Should be merged with B.F. Jones and Benjamin F. Jones.Pustelnik (talk) 12:59, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

@BDD: Hi, since you recently edited Benjamin Franklin Jones (industrialist), and I was trying to sort out the edit history of that, I thought I'd ask if you could do a history merge:

• B. F. Jones and Benjamin F. Jones
• a cut-paste move was done on 10 November 2006 per this page compare
• There were just 2 edits to B. F. Jones before it was "moved", and it's been a redirect since. Thanks, Wbm1058 (talk) 02:37, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't quite follow, and histmerging remains mysterious to me in all but the most simple cases. (Maybe this should be a new year's resolution for me.) Do you know what I need to do exactly? If not, I'll have to ask for a hand, though I know just who to ask. --BDD (talk) 02:44, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The instructions are at

Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves. Does that help? Wbm1058 (talk) 02:46, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply

Or we could ask for help from someone who works at Wikipedia:WikiProject History Merge. Wbm1058 (talk) 02:50, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's a template for that: {{

Histmerge}}. I had forgotten about that, but I used it here. – Wbm1058 (talk) 17:56, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply

That's probably your best bet. Sorry I can't be more helpful. --BDD (talk) 00:53, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
