[edit] Merge Proposal with History of central banking in the United States

I'm confused by the merge proposal. Did you mean to ask if "History of the Federal Reserve" could be redirected here? --EGeek (talk) 03:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

• Hey man -- no, it seems as though the two pages carry similar, or even repetitive, content that bares consolidating, but I wanted to get your feedback first. I suppose a good question would be, for what reasons should this page remain separate? --AntiPartisanship (talk) 08:22 a.m., 17 March 2008 (EST)

True, but this was discussed when this material was proposed to be split from the Federal Reserve System article. It was decided that the history of the Federal Reserve needed its own article instead of combining it with the history of central banking. It might be more valuable to merge material into this article than merge it into more general articles. For example, the format of the central banking article is much easier to look at than the current state of the Federal Reserve article. --EGeek (talk) 19:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Good point. Maybe we should move this discussion over there. On the same subject, I think it might be worth changing the URL of the other article, because it's pretty misleading. That article's topic is considerably broader. --AntiPartisanship (talk) 04:17 p.m., 17 March 2008 (EST)
