Talk:Isaac Leib Peretz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I just found there are three articles for this person: one is this one, and the other two are: Yitzhak Leibush Peretz Yitzok Lebesh Peretz The most complete is this one. It would be a good Idea for the next administrator that looks at this, to make a way to have just one article about this great Yidish writer in Wikipedia, which at least as I see it, would be delete the other two articles, given the fact this is te most complete. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shinaco (talk • contribs) 23 May 2005 .
[edit] Solved the problem.
As nobody reacted to my suggestion, or perhaps I did not wait long enough, I just redirected the other two articles to this one, and took any information in those two that was not here and added it. I think it was a good solution for this problem. A good idea to avoid getting different articles of the same person, just because nobody agrees on how the name should be spelled in English, would be, when you are trying to create a new article, to get a warning if there is actually an article with a title with similar spelling and ask the writer to check out that article. Is that possible? - (User:Shinaco May 25, 2005)
- You did right to merge them. I don't think there is any way to automate a warning, but when creating an article where multiple spellings are possible, it is usually best to create as many of the relevant redirects as possible when you create the article, which will solve the problem. -- Jmabel | Talk 16:15, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Expansion
There is a request for expansion on this, and it could certainly be far more thorough, but that is supposed to be accompanied by an indication on the talk page of what exactly someone wants to see covered; there is none. - Jmabel | Talk 17:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I would be interested in seeing photos of Peretz and jackets from his books. I would also be interested in knowing the members of his immediate family. SR 7 SEPT 2006
