[edit] Merging
Hello, you sent this by e-mail:
- Perhaps you can help me with procedure. It seems to me that the User Space article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_space is good, while Userland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Userland is poor.
- I propose to eliminate Userland and point to User Space.
- I should post my proposal to the respective discussion pages? wait and go ahead?
- I would like to do much the same thing to Relay ladder logic and Ladder logic.
First of all, most wikipedians prefer user talk pages to sending e-mails, but that was probably not very clear from my user page — fixed now.
As for merging articles, it is usually done by placing {{merge|articlename}} templates on the articles for suggesting merges, to facilitate discussion. If no discussion takes place in a while, it's likely that nobody is opposed. Or if you are confident enough, you can be bold and merge articles without the templates and without a discussion — although this can result in wasted effort in case people reach a different consensus after discussing it later. For details about merging, see Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages.
I personally disagree with the merge of user space and userland — while "user space" is normally used to point out that some computer process is running in user mode (as opposed to kernel mode), userland normally refers to the programs and libraries (as in files) that make up the operating system. But of course I am not authoritative on this topic — it's better to start a discussion. -- intgr 21:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
