History split request: Split out the initial edits on these pages to the user sandbox mentioned in the first edit of each page. Keeping these edits in the articles' history improperly attributes user:Anne Delong as the creator of the article.
- Maria Rita Teresa Batalla-Laforteza - first edit
- Danilo Palomer Santiago - first 2 edits
- Neuromodulation (journal) - first 2 edits
- Atacama B-Mode Search - first 2 edits

103.6.159.81 (talk) 05:12, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Done Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:16, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I noticed that instead of splitting out the edits to the sandbox from where they came from, you just removed them by deleting and undeleting the page. 103.6.159.89 (talk) 13:09, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Done Draft:Eduardo Urbano Merino to Eduardo Urbano Merino (I noticed this pair of pages myself and determined that a histmerge was needed)—Anne Delong (talk) 11:24, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
Minor League Baseball & Minor league baseball
- Both were distinct articles until merged 17:33, 19 April 2008 into Minor league baseball (Minor League Baseball redirects).
- 19:10, 3 August 2012‎ c&p of Mlb to MLB.
- The current article MLB has a 4 year history gap from 4/2008 to 8/2012; that history is located at Mlb.
- Not sure if histmerge is the way to go or just do an attribution template on both talk pages?
- The talk page was also c&p.
  - WTF. Rgrds. --64.85.216.77 (talk) 16:33, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Done Minor league baseball to Minor League Baseball (but I moved old WP:Parallel histories edits to Talk:Minor League Baseball/old version) & their talk pages. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:23, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Done Gopalkisan Bajoria to Gopikishan Bajoria (asked for by {{histmerge}}) Mark Arsten (talk) 23:04, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Not done Wikipedia:Crime in El Salvador to Crime in El Salvador (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories and the move was a text-merge, not a cut-and-paste. I moved Wikipedia:Crime in El Salvador to User:Ekarajic\Crime in El Salvador. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:20, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
Not done List of Star Wars films cast members to List of Star Wars cast members (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories (text-merge on 25 Dec 2014) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:15, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Not done John Allan Wyeth (poet) to John Allan Wyeth (asked for by {{histmerge}}) WP:Parallel histories and there was no cut&paste move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:48, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Not done Paths of Glory (The Simpsons)(version 2) to Paths of Glory (The Simpsons): WP:Parallel histories: not a c&p but I moved page Y to name Y_(version_2) to make room for a requested plain move X to Y . Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
Not done Tebufenpyrad to Draft:Tebufenpyrad: WP:Parallel histories, and Draft:Tebufenpyrad looks like not a c&p but a new start with gradual expansion from a stub. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
Not done Talk:Military order (disambiguation) to Talk:Military order (asked for by {{histmerge}}) (there was no cut-and-paste between these 2 pages) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:22, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
File:Ameri100 Logo.jpg needs a history split. The text revisions from 2015-12-10T12:08:15‎ and on need to be moved to the article or draft namespace, and the rest of the text revisions should remain in the file namespace together with the file uploads. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:25, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
It seems that there also are revisions of the article on the file talk page. Argh! --Stefan2 (talk) 21:27, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Not done @Stefan2: I am an ordinary admin and thus can't move edits from File: space to article space. I have blanked the article matter, which was spammy. A similar article at Ameri100 was deleted at 13:12, 15 October 2014 as spam.
- I moved File talk:Ameri100 Logo.jpg to Ameri100, because it was an article and not talk about the image, and there deleted it, because it was spammy. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:01, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
File:Lena Gurr, New York Gothic.jpeg is another article in the file namespace. It seems that the first two revisions should remain in the file namespace and that the rest of the revisions should be moved to the article or draft namespace. I'm not sure if admins can move articles out of the file namespace. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:37, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Not done File:Lena Gurr, New York Gothic.jpeg was deleted at 21:44, 10 December 2015 (not by me) as "deletion requested by author", and it has no talk page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:01, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

History-merge The Challenge: Rivals II to The Challenge: Rivals III "This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because it is a copy-and-paste page move of The Challenge: Rivals II that needs to be temporarily deleted to make room for a clean page move. Asserted to be non-controversial maintenance. See CSD G6.". Transferred from Category:Candidates for history merging.
- Not done The Challenge: Rivals II and The Challenge: Rivals III are two events of The Challenge (TV series), but not the same event. Page The Challenge: Rivals III was started by copying-and-pasting (not cutting-and-pasting) page The Challenge: Rivals II and then editing it where necessary. History-merging would hide the page about The Challenge: Rivals II. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:36, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Not done Maxim's de Paris to Talk:Maxim's Paris (asked for by {{histmerge}}) (no resemblance at the supposed cut-and paste point.) If Maxim's de Paris to Maxim's Paris is meant, WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:29, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Amin al-Husseini → Haj Amin al-Husseini. Someone recommended histmerge. --George Ho (talk) 01:58, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Loud Shout appears to be cut&paste copy from User:Amitvaish. Specifically this revision [1] dated 30 September 2015 is nearly verbatim identical to the source revision [2] dated 29 September 2015. Brianhe (talk) 23:14, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Anthony Appleyard. I recently expanded the Turandot (Gozzi) article with material from my userspace draft, which was itself based on an old version of the article. Could you do the histmerge, please? The very first two edit summaries of my own draft might need tweaking to fit in, if the rules allow. Cheers, :>MinorProphet (talk) 14:24, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Not done WP:Parallel histories after text-merge. Sorry. This often happens. @MinorProphet: Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:16, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Not done United Provinces of the Río de la Plata to United Provinces of the River Plate. Asked for by WP:RM, histmerge not possible due to parallel histories.

Not done Naupactus to Nafpaktos, asked for by requested move. I found histmerge needed, but not possible due to parallel histories.
