**It seems to me that the merge needed is more between [[poison]] and [[toxin]] as the distinction is subtle and toxins being a subset of poisons. Toxicity is a discussion of how potent poisons and toxins are and could be a section on that page but seems also fine as its own page. |

Revision as of 19:30, 31 May 2005
Below is a list of duplicate articles that have been created mostly by mistake. They have to be merged into a single piece of work, and one title has to be redirected to the other (or a completely new page must be created) in accordance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions and Wikipedia:Canonicalization.
Categories that need merging can be listed [together] on Wikipedia:Categories for deletion where one category will be deleted after merging into the other.
Although this page does not automatically update as does Category:Articles to be merged, this page has nevertheless been kept because unlike the category page, this page allows editors to make comments about the articles to be merged.
If you disagree with a "merge" indication then you can remove it, or change the template from {{merge|Article Name}} to {{MergeDisputed|Article Name}} and discuss it on this page until consensus is reached.

Actively avoiding duplicates
You can help prevent the creation of duplicate articles (and the resulting wasted effort) by:
- Searching for existing articles on the same subject before creating any new articles.
- Creating redirects for every term that is synonymous with the article's name, provided that it doesn't have to be disambiguated.
- Using the correct existing capitalization of an article name when linking to it.
- Instead of contributing to an article - check first that an article on essentially the same subject does not already exist. If it does, put merge notices on the two articles and then contribute to the correct one.
Wikipedia:Orphaned Articles lists articles that aren't linked to, and may have been created when a new article was created without having searched for a previously existing article.
Mark current duplicates
If you find a pair of articles which appear to be duplicates, merge them! If you can't carry out the merge yourself, it is suggested that you put the following at top of each:
- {{merge|Other article}}
This marks the pages so that future viewers will see that it needs to be merged.
If you know which way the merge should go, you can put the following at the top of the article where the merged material should end up:
- {{mergefrom|Other article}}
and the following at the top of the article that contains material to be merged with the other article:
- {{mergewith|Other article}}
Please note that this list at the bottom of this page is not generated automatically, and its entries must be added by hand (unlike Category:Articles to be merged).
Many Wikipedia users prefer to avoid having tags at the top of articles, particularly if it's not relevant to the reader of the article. Consider using these tags sparingly, and use the discussion page to discuss how to merge articles where it's not obvious whether or how the article should be merged.
How articles should be merged
Before you begin with the process of merging the articles, it is recommended that you take these bits of advice into consideration:
- Usually, an experienced user will suggest that one article (the source) be absorbed into another (the target).
- Read both articles carefully and decide which article has the more appropriate title and content.
- Merge the content by copying/pasting from one window to another. Be sure not to allow any of the good content to be lost in the transfer.
- The articles don't necessarily have to be merged at once. You can let others collaborate with the merging process, by placing the {{merging|Target article name}} template on the page that you will merge from (the source page). In this way, confusion will also be avoided, as others will know that the source page is outdated, and that all further contributions should only be included in the target page.
- Upon completion, it is critical to place a redirect on the page that the content has been moved from. For example, if you move the content of "John Ronald Doe" into "John Doe" you replace the content of the former with "#REDIRECT [[John Doe]]". This helps people find the new article title and prevents others from mistakenly recreating the duplicate.
- If you copy material from one article to the other, you must explain in your edit comment that you have done so, giving the name of the source article, for example "Merged material from [[John Ronald Doe]] into section "Biography"." This is important so that all contributors to the article can be properly credited, as required by the GFDL.
Alternatively, you could also leave the two pages distinct (without a redirect), but complete the text of one of the pages so that it is no longer a duplicate, incorrect, or a stub. For example, someone might suggest that the "Cinema of India" and "History of Indian Cinema" be merged, as they contain mostly duplicate information. In this case "Cinema of India" should contain an overview of the subject, including a short summary of the history, with a link to "History of Indian Cinema" which should contain the detailed history.
After a pair has been merged, please remove it from the list below (both the source and target pages). If you want to show off your work, use the Talk Page.
Articles to be merged

A
- There is great overlap between these two Afghanistan articles[:] Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Worse, they do not agree with each other! TwoOneTwo 22:27, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
- Americo-Liberian & True Whig: They seem to be the same group of people in Liberia, right ? -- PFHLai 17:44, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
- The former are an ethnic population while the latter are/were a political organization controlled by and representing that population.The articles would appear capable of development in divergent directions.--Louis E./le@put.com12.144.5.2 04:52, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Autism epidemic should be merged into the "Increase in diagnoses of autism" section ofAutism. Feco 20:41, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

