• White Rabbit (disambiguation) → White rabbit Anthony Appleyard? Macr86 (talk) 03:43, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

  Anthony Appleyard, Anthony Appleyard, it's me Macr86. Macr86 (talk) 03:46, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

  Anthony Appleyard, I can't move White Rabbit (disambiguation) to White rabbit. Now, I need your help to get move back to the article White rabbit. Macr86 (talk) 03:51, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

•  Not done. See move discussions in Talk:White Rabbit (disambiguation). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:21, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

  Anthony Appleyard, you gotta help me. You're the only one who knows how to move the page works. Macr86 (talk) 22:52, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

  All right, I'll prove it to you. Macr86 (talk) 02:39, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

• Hey Anthony, it's me from the Animal Armageddon discussion page. If you're still looking for a good dvd of Animal Armageddon, you can find one from the Mighty Ape website from either Australia or New Zealand if they have not released it in England yet, but if you do order it from there, you might need a region free dvd player. If they did release Animal Armageddon on dvd in your region, it was more then likely distrubited by Parthenon Entertainment Limited, and should have all eight episodes, so it should be much better then the Animal Armageddon: Target Earth DVD. --74.76.134.225 (talk) 08:32, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
• eBay search just now showed 4 Animal Armageddon DVD's but all are the Target Earth version, which I already have and half the series is missing in it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:02, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
• Try this: 1, This one has all eight episodes. This place is in New Zealand, but they deliver to the United States, so I'm sure they deliver to England too. You will need a Paypal account to buy from the site, but I'm sure you have one from Ebay.--74.76.134.225 (talk) 05:48, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

• This move request was in the uncontroversials section of Wikipedia:Requested moves: (Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:47, 1 January 2011 (UTC))
  • MOD-5B Wind Turbine → NASA wind turbines– preserve the long edit history of the MOD 5B article and merge in stubs at MOD 2 and NASA wind turbine to rationalize name of article. Better to have one strong article than three stubs. Wtshymanski (talk) 02:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
• Has the text-merge been done, or not? What do you want to be moved to where? Someone moved NASA wind turbines to NASA wind turbine. There is no article MOD 2 and no articles whose names start 'MOD 2'. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:47, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
• What I would like is for MOD-5B Wind Turbine to be moved to NASA wind turbines. The text that is now at NASA wind turbine will be merged to the post-move version of NASA wind turbines. The stub that is now at MOD-2 Wind Turbine will get merged to NASA wind turbines. NASA wind turbine will turn into a redirect to the plural version, or could be deleted. (This shuffle also incidentally fixes capitalization problems in article titles, too.) --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:53, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Done the text-merges. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:42, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

• Hey there. I appreciated you moving the Afrocentrism article to Afrocentricity, recognizing it as a simple matter and non-controversial. However, since then, another administrator has gone and moved it back, and a discussion as begun over on the talk page. I'd appreciate it if you'd weigh in there. I'm about to comment again myself as to the validity of that particular administrator making the move, as he/she is clearly biased against Afrocentricity (the movement as a whole). Chaosthethird (talk) 03:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
• See Talk:Afrocentrism#Requested Move: this move is controversial. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:45, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

• Hi, when I nominated the move, I didn't realise that there was actually a separate, different page already existing at Hocus Pocus (album) (an album by Enon). Is it possible to move the article in question over top of the re-direct Hocus Pocus (Kaela Kimura album) and restore the original article? Terribly sorry about that. --Prosperosity (talk) 07:39, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Anthony... in this section of my talk page I have been asked about situations where a group of users have worked on a new version of an article in user space, and want to move it and its history to article space. I know cut-and-paste is not the right thing to do here, but the question being asked is now getting beyond what I am confident in answering. I know you do a lot at the cut-and-paste repair page, so I was wondering if you would read this section of my user talk and comment on the issues discussed and correct any errors I might have made. Many Thanks, EdChem (talk) 11:43, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

• Can you fix the attribution spaghetti left at the failed histmerge for Khomasdal/version 2 ? As I understand it, shouldn't the old page remain at the original name, as it contains the original article history, and the merger be done on the old page, instead of the new page displacing the edit history of the old page? 184.144.163.241 (talk) 12:32, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
• The request was to history-merge User:Ryno Coetzee/sandbox to Khomasdal, but this could not be done due to these two pages having parallel histories between 12:10, 26 September 2010 and 12:05, 31 December 2010, so instead I did a plain move, and moved the old Khomasdal to Khomasdal/version 2 out of the way first. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:42, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Hmm, but now all improvements by User:Ryno Coetzee are gone, and at least I cannot see them anymore. Is there a possibility for you to retrieve what he wrote and drop that somewhere into my user space? Sorry for causing a mess here, I have been trouted before for just copying student edits to article space and wasn't really aware what a histmerge requires. --Pgallert (talk) 18:45, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
    • Sorry, I only now saw your note on Talk:Khomasdal. Will copy it from the version you provided, then. --Pgallert (talk) 19:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
      • I merged the new into the old, so the old history remains (as it should), and added the attribution templates to the talk page. 184.144.163.241 (talk) 06:28, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I am so sorry I haven't logged into Wikipedia in many months. I only wrote was ABOVE that line, not the description you quoted. I'm sorry I can't help more.Boweneer (talk) 00:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
