Thanks for doing this Anthony Appleyard, is there any chance Talk:Paul Robeson High School (Illinois) can be histmerged to Talk:Paul Robeson High School (Chicago)? The Illinois one predates the Chicago one and same WikiProject's. Please let me know as I need to move the Chicago one to the Illinois one. Thank you Steven (Editor) (talk) 17:15, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Anthony Appleyard, Orchard Park High School (Croydon) was created on 23 August 2017‎ by a new editor who copied the content across with the only change being a minor edit to the text and addition of history and mission statement. Edenham High School should have been moved instead of a new page created as it renamed after becoming an academy in 2015. The same editor then edited the Edenham one 14 minutes later with edit summary "Orchard Park Name Change". The revisions from before 23 August 2017‎ is what needs to be histmerged, is this possible? See this comparison diff - or how about histmerging the other way, would that be possible/work? Would be good if its together in one place as some of the text is from the Edenham one - I do wish I was there when this page was being created as then I could take the necessary steps and move the other one which would have prevented this mess. Please let me know, thank you Steven (Editor) (talk) 16:04, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
@Steven (Editor): The history of page Edenham High School seems to be continuous across the date 23 August 2017‎. I would be cutting one edit history in order to rejoin another edit history. Best put a history note in Talk:Orchard Park High School (Croydon). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:17, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Anthony Appleyard, thanks for replying. I have another solution and the best way forward as a way of keeping things together in one place. The page history of Orchard Park High School (Croydon) is much shorter than the Edenham one and was originally titled Orchard Park High School and Sixth Form (Croydon). So what I'm going to do is move this page back to its original title and redirect it as well as current name to Edenham High School. Move/copy my changes across to the Edenham one and then move that page to Orchard Park High School (Croydon). Everything will be explained in edit summary for future reference and a merge from tag added to the Edenham one - the only difference is the History section although some of this text seems to be from the intro text of Edenham High School.