- Battle of the Planets to Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman - If Battle of the Planets had been a faithful adaptation of Gatchaman this merge would make clear sense. However, Battle is so heavily edited from Gatchaman that it's perhaps fairer to describe it as "made with footage from Gatchaman" than as an English version that doesn't warrant a separate article. The two articles need cleanup to separate what is BotP-specific from what is Gatchaman-specific, but IMHO they do not need a merge. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:09, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
- There is also the question of where to put material relating the G-Force and Eagle Riders - two other translations of Gatchaman. My inclination would be to use Battle of the Planets for all English-language versions, and Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman for all Japanese language versions, with cross-linking as appropriate. Bluap 10:24, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
- Eagle Riders was actually a translation of the two sequel series. G-Force was an accurate enough translation of the show that my inclination is to put it, along with Eagle Riders, at the Gatchaman article. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:08, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
- There is also the question of where to put material relating the G-Force and Eagle Riders - two other translations of Gatchaman. My inclination would be to use Battle of the Planets for all English-language versions, and Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman for all Japanese language versions, with cross-linking as appropriate. Bluap 10:24, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
- Beast of Exmoor should include the material in Tyrenga, as per Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Tyrenga. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 05:45, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
- I think Feldspar has hit it on the head. BOTP needs to be separated, unless the BOTP article cannot be brought up to standard, then perhaps delete it (but That's another issue).Osprey

