Talk:Atomic Lake

Redirect target

I'm somewhat puzzled by this edit changing the target from Lake Chagan to Chagan (nuclear test). According to the (current) target article, Atomic Lake is another name for Lake Chagan. [1]

Moe Epsilon, I see you're still contributing, can you remember the rationale for the change? The edit summary you gave was (dr). Does that refer to wp:dr, and if so, where is the discussion? We should link to it from here. Andrewa (talk) 23:41, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Andrewa: The edit I made was from 2006, now thirteen years ago and hundreds of thousands of contributions ago (so I obviously don't remember off the top of my head). I'm looking at the edit and I don't believe it had anything to do with dispute resolution. I believe it had to do with a double redirect. I'm looking through the history of the article and both articles were very short articles with mostly the same content and I see a few edit summaries mentioning a proposed merger. Based on that, I'm assuming someone else merged the articles, there was a double redirect I fixed, and then some point in the future they became separate articles again leaving behind the redirect to not be fixed. — Moe Epsilon 00:08, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! That explains everything. I have redirected to the detailed article. [2] I didn't want to do that without consulting you first. Andrewa (talk) 04:26, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Not a problem :) — Moe Epsilon 06:21, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
