Please Note: following a talk section discussion on the Wilson main page re GAN review it was decided to shorten this content there and create a new page here. This is a MIRROR of what is currently on mp, not my work, not my credit. OgamD218 (talk) 23:14, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

OgamD218, This is exactly why I merged the page, not "deleted" it! You should never just create a mirrored subarticle. When you WP:SPLIT a page, it should be split, not mirrored, and the main article should summarize the content, not have identical content, minus a handful of details. So much material is same: paragraphs beginning with:
  • Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born...
  • Wilson's earliest memory was
  • Wilson attended Davidson College in North Carolina
  • After graduating from Princeton
  • Wilson was admitted to the Georgia bar
  • In 1883, Wilson met
  • Wilson accepted a teaching position
  • In 1888, Wilson left Bryn Mawr
  • In February 1890, with the help of friends
  • In June 1902, Princeton trustees
  • Wilson's efforts to reform
  • Having reorganized the school's curriculum
  • Wilson became disenchanted
  • By January 1910, Wilson had drawn
and more are all the same word-for-word, which is inappropriately WP:DUPLICATE and WP:REDUNDANT. A WP:REDUNDANTFORK does not help the reader at all, and makes it hard to navigate the content that is materially identical but with small differences. Reywas92Talk 13:13, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
