Merge[edit]

MERGE

Consensus was that 2014 rescue mission in Yemen is to be merged into 2014 hostage rescue operations in Yemen. (non-admin closure) Arfæst ! 14:56, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2014 rescue mission in Yemen was created on 27 November 2014‎. --Anton^Talk 15:14, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AntanO, the article is a stub. Without further expansion, it should be merged back. Which title though? --George Ho (talk) 17:40, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Both title seems ok for me, but merging should be done correctly. --Anton^Talk 03:07, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Look, why does knowing which one went first matter? Perhaps it's time to re-redirect the one that went first to this article. Please? --George Ho (talk) 16:01, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Repeat the question (logic) and see why can't you re-redirect this to 2014 rescue mission in Yemen or merge as proposed. Btw, do not remove maintenance tag during discussion. It is the responsibility of editor to check same article before to start new article. Within short time some of you developed this article and re-redirected previous article to this? Sometime, I see bias. Will anyone allow me to create an article and re-redirect former article to newly started one? --Anton^Talk 03:11, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article "2014 rescue mission in Yemen" had been merged into "2014 hostage rescue operations in Yemen", but it was reverted because the "rescue mission" article went first. Shall the "rescue mission" article be re-redirected to the "hostage rescue operations" article, or shall the "hostage rescue operations" article be merged into the other? --George Ho (talk) 04:00, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I never seen it has been merged. If so, I do not see my contribution at 2014 hostage rescue operations in Yemen even I contributed to the article first. So called "merge" was done by a non-admin user. How can it be possible?--Anton^Talk 04:30, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-admins users can be bold and merge if its obvious the articles should be merged. "Editors should use their discretion to decide whether or not a discussion should occur before spending the time to merge articles." "If the need for a merge is obvious, individual editors can be bold and simply do it." That page isn't even policy, it's consensus, so no there isn't red tape if its obvious they should be merged. Hello32020 (talk) 00:12, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have you ever merged two or more articles? I am an admin in one of the sister projects, and I know how to merge. Re-redirect is not merge. What do did for imitating as merge was not merge. If so, I would see my contribution at history. Could you show me where is my contribution at history? --Anton^Talk 04:18, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are an administrator of Tamil Wikipedia. I don't know how Tamil website operates, but you haven't been granted administration rights in English Wikipedia yet. We do not run like Tamil, and I don't get your "What do did [sic] for imitating as merge was not merge." I have merged two articles into Glen and Les Charles and other articles before, but I'm not Hello32020. By the way, how are you able to type Tamil? By Tamil keyboard? --George Ho (talk) 05:40, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the articles should be merged.Olegwiki (talk) 21:33, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To where, olegwiki? --George Ho (talk) 19:48, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2014 rescue mission in Yemen should be merged into 2014 hostage rescue operations in Yemen. SamuelDay1 (talk) 21:18, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
