User talk:Mangojuice/Slave
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mangojuice, why do you think "Merge" votes are requests for the closing admin to do the merge? I think probably they're just opinions that the articles should be merged by someone. The most I would expect from a closing admin would be to put mergeto and mergefrom tags on the articles. Cheers, Kla'quot 06:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Let me put it this way. Someone has to implement the merge if that's the way the debate turns out, right? If the closing admin doesn't do it, who will? Regular users are slaves even less than administrators! And, adding {{mergeto}} and such doesn't really implement anything, and is in fact confusing, because those tags open new discussion on the article talk pages: if merge is the outcome of an AfD, it already has consensus and should be performed, and further discussion is unnecessary. I think a lot of people do mean that someone should take the time and effort to do the merge, but not them, and those people don't think about who will end up doing it... my point is, they should. :) Mangojuicetalk 05:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
