Two different pages showing identical histories

Description

I came across Aliabad (34°03′ N 48°11′ E), Khaveh-ye Jonubi and Aliabad (34°02′ N 48°10′ E), Khaveh-ye Jonubi yesterday, and noticed that their histories are identical; the only differences are the page sizes (one was started slightly larger than the other). How did this happen, and what (if anything) should be done about it?

There are several pages involved here. Probably needs a check in the DB...

These are two different pages about two different villages, which just happens to have the same name and lie somewhat nearby each other. All of the edits were clearly (semi-)automated, and the pages are close to each other, alphabetically, so they happened at similar times. Nothing is wrong here.
