They've confirmed on their talkpage: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:O%27Dea&oldid=468274796.

I'm hoping it's possible to merge the edit histories; however, I understand this may be an unusual practice. --Maxim -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
