Thanks for the help, but I'm still a bit confused about this case: in
enwiki-20090714-stub-meta-history.xml the AmericanSamoa page has a pageId of
6; as shown below. But, in enwiki-20090914-stub-meta-history.xml it has an
id of 23741520 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/AmericanSamoa>,
with only the last edit history entry. So what happen? Is this an example of
a delete, then restore with a new id? Why are the older revisions missing or
does a restore only restore the latest revision?
XML from enwiki-20090714-stub-meta-history.xml for AmericanSamoa:
