The above two histories maintain a record of which edits were adjacent to each other in one or the other formerly separate articles' courses of development. From this date, those edits will appear in the common history in chronological order, in some cases presenting confusing information when seeming consecutive versions are compared. Nevertheless, the information about editors, and text of each version, remains valid and easily available; the same information formerly available in the separate histories regarding changes to content in each edit can still be obtained by use of the tool for comparing any two versions, as long as care is taken to consult the above former histories for the information as to what version provided the initial text upon which the edit in question was performed.

Grammar Errors

I only read a section of this article, but it is clear that there are many grammatical/writing errors. For instance: "...days before he was to be executed, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland granted clemency..." says that the governor was about to be executed.
