[edit] Appalachia

Thanks for finally doing that merge... was a long time coming! Pfly 03:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Radagast83 03:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Ya, good to see the merging happening in lots of articles. Kudos for the (often) thankless work. Pairadox 04:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] North_Coast,_New_South_Wales

Thanks for merging this. I've been meaning to do it but never got around to it. Peter1968 06:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tiffany glass

The techniques for cutting all the different types of glass is identical, except in the case of Drapery glass. It is all said, just once, at the bottom of the article, in an inclusive way. It is unnecessary to repeat the same technique in every section. Amandajm (talk) 08:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm usually careful about those sort of things, I just happened to miss it this time. Good catch! Radagast83 (talk) 08:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iron extraction

I presume that you recently converted a page with detail on the above to a redirect to a section in the article on iron, because the two were too similar. I accept the principle that duplication is undesirable. However, the result is that the iron article says that the "main" article on the subject is blast furnace, but a balst furnace does not produce iron, only pig iron, with 4-5% of carbon and impurities. One problem is that reasobaly pure iron is no longer made, only carbon steel. I would suggest that the correct course would be to restore the extraction of iron article, and substitute a brief discussion of the main processes in the iron article, which would lead the reader to all the main processes: see also ironworks which is a sort of disambiguation page on this.

[edit] Computer Pioneers

You said you were unfamiliar with some of the authors of the article to be merged. Here's a link explaining their significance in computing science: http://www.ibiblio.org/pioneers/

[edit] Lanson merge

I reverted your merge of Lanson. It was strange since the only two expressed opinions on the subject in the Discuss were in opposition to this. You should only merge when an issue appears settled to a reasonable degree. MURGH disc. 10:00, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed contemporary ballet and neoclassical ballet merge

You proposed merging contemporary ballet and neoclassical ballet, however you have not discussed it on the talk page to allow others to consider your reasons. I have removed the tags as you need to present a case for merger. Paul foord (talk) 06:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Quite right, perhaps you could help Wikipedia out by removing the backlog of thousands of merge tags that have never been discussed on their respective talk pages at Category:Merge by month. Thanks! Radagast83 (talk) 08:04, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gastrula

When was this merger proposed and discussed please? and who by? was there a vote? thanks Peter morrell 08:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

If you check the history of the article, the merger was proposed in November 2007. The merger of Gastrula was supported on Talk:Gastrulation. The merger proceeded based on the Wikipedia policies for proposing and merging articles. Radagast83 (talk) 08:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect. It was proposed and execeuted by one person. That in no way comprises a consensus. The merger has also been reported to an admin for investigation. Meantime I have reverted your merger. This is only temporary until consensus can be agreed. Please be patient. thanks Peter morrell 09:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Am going to revert it back as it is probably not a contentious merger and the admin must be on holiday or 'out to lunch!' sorry and thanks Peter morrell 18:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, not to sound pompous, but I was correct. I followed the suggested course of action. It's proposed, if there is no dissension and it doesn't appear to be a merger that is controversial, it can be "completed" in a week or so. It has been 11 months. However I am glad it is all sorted out. Have fun! Radagast83 (talk) 04:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Polar Alignment

I noticed you merged the article at Polar Alignment into Equatorial mount. This seems incorrect place to put it since "Polar Alignment" is used with many devices, not just telescope mounts, for example; satellite dishs and sundials. Was there any discussion at all on the merge? No notice was not put up at Equatorial mount. As a term that covers many devices it probably should stay as a separate article. Another course of action may be AfD it since it may fall under both dictionary definition and partial "how-to" (in its former and current form). I will probably revert the merge unless there is some more obvious coarse of action you would like to suggest. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 22:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Puzzle globe merge

I took the liberty to undo your merge of Puzzle globe into Jigsaw puzzle, since this had been previously discussed and decided against unanimously at Talk:Jigsaw puzzle#Merge from Puzzle globe. I actually forgot to remove the merge tag after that discussion, so nevertheless I have to thank you for bringing back this issue. Waldir talk 08:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brewing

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Brewing.
It would save us all a lot of time! Happy editing TINYMARK 21:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Dang. Thanks. I almost always do one - from time to time I forget though. I'll remember in the future. Thanks and happy editing! Radagast83 (talk) 04:38, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Under topic "unintentionally confusing" ... :-)

Checking my watchlist I saw your edit to Chiang Kai-shek. I think if you'll read it again, you can see how I might get confused.

The Chiang Kai-shek Cultural Center (中正文化中心) is located in Kaohsuing, had the largest statue of Chiang Kai-shek removed from its premises following large protests by the opposition Kuomintang.

Was the statue removed "because of" or "inspite of" protests by the KMT? Were they protesting in favor of removing the statue, or against removing the statue? I think I know, but I wouldn't want to change the sentence based on that, and I'm not sure how to change the sentence to be clear. Shenme (talk) 04:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I actually don't know - that was the entirety of the content on the Chiang Kai-shek Cultural Center page. That article as it was probably should have just been deleted - but I figured that this event (if it did happen) would be better suited here, where it may be expanded on, then on the original page.
