Mubarak Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) was created as a copy-and-paste move from the older Mubarack Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to correct a mispelling in the title ("MubaraCk" was changed to "Mubarak"). There is some temporal overlap in the revision histories of the two pages because the redirect from the older page to the newer one was not done cleanly. Super Mario Man 08:00, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

SmallRepair (talk · contribs) worked on a draft in User:SmallRepair/sandbox then appears to have copy-pasted it into the main space (before anyone else had contributed to it) as List of The Courtship of Eddie's Father episodes and abandoned the draft. Later, two other editors made identical changes to both documents. A merge would show the progression of SmallRepair's development of the article, but I think it isn't really necessary (because the author who copy-pasted was the sole author up to that point) and the draft may just be deleted as a stale draft. Is that right? —rybec 23:28, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Theia (Planet) needs to be moved over Theia (planet), there is no overlapping edit history, the end of which at "planet" was April 2013 (significant history ended in 2009, the 2013 edits were vandalism), the start at "Planet" is November 2013. As the intervening time it existed as a redirect, this is a recreation of a previous article, and the proper title is the one with the lowercase P, as disambiguators are not capitalized when not proper nouns. This will allow access to the previous version of the article in history, and to show the history of its time as a redirect, and the previous merger. As no article existed at the time of recreation, there is no parallelism problem. -- 65.94.78.9 (talk) 23:17, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

- Not done: triple WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:04, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
The articles Global_surveillance_disclosure, Aftermath of the global surveillance disclosure and Origins of global surveillance have been made by copy-pasting from 2013_global_surveillance_disclosures, which was turned into a redirect. The edit summaries made when deleting material from 2013_global_surveillance_disclosures say where the text was copied to, but the edit summaries made when adding the text to the new articles don't say where it was copied from. —rybec 09:42, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
- Not done: triple WP:Parallel histories; they seem to have come from splitting 2013_global_surveillance_disclosures into 3 parts, not all at once. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:04, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
  I also think they came from splitting 2013_global_surveillance_disclosures into 3 parts; someone looking at the history of the new articles can't easily see that. Most of the history (1649 edits by 185 authors) is in 2013_global_surveillance_disclosures, which was turned into a redirect after the creation of the new articles. I can't see deleted history, but the oldest of the new articles appears to have been made on 28 November and the other two on 30 November. By parallel histories do you mean that the articles existed alongside each other, and text was merged from one to another? It looks to me as though text was "moved" to start the new articles, and the old one has no important history after the splits. —rybec 03:26, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
