This problem can be solved without developers'
help -- if you can
identify which revision goes with which article.
That's the problem - I'm pretty sure there was a cut n' paste move
between the two which was the reason for the history merge in the first
place (as often happens on WP:RM...). But the mistake I made was
merging the entire history of the two.
It might be just simple redirects after the major history of the
unaccented version, but I'm not sure :(.
(Move from Montreal Expos to accented version of same name).
Thanks,
Ryan
