[edit] George Thomson (Seoirse Mac Tomáis)

Hi. I just checked if there was an existing article on George Thomson - I thought there might be - and I found one at George Thomson (philosopher). I put a merge tag on the article you created just now. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Just thinking: Actually I think that the merged article shoud work from your article, if you know what I mean. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 01:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Couple of points: I've put the merge tag on the second article. These tags can be replaced by "mergefrom" and "mergeto", if we can decide the destination title. Captain, you've been busy - I salute you! I'll just comment that merges are a bit, what, technical. I'll undertake to do it. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
OK, all sorted out now. I've used the middle name, which is better than either of those two titles. 21:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charles Matthews (talk • contribs)
Actually, I was going to come back to this tonight, as I wasn't sure which name to go for; I'm afraid my brain wasn't up to complicated tasks last night. (:O)) FlowerpotmaN·(t) 22:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Sound. No bother lads (didn't know how to do redirects anyway). Captain Fearnought (talk) 21:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robin Flower

Hi Charles, I just changed 'Robin Flower' to Robin Flower (Bláithín) so I hope you have no objection to it. Great to see other people aware of him anyway. Captain Fearnought (talk) 23:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually I don't understand this move. Names inside parentheses are meant for disambiguation but there is no other article by the name of Robin Flower so disambiguation is unnecessary. —Wknight94 (talk) 12:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I've now handled this in a more conventional way. Namely, I've put Bláithín in the article text, created a redirect, and moved the page back. Thanks for bringing this up. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
