Copy-and-paste has resulted in missing attribution edit

- @Mathew5000: Major League Baseball tie-breaking procedures (1995-2011) has only 1 edit and no deleted edits. I see nothing to do. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:49, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard:, there is only 1 edit, but it is a copy-and-paste job which does not give proper attribution to all the other editors who contributed to the text of the article. Therefore the history of Major League Baseball tie-breaking procedures (up to February 2012) should be duplicated at Major League Baseball tie-breaking procedures (1995-2011) per Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves.

Done, but I cannot duplicate a history, so I moved Major League Baseball tie-breaking procedures's history up to mid-March 2012 to here. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:48, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
Tiebreaker between Division Champions edit
- NOTE: this is regarding no tiebreaker games being required. This is to dispute that intra-division record could NOT have been the first tiebreaker used for seeding amongst division champions, even prior to 2012 and regardless of the restrictions regarding seeding and matchups due to the team with the best record and wild card residing in the same division. Also, division records in these scenarios can be found at mlb.com.
| Year | Seeding | Team (higher seed) | Team (lower seed) | Intra-division record | Head-to-head record |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2004 | AL 2 & 3 | Anaheim Angels | Minnesota Twins | ANA: 32–26 (.552) MIN: 46–30 (.605) |
ANA won 5–4 |
| 2007 | AL 1 & 2 | Boston Red Sox | Cleveland Indians | BOS: 42–30 (.583) CLE: 48–24 (.667) |
BOS won 5–2 |
