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 image description pages can't be moved.

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

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.

  • Y Done Charles Henry Baker, Jr. to Talk:Charles H. Baker, Jr. (move called for, found histmerge needed) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:15, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Room Service (Bryan Adams album) --> Room Service (album) over an {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} redirect; there are several albums of that title. Tassedethe (talk) 08:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
  • I request merging history of Semi-simple algebra with Semisimple algebra. I believe this is nontrivial and non-controversial; although the cut-and-paste move is several years old. JoergenB (talk) 22:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
  • At 11:34 (UTC) on September 10, I believe I performed an unacceptable procedure. I began to use "cut and paste" over the course of several days to delete appx. 99% of the material in Prosecutor's Management Information System because it was merely a redundant, repetition of the history of Inslaw. My explanation for doing what I did was then posted in a notice by me and inserted on the talkpage on September 11, at 13:25 (UTC). Thus, I suppose that I messed up the continuity of the history of Prosecutor's Management Information System. My intent was not malicious; it was academic: there was no need for a "history of the story of Inslaw's contentious battle with the Department of Justice" to be written twice when it was clear to me that an article on Inslaw could contain the story, and an article on PROMIS could contain detailed information about what PROMIS is, was, and will do. I attempted to explain the difference in the opening paragraph on the PROMIS page; meanwhile I jotted down a bunch of temporary "note" material for interested parties to evaluate before they began writing repetitive material about a court case. Anyway, to make all the above short, I believe that someone with much more experience in Wikipedia guidelines and procedures needs to evalute what I have done and to tell me to leave Wikipedia, or help me correct my stupidity. Sorry. Hag2 (talk) 16:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
    • Y Done PROMIS (only its early edits before 17:40, 21 April 2004) to Problem-Oriented Medical Information System.
    • The work done on 10 September 2008 looks to me like ordinary text-merging, and there seems to be no history-merge to do. Leave a note in these two pages' talk pages explaining what happened. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:34, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Not too sure what that Problem-Oriented Medical Information System has to do with me, but if you think that the stuff relating to Inslaw is ok, then that's ok by me too. Hag2 (talk) 17:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