- Catholic, Catholicism, and Roman Catholic Church should be merged. -- Tony Jin | (talk) 00:53, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Catholic and Catholicism perhaps, but not Roman Catholic Church. Catholic and Catholicism both deal with churches which describe themselves as "catholic" in some sense, including but not limited to the Roman Catholic Church. -- Joshua 01:58, Apr 21, 2005 (CDT)
- Catholic and Roman Catholic are different terms. People who use Catholic often mean '"RC. But there are Anglicans who call themselves Catholic but not '"Roman Catholic. In no way can these articles be merged. FearÉIREANN 21:06, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Cheng Kun should be merged into The Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber as per VfD. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 04:08, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
- Chinese Christians should be merged with Christianity in China, though Chinese Christians is very short and seems to only contain information about persecution. Coralys 03:27, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
- Christian year, liturgical year, and current content of religious festival; latter needs to become general article on the topic. Elf | Talk 00:25, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I merged the first two together into liturgical year; the latter remains unmerged. -Aeinome 21:16, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)
- Christian calendar needs to be merged in there, too. Fishal 07:04, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- It makes sense to have Christian year and Christian calendar merged into liturgical year. I think that religious festival should have some very general discussion about religious festivals and link to articles like liturgical year, Jewish holidays, and so on, rather than merging all of these into religious festival. Wesley 17:59, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- The articles Cleaners and Cleaning Company Commandos are closely related topics that probably don't merit separate articles; they should possibly even be merged with Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, the game from which they originate. --DynSkeet (talk) 17:28, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Conflict management should be merged with Conflict resolution --213.156.52.112 22:49, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
D
- Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals should include materials from Daubert Standard. -- Toytoy 14:45, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Dixon Hill has been turned back into the version I originally wrote when I created it, making it a duplicate of the "Dixon Hill" section in Jean-Luc Picard. — JIP | Talk 13:46, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- Death metal growl ought to be merged with Death grunt. I'm not sure which title would be more appropriate, though. - Quirk 09:31, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
- In my view Dharamsala and McLeod Ganj should be treated as one locality and merged. Mona-Lynn 23:17, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
E
- Earnings management should be merged into Creative accounting. --Theo (Talk) 21:28, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Eglin should be merged into Eglin_Air_Force_Base. By itself, the latter article presents a misleading picture of this base.--Smallwhitelight 23:04, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
- Eisenach sights should be merged into Eisenach, Germany as the latter (main) article has already a rudimentary sights list of the town. Though I am not altogether convinced that all the items mentioned and described in Eisenach sights should be included, they should be most certainly in the main article where they may be found immediately rather than to be looked for in a separate article. Dieter Simon 00:19, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
- Elephant in the corner and Elephant in the room are about essentially the same expression. The former has more content, but which is the better title? -- Blotwell 03:11, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- A quick Google check returns ~900 hits for "elephant in the corner," ~70K hits for "elephant in the room" and ~20K hits for "elephant in the * room." OTOH, the "corner" article has a longer history than the "room" article. Unsure if that's a factor. Rossumcapek 21:17, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- Emergy - not an encyclopedia article. I have moved the contents to Talk:Embodied energy. They may or may not be useful for merging with Embodied energy. - Mike Rosoft 15:53, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Elephant_Butte_Dam_and_Reservoir and Elephant_Butte_Reservoir, you say tomAto, I say tomaato. I say get rid of the latter. WikiDon 00:09, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
- Event driven should be merged into Event-driven programming. The second has the better name and more information to boot with. --S.K. 16:50, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
F
- Far East Air Force (USAFFE), USAFFE, Philippine Army Air Corps, Philippine Department, Offshore Patrol—need to be rationalised somehow
- Federal Republic of Germany Seemingly a willful namespace 'fork' from Germany, to which this was very recently simply a redirect. Evidently a spill-over from an article content dispute. Alai 11:52, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- finance and insurance should be merged into pre-existing and more comprehensive article financial services. clarkk 14:31, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- Financial accounting and Financial accountancy —Gabbe 11:00, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Folk etymology is the appropriate term for what has been filed under Fake etymology--ZayZayEM 11:39, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- No! See the last entry on the discussion page of Folk etymology. They are clearly separate (if certainly confusing) terms. I have removed the merge request. Mwanner 21:33, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC
G
- Gateway Bridge and Gateway Bridge, Brisbane are two articles about the Gateway Bridge in Brisbane that have similar (but far from identical) content. They should be merged under the Gateway Bridge name as there is only one 'Gateway Bridge' in the world. Mathieu McGuire 10:17, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Geologic age and Geologic period. Considering the much larger number of incoming links its probably better to merge age into period, although age as a bit more info. --Nabla 21:12, 2005 May 9 (UTC)
- Gilbert Islands contents should be merged with Kiribati as the former is just the colonial name for the latter.JBellis 21:02, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
- Graph theory, Graph (mathematics), Glossary of graph theory. I'm sorry to say that I contributed to this topic before I took a better look. I put together, from scratch, a nice, short, introductory glossary of terms, planning to go back and fix links in other articles I wrote "hoping" they would point to explanations of specific terms in graph theory. I'm not sorry I did the work; the existing material is impenetrable to the layman. I think both my "kiddies" glossary and the collegiate-level material should be retained under different headings.
- The other material seems to have a large overlap among these three pages, and I can't help but wonder if there are more. Seven Bridges of Königsberg is the classic introduction to graph theory but I feel it can stand on its own. But the three articles I've cited above are all general discussions of the topic and should be merged. I'm not entirely sure I'm competent to do the entire merge myself. — Xiong (talk) 21:08, 2005 Mar 20 (UTC)
- This was discussed at some length here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#Graph_.28mathematics.29_vs_Graph_theory. The majority view was to keep at least Graph theory and Graph (mathematics) seperate. Paul August ☎ 21:28, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)
- I should say clearly that I can accept more than one page on the subject. But the content now spread out among all three needs to be refactored into some more sensible arrangement.I'm taking this discussion to the proper place; thanks for pointing it out, sorry I was too headstrong to discover it for myself. — Xiong (talk) 02:48, 2005 Mar 21 (UTC)
- Just come across Geodetic datum and Geodetic system. Both are stubs and I don't think much can be added to them that isn't already covered in Geodesy (which looks quite thorough). So I'm proposing that they both get merged to Geodesy. Not sure I have enough knowledge of the field (or time to learn) to do it myself though! Thanks - munt fish 12:58, 2005 Mar 23 (UTC)
- The contents of Gija Joseon should incorporate Jizi. --Puzzlet Chung 15:17, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- I think that Gooseneck barnacle should merge with Barnacle ... Gingko 22:41, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
H
- The near-stub Hamming weight should probably be merged into Hamming distance. (The Hamming distance from zero is the Hamming weight). --DavidCary 20:54, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Hanilgalbat should be merged with Mitanni; both refer to the same polity and Mitanni is the more commonly used term. --Briangotts 15:42, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Health issues and the effects of cannabis was put up for a merger with Cannabis (drug). I disagree because these issues also apply to medicinal marijuana. For an alternative (and more drastic) proposal of mine see Talk:Hemp#Two_articles_or_one.3F. DirkvdM 08:27, 2005 May 4 (UTC)
- Hebridan (Stargate) can be merged into List of lesser planets (Stargate) RJFJR 19:23, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
- History of LEGO is still there as a separate article, but it does indeed need merging with LEGO. It still has the merge notice, so it's no good just removing it from the 'Duplicate articles' list, Areia. You will have to do something about it, I'm afraid. Dieter Simon 21:22, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
- History_of_Tonga should be merged into Tonga
- These should not be merged. It is appropriate to have an article on a country with a history summary and have a link to a more in depth history article Alan Liefting 20:03, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I think what Brim has problems with is that the main article is actually more in depth than the independent article. The Tonga entry on history needs to be made more into a summary. --Woohookitty 09:11, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Hachi-Ko should be merged into Hachiko. The former has more text, but Google seems to think the latter spelling is more popular, and it has a more encyclopedic tone. —Brent Dax 20:37, 18 May 2005 (UTC) (And ought to check Hachi-Ko for possible copyvio. Elf | Talk 21:41, 18 May 2005 (UTC))

