Merger proposal

edit

There appears to be two articles here for the same building. I propose we merge the two together. See Hotel San Carlos (Phoenix, Arizona) for more information. Thanks. Cygnusloop99 (talk) 23:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hey, good catch. No need for a big discussion, of course they should be merged. Merging.... In the process, I am restoring the NRHP name for the hotel in the NRHP infobox (in order to show this is the article covering the place having the NRHP name).
Also, in the merge, i am putting the NRHP infobox below the existing Hotel infobox. It would probably be good to make a combined infobox. In some other areas, like for lighthouses or ships that have their own infobox types, the NRHP infobox is sometimes/often stripped down and embedded within the other infobox. That requires some attention. There's some info at the Talk/Help pages for the NRHP infobox, if someone wants to take that on. However, here maybe the hotel infobox should be dropped in favor of just showing the NRHP infobox. --doncram (talk) 18:16, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Awesome, I didn't think it needed much of a discussion but im new and this was my first merge. I was just trying to follow some of the merge help guide info I read. Thanks for the help and support. Cygnusloop99 (talk) 02:41, 27 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ah, good. It is definitely good to use the merge proposal mechanism if there is any possibility of contention. One thing that matters sometimes is which gets merged into which; I prefer for the newer article to get merged into the older one, losing the edit history in the newer one rather than the longer history. I guess i felt empowered to just go ahead with the merge, because it was me who had created the article being merged away. You're doing great! :) --doncram (talk) 03:52, 27 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
