I agree, but do you believe that having the
information in the history
of an article which redirects to the one in question does satisfy the
GFDL? And what about the part of the merge that went into a different
page from the one the redirect went to? How does that questionably
satisfy the GFDL? I don't see it.
That's actually a very good point. Is there anyway to merge page
histories into
multiple articles?
It *could* be done with the import function, but it'd be very very
ugly. The histories would be intertwined, such that doing a diff of
one version to the next would give you a diff of two different
articles.
Alternatively the closest thing is to copy and paste
the
list of difs into a dif on the article noting that in the edit summary that it
has that there and then removing the list on the next dif (we've done this
before and somone I don't remember who commented that this was probably ok).
Honestly, I don't understand what that means.
And again, GFDL issues aren't my only concern.
Right, but as I said, I can't help you on your other concerns. I
haven't even decided my position on them. You're gonna have to argue
with someone else about that part :).