- Jewish identity is a very stubby article with a good name. Who is a Jew? is a very good, in-depth article with a very poor name. I recommend keeping the content of Who is a Jew? under the name Jewish identity but I don't know how to do it so that the history and discussion page of Who is a Jew? are retained. --Angr 11:20, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Jury trial and jury: a lot of material in jury is about the trial process, and should be moved accordingly. US-specific and non-US specific aspects should be sorted out. Jury should keep jury selection, indemnification etc.
- Juan "Chi-Chi" Rodriguez has a problem with special characters in the filename. Please see Category_talk:Golfers for an explanation and Category:Golfers for a demonstration of the problem. Merging to the one that displays properly—the one with the 1-byte %-code—is preferred, unless internationalization has been prioritized, and then someone should open a bug to get the category-page generator to display the wide-char %-codes properly. Blair P. Houghton 21:06, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- User:Pcpcpc has deleted the link from Category:Golfers, which is okay for that category page, but doesn't change the fact that there are two pages with the same name and different URLs, neither of which is a redirect. Blair P. Houghton 19:23, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Kreuger, Ivar into Ivar Kreuger —Gabbe 17:21, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Started the merge, but a previous merge from Ivan Kreuger is already at the bottom of the page; it looks extremely sloppy- doing what I can. Extra eyes, please? --Rossumcapek 05:33, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Da Vinci High School, Leonardo da Vinci High School and Leonardo Da Vinci High School. IMO, these three high school stubs should be deleted. They are simply not noteworthy. "Every student at Da Vinci is given a laptop, and all the software and skills that they need" and they come here to create useless pages. -- Toytoy 09:53, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
- List of numismatic topics into Category:Numismatics. Psychonaut 13:13, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- List of places named after Simón Bolívar into Bolívar. I myself am not 100% certain that they should be merged, but currently, their content is vastly the same. It seems like they could, ostensibly, be different pages, though. Or maybe this is just my anti-list bias. See comments on Talk:Bolívar. Thoughts? -- Tetraminoe 03:05, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- List of German military units of World War II ahould be merged into List of German divisions in WWII. If it then turns out that not all of these units are divisions, the division article should be moved to "...military units...". Lupo 12:20, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

- Marxism is not the same as Marxian. Karl Marx himself said he was not a Marxist. Marxian economics is an attempt to find something valuable in Marx's analysis of capitalism without being encumbered by all the ideological baggage and associations of "Marxism". "Marxist" is a term which implies translation of economic analysis into (a particular kind of) political action; Marxian is purely analytical. Rd232 21:43, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, Rd232 has ably summarized much of the discussion on the talk page (Talk:Marxian economics). However, there is a page on "Marxism and the page that was merged (Marxist school of economics) contained little that wasn't duplicated elsewhere (mainly in Karl Marx). What remained has been incorporated into the Marxian economics article. I trust this works. Sunray 07:41, 2005 Jan 15 (UTC)

- Miracle on Ice and Ice hockey at the 1980 Winter Olympics, nearly all information from the latter already exists in Miracle on Ice. Cmapm 20:15, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Mode and modality—both disambiguation pages with some overlap. PenguiN42 04:34, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- Disagree that the pages should be merged. A mode has the connotation of something singular, where a modality has the connotation that the topic can be switched from one thing to another if needed. Thus the enjoyment of a chocolate ice-cream cone is a mode, whereas the possibility of selecting from chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, etc., is implied in a modality.

