Talk:2007 Karbala mosque bombings

Reason for one page

While I can imagine that some people would prefer a seperate page for the Imam Abbas shrine bombing, I think we shouldn't create too many seperate pages for every bombing, especially not if the bombings happen in only a short distance of time and news articles link those two bombings. To get an overview of the violence and situation in Karbala, one page seems superior to two seperate pages. Sijo Ripa 00:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

there's no precedent for that (see other articles). Please separate that and see if people request a merge... --TheFEARgod (Ч) 01:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

you were not fair creating a new article and redirecting the previous existing. The edit history was lost in that process. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 01:18, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

First of all, you have to be bold in improving pages. The page was new and it was clearly an improvement. It is not always necessary to wait for days or weeks to get through a process of merging if it is obvious it is an improvement. Secondly, no edit history is lost. Thirdly, I find it quite strange that you ignore the April 14 bombing, and redirecting this to the earlier page. This page is justified and I don't think the other page is really necessary. Everything can be said and done on this page. Sijo Ripa 10:08, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
