I am sorry? Who encouraged merging? There is no consensus behind that. Merge was proposed as a compromise to the mass deletion/inclusion war but it was never commonly accepted. If it was I want to see the evidence of that consensus.>> ---------------------------------------------------- I am not speaking of *your* personal war over fiction. I am speaking of the broader issue of the merging of *anything* in-project. We, as a community, encourage the merging of stubs. That has been the case since before I even started editing five years back. I myself have merged some articles in the past, although only a handful. It would be sadistic if, the idea that merging, which in and of itself, is a seemingly innocuous edit, would carry as-well the *hidden hammer* of copyright infringement. Wouldn't it? Here's how you merge... oh you've done it? Well good, now I can clobber the hell out of you. That's not the spirit of the project. Therefore there is a contradiction somewhere in the assumptions.