- This has been sitting around for 11 months now. I can imagine that others feel like me: The "Original POV version" is so long that it's hard to judge how POV it is. The Talk:Mirra Richard page isn't very enlightening either, with an anonymous contributor claiming authorship. I would vote for removing this until the Talk:Mirra Richard unequivocally clarifies the POV status of the article. Sebastian 21:16, 2005 Mar 20 (UTC)
- Although Moving sidewalk was obviously written with knowledge of the companion Escalator article, they'd be better as a single article article because there's so much content overlap.

- I wouldn't expend too much effort on these articles. They have been largely superceded by the Wiktionary articles octa-, octo-, and oct-. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, of course. Uncle G 17:04, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)
- Object database should be merged into OODBMS Ejrrjs | What? 18:26, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC).
- Opossum and Virginia opossum—the same animals with a lot of text in each article
- Hmm. The "Opossum" article seems to be entirely about the Virginia Opossum, and have nothing at all about the Opossum (which is a different species, and native to Australia and New Zealand). Perhaps it is a case of moving the info from Opossum to Virginia Opossum, then writing a new article at Opossum (complete with a "see also" message pointing to the other article). Note that there are also Water Opossums, Murine Opossums, and several other related species. Grutness|hello?

- Actually the Australian species (introduced and invasive/pest in New Zealand) are called "Possums" (not Oppossum). But, of course, the name Oppossum is applied to all Didelphids, and not just the Virginia Oppossum. Guettarda 18:53, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Pacifism and non-violent resistance and non-violence (debated)
- I would say non-violence and pacifism should be merged, but non-violence should remain seperate. Superm401 21:09, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Papal election information in pope and the same in conclave
- Peer-to-peer and file sharing have some fairly significant overlap.
- Pop punk and punk pop. I will attempt to merge them this sometime later this week but if someone else wants to give it a try, please go right ahead. Aoi 08:11, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- The content from Pupusas should probably just replace the very meager content at Pupusa (properly named according to the Wikipedia MOS, but who every eats just one pupusa). This is almost more of a page move. BlankVerse ∅ 09:15, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

- Ryukyuan songs should include material from Tinsagu nu Hana Asadoya Yunta Shima nu Hito Futami Jouwa Ninjoubushi Tanchamee Hana into one article that would not be a stub[;] Futami Jouwa was in VfD but no consensus[;] this merge should save them all. rhyax 18:56, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Raver, rave party, and rave music might all be merged to form rave culture.
- Merging raver into rave party should probably be sufficient. -Sean Curtin 00:39, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

- Roosevelt Roads Operating Area should be merged with Roosevelt Roads Naval Station Antonio Manoloco Martin" 02:24, APR 19, 2005 (MST)
- Rug making should be merged with Carpet, then there is Category:Rugs that is in the wilderness... it could be renamed Carpet making. If there is good cause to maintain Rugs separately from Carpets, then make that clear and institute it as a disambiguation page or prominent cross linking. Rug making & Carpets and particularly how they refer to each other is a bit sloppy, confusing and redundant. Also, rug redirects to "rug making" while rugs redirects to "carpet". --RoyBoy 03:48, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- School prayer into First Amendment to the United States Constitution Sander123 07:26, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- The USA isn't the only country that has school prayer. The two articles should be rewritten (the first so it's from a NPOV so as to not be USAcentric and the second to deal with the USA issues) sheridan 07:03, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)
- Agreed. School prayer is but one of the contentious First Amendment issues in the US, though I don't specifically know of a cognate controversy elsewhere (e.g. France and Turkey have problems with religious dress codes). --Dhartung | Talk 08:27, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Siege of Port Arthur is a new article with a good description of the events during the battle, but it seems to concern the same battle as the Battle of Port Arthur. Suggest a merge to Battle of Port Arthur. Sjakkalle 08:16, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The seem to be different Battles, see Russo-Japanese War. Andreww 06:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Seismograph into Seismometer. The former is quite jumbled, the latter - more organized.
- Sogdiana and Sogdian. The former seems more authoritative. Please don't forget to rename the redirects. — Sebastian 07:42, 2005 Mar 24 (UTC)
- Soundtrack and film soundtrack are essentially about the same topic. Probably film score should also be taken into account when merging, though the latter may be left intact as it's being defined as background music. --Jūzeris | say what? | 13:28, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
- Soyombo and Soyombo script. -- Toytoy 07:24, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Spanish Revolution should be merged into Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Revolution article describes a particular take on the war and a movement within it; really it would be best served with the provision of a full context. Possibly instead of merging, the Spanish Revolution article could be somehow retitled so as to avoid confusion with the Spanish Civil War article. -Aratuk 23:35, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The Star Maker should be merged into the already existing, and more extensive, Star Maker. Eixo 01:05, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

