Talk:Church (album)

A histmerge was needed?

@Anthony Appleyard: I'm really starting to see a discrepancy in the way you treat redirects made by other users versus how you treat mine. You have, in the past, completely overwritten redirects of mine even if I've made subsequent edits adding Template:R from album and categories like Futuresay22 did here. Instead, when another user, in this case Futuresay22, has created a redirect, you feel the need to histmerge their three unimportant edits before the redirect I made for Church (Galantis album) was created, which is the location where content was started by another user. In any other case, you yourself would call these parallel histories that don't need to be merged. If I didn't know any better, I would say it's really starting to seem like you have something against either me as an editor or the redirects I create, or you think I'm a problematic editor for the amount of redirects I make or whatever else other users I've argued with on your talk page have accused me of, because you overwrite or delete mine without a second thought but go out of your way to retain the redirects other users create. Please start treating the redirects I make the same as you do for other users. If a user chooses, of their own accord, to create content on a redirect that another user (in this case me) has made, you should not be deciding to delete my redirect (as you also did with SuperM (EP)) or find some way to merge another user's redirect before mine (as you've done here).

• @Ss112: When at 23:45, 6 February 2020‎ I moved page Church (Galantis album) to Church (album), it was as requested by User:Richard3120 in this edit of Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests: he asked for it with the reason "No other album with this title, therefore disambiguation by artist name is unnecessary – however, a redirect for the same album is in the way at the target page".

  @Anthony Appleyard: There is nothing in that request that asks for a histmerge; you did it of your own accord. Futuresay22's redirect with three insignificant edits could have been moved out of the way. I don't see that there was any reason to histmerge Church (Galantis album) with what was at Church (album). As I said, in the past, you have completely erased redirects I have made even where I've added categories in subsequent edits, but when it comes to others' redirects you'll preserve them? You need to treat them all the same, because this is starting to look like something against me specifically. Please stop ignoring this when I bring it up with you. Ss112 07:06, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
