[edit] 'Rift Valley' Merge

These two articles should be merged - 169.226.229.165 - 02:42, 1 March 2006

I take it you are proposing to bring the contents of Rift Valley into this 'Rift (geology)' article. They don't mean exactly the same thing, so it's not clear that this merge should take place. A rift valley is a valley created by the formation of a rift.

Do any logged in users want to vote for/support this proposal? If nobody cares either way, we can have a slow discussion here, but in the meantime I suggest we remove the ugly 'merge' proposal message. I've linked to Rift Valley in the text, so that people are aware the other article exists.-- Nojer2 12:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Nojer in that a geological rift and a rift valley are sufficiently different to warrant separate articles. I am removing the merge proposal because I can't see any pressing reason for a merge, and it's ugly. After all, we can always merge them later if a good reason emerges. -- Pyrofysh 10:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
