I've re-opened this page; I did this to replace some lost content, and to try and untangle it's edit history.
This page originally referred to a
US operation in Iraq; this was redirected on on 28 Feb 2007 and the edit history for that misplaced when the page was moved on 1 Oct 2009.
It then acquired content about the two German operations from
Operation Nordlicht in September 2009. The original format is
here, and the edit history is
here, from 30 September to 27 December 2009.
Much of this disappeared when the page was re-written to be about a Soviet offensive, and moved to
Sinyavin Offensive (1942), in January 2010.
So I'm working back to connect to what's lost.

This article was the subject of a request move ( discussion here), which was closed today; the result was that the article should be at "Operation Nordlicht". As the article was originally at this title, and most of the edit history is here (see explanation), the article was transferred by re-instating the deleted text, and transferring the changes (about a dozen) made while the article was at the other title. In case anyone is wondering... Xyl 54 ( talk) 23:53, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Article transferred, as discussed. Xyl 54 ( talk) 23:41, 16 November 2011 (UTC) Xyl 54 ( talk) 23:41, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Operation Northern Light → Operation Nordlicht – German name of the operation is predominantly used in English language (and other) literature when referring to the event and is as such highly recognizable - according naming guidelines given at Wikipedia:Article titles and at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) name should then be Operation Nordlicht. Also it is currently the main redirect to the actual article page so it is also used within wikipedia already.
It would also maintain uniformity within naming of German operations since for example other German operations of World War II in Northern Finland use German names - Operation Silberfuchs, Operation Renntier, Operation Polarfuchs (also Operation Birke but i just recently created the article so it is not valid for such comparison - due bias) Wanderer602 ( talk) 05:55, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

WP:SCOPE -- This article is about two different operations, the one in 1942 and the one from 1944. These should not be placed into one article, since they are two different topics with only the name being the same. 70.24.248.23 ( talk) 01:28, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Would somebody care to explain what’s going on here?
I’ve just found a
note on my talk page saying I’ve “carried out a cut and paste move” (which is
patently not the case), and now find the pages have now all been moved around again.
When this move was proposed (
above), I pointed out the edit history was
messed up, and
proposed a remedy to minimize the disruption. Now that has all been dismissed, and the pages jumbled up again.
Would somebody care to explain what’s been done and why?
