talk bosnian genocide archiving explain what wwoods has done see wp archiving there are two processes used to archive a page one involves moving a talk page to an archive the other involves cut and pasting from a talk page to an archive when this page was first archived i chose the cut and past method that also moves the history of the page into the archive this has the advantage that when there are heated discussion on the talk page people can easily check that the wording in the archive is an accurate reflection of what has been said what user woods has done is unwind that process of archiving through moving by merging the histories of the archives into the talk page and alter the method to a cut and past so that the page archiving can be automated using a bot i have no particular issue with the alteration in archiving methods but i do have an issued with wwoods doing it without gaining consent on the talk page first
