaunt (deleted on 6 March 2009) is about a music band; Olifant is about the word. There is nothing to histmerge. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Olifant was the disambiguation page; someone cut-and-paste moved that to Olifant (disambiguation), so the page history of Olifant is, except for the most recent edits, the history for the disambiguation page, which isn't where it belongs. The old page should have been moved to Olifant (disambiguation), and a new page created at Olifant. PaulGS (talk) 05:49, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
• Left-wing uprisings against the Bolsheviks‎ to Third Russian Revolution. Mahalo,  Skomorokh  06:18, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
  • N Not done. I histmerged the copy-&-pasted edit back from Third Russian Revolution to Left-wing uprisings against the Bolsheviks‎. Third Russian Revolution is now back to being a 3-way disambig, as it was before. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:47, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
• Talk:iPod (5G) to Talk:iPod Classic. Talk page of re-directed article, original article was merged into iPod Classic#Fifth generation - oahiyeel ^talk 16:06, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
  • N Not done: parallel versions. I moved Talk:iPod (5G) to Talk:iPod Classic/Archive 1 and put archive tags in. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:47, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
• Nancy Kissel to Nancy Kissel murder case (asked for by {{db-histmerge}})
  • N Not done, as page Nancy Kissel murder case arose by partial cut-&-paste (compare) of page Nancy Kissel at 02:32, 9 October 2008, and the two files were edited in parallel after that: see Wikipedia:Parallel versions. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:28, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
• (Discuss) — The Nov. 2 2008 and earlier edits of TD Bank, N.A. should be merged with Commerce Bancorp. These pages were split incorrectly, TD Bank N.A. is a merger of Commerce Bank and TD Banknorth. The Commerce Bank history should remain intact with TD Bank, N.A. being the new article. Cmjc80 (talk) 23:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
  • N Not done. Whatever be the boardroom goings-on of these various firms, the current Wikipedia file history is clear: page TD Bank, N.A. gradually evolved, and in the process was moved twice: once by complete cut-&-paste (which was mended a while ago), and once the proper way; a daughter page Commerce Bancorp was extracted from it by partial cut-&-pasting, leaving the greater part of the text in the original file. This is described in more detail in Talk:Commerce Bancorp#RFC. Many edits are about more than one of the firms involved in this, making a tidy history-split between topics impossible.