- Supercoil and Superhelix have significant overlap, but my knowledge of the subject is not enough to judge how the merging would be done better. -- Rune Welsh 15:53, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

- Taboo Tuesday into WWE (per VfD)
- VfD decided, but I suggest perhaps merging with list of WWE Pay-Per-View events, all better yet leaving alone. Przepla 22:20, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Television network and lists of television channels—substantial duplication
- Transmission (automobile)/automatic transmission/gearbox/transmission (mechanics)/manual transmission—some should be merged, others split off
- I merged Transmission (automobile) into transmission (mechanics), before checking this page. Maybe it would be better to add automatic transmission and manual transmission back into Transmission (automobile). --Key45 20:58, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I think toxicity, toxin should be merged. Perhaps also poison, so that the subtle difference between a "toxin" and a "poison" can be explained on the merged page, rather than duplicated on both pages. (toxic already redirects to toxin). --DavidCary 19:24, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Tuberculin should be merged into Mantoux test. The articles have duplication of content, with the majority of the tuberculin article already being in the Mantoux test. On e possibility is to merge tuberculin into mantoux test, since the mantoux test incorporates tuberculin, and then discuss what tuberculin is. Another possibility is to keep the articles separate, delete the redundant content, and let the tuberculin article discuss what tuberculin is, its history, etc., and then put all the information about the test itself under Mantoux test. —Brim 07:58, Jan 26, 2005 (UTC)

- Tsuki-yomi describes the same Shintō god as Tsukiyomi, probably a duplicate by accident. I suggest merging them into Tsukiyomi. JeroenHoek 11:21, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- Third party (United States) and Third party politics both cover the same topic. Third party (United States) is by far the better and more extensive of the two and I suggest merging anything worth keeping from Third party politics into the other article. Kaibabsquirrel 18:50, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- Tokyo Rose needs all its info about Iva Toguri D'Aquino moved into her own page, and should become an article about the term itself and the various women who served as propaganda broadcasters for the Japanese who were collectively so nicknamed. —Morven 19:32, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

- Universal Negro Improvement and Conservation Association and African Communities League is a longer title and a shorter article than Universal Negro Improvement Association.

- Witch trial into witch-hunt. -Sean Curtin 05:31, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- hmm... Witch-hunt is used as a verb and still goes on. there needs to be some type of differentiation. maybe witch-hunt separate from the other 2 Williamb 06:39, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- "Witch hunt" is the more common term. For example, Burning Times refers exclusively to "witch hunts", not once to "witch trials". Google hits for "witch trial": 11K; for "witch hunt", 271K; for "witchcraft trial", 2K; for "Burning Times", 26K. Uses of the term "witch-hunt" in reference to modern-day activities should be discussed in the article, not moved to a separate article. -Sean Curtin 00:07, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Leave them alone'. Someone already has merged Burning Times into witch-hunt. Witch trial is such a big page that merging it into witch-hunt would make witch-hunt too long. I have put into each page a pointer to the other. Anthony Appleyard 14:16, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Although I could see making witch-hunt into an article about the social phenomenon and witch trial into an article about the trial itself, doing so would be a pretty arbitrary split. Both articles are still pretty redundant with one another. -Sean Curtin 04:02, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
- Frankly, both articles need to be reworked so that they have clear-cut and delineated subjects. A couple of sections from Witch trial needs to be moved into witch-hunt and vice versa. Our goal should be to ensure that editors add their contributions to the appropriate articles. -Acjelen 14:35, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Browser notes into meta:Browser issues with MediaWiki. --Zigger 12:28, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
- there could be a case to leaving them separated[:] firstoff, the two projects use difrent[sic] character encoding[;] secondly the wiki one seems to be along the lins of, if you have x browere[sic], then you might have x problems, where[]as the meta one seems like, there are the known issues with meta. although i think that may just be a diffrence[sic] in style.
- They should be merged. Any "problems" that may be had using Wikipedia with a browser are bugs, and should be fixed. Some of the content on this page should also be merged into Wikipedia:Tools. JesseW 05:52, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
