[edit] Relationship of "Mrs. Beauregarde" and "Scarlett Beauregarde" pages

These are two titles for the topic of Violet Beauregarde's mother; the "Mrs. ..." title is the proper one, since that name is (presumably) applicable in all versions of the tale, while some versions offer no given name for her.
Summary chronology of the topic's coverage:

• 00:32, 24 September 2005 - creation of Mrs. Beauregarde as two-sentence stub, limited to the book's character
• 5 edits add to article
• 16:07, 25 September 2005 - Mrs. Beauregarde becomes Rdr to article on her daughter, Violet Beauregarde (No change was made to the daughter's article; although there is no other information specific to Mrs B, this results in omitting any answer to "What is Violet's mother's name?", which, asssuming the Rdr is acceptable, is relevant there.)
• 18:57, 13 January 2006 - creation of Scarlett Beauregarde as three-sentence stub, with first additional information specific to Violet's mother: her given name, stated as common to all three versions of the story, and her outcome in one (unidentified) film
• The article grows, in a few dozen edits (including conversion on 3 March to Rdr, back to Violet Beauregarde, and reversion within 5 hours), beyond a half dozen paragraphs
• 01:20, 24 August 2006 - Scarlett Beauregarde becomes Rdr to Mrs. Beauregarde and SB's text goes, essentially unchanged in a cut-and-paste move, to MB (to replace the Rdr from MB to SB).
• About 20 more edits add to article
• The cut-and-paste move awaits repair

The cut-and-paste moves described above are improper (and arguably violate the GFDL), and it is important to remedy them per Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves. The only wrinkle to the resulting combined history may be confusion about the transitions in March and August, whose entries will now appear as entries in the history of one page, tho they originally reflected pages on separate pages.
