Merger proposal

Latest comment: 10 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

I propose that Skyhook (structure)‎ be merged into Orbiting skyhook. The articles are duplicated to the extend that the text is a mirror image of each other. While merging, a major style overhaul and cleanup should be done, including:

rewrite the introduction.
use inline citations.
remove WP:original research
remove editorial comments and the overall "sales pitch" style.
remove WP:peacock terms

I agree. Skyhook (structure)‎ was the earlier of the two but contained very little worthwhile material before recent additions. However the current versions of both articles are completely unacceptable as POV, OR and advocacy. andy (talk) 14:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
I propose then that we work instead on Orbiting skyhook and when it is in good shape we proceed with the deletion of Skyhook (structure)‎. BatteryIncluded (talk) 14:58, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Looks like User:Skyhook1 wants to engage in discussions, except when he does not want to. He made a redirect Orbiting skyhook → Skyhook (structure). His WP:Ownership of articles is a discussion I am not willing to entertain. The article will be pounded into shape today, or next year. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 19:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
