Brachial plexus lesion and injury articles ready to merge

In answer to Joscon, I'm not aware of any specific time-frame other than the act of being reasonable. So if there is much discussion to be had, this should be allowed. If on the other hand, there appears not to be a demand for discussion, and/or if the opportunity presents itself to do a merge before moving on to further article improvements, I would think the idea would be to proceed forthwith.

I have now updated both this Brachial plexus lesion article, and the Brachial plexus injury article so that they are identical apart from the article name. This should make it easy to merge. The only question will be which article is merged into which. I would suggest that the answer to that is whichever term is used most commonly. I have the impression from this exercise that perhaps the term 'injury' is used more commonly than 'lesion'. I note too that the ICD system uses the term injury. Obviously, the article can still be improved upon. However, it may be prudent to do a merge sooner rather than later, while the text in both is identical.Wotnow (talk) 10:49, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Wotnow

Merge completed

I reviewed the Help: merging article, and saw that for uncontroversial mergers, it is okay to be bold and simply do it. Since the merge proposal had generated little discussion, and no controversy, I thought I might as well do the merge once I had the text in both articles identical. In the end, none of the content from the lesion article was lost, and indeed it contributed to the injury article. As noted above, it seemed to me from the exercise leading up to the merger, that the term brachial plexus injury is used more often than brachial plexus lesion, especially perhaps by lay-people, but also taking into account the ICD use. I therefore kept the 'injury' title. If it transpires that the term should be changed (which at this stage I doubt), I daresay it's a straightforward enough process to do that. I hope this was of some help. To User: Josconklin I thank you for your comment regarding the merge (that you concurred with my comments, and the question was how long to wait) which helped convince me that I should go ahead with the merge while the opportunity presented itself - i.e. before we had two articles covering the same topic with large amounts of information to reconcile.Wotnow (talk) 12:18, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Wotnow

Speedy deletion nomination of Cross Language Evaluation Forum

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cross Language Evaluation Forum requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I I declined the speedy; I think there are sufficient references. Pleasedo not put back the "holdon" tag. It just lists the article for deletion all over again, which is almost certainly not what you intend. Rather , try to add some more good sources showing the group is important, because it would not surprise me if someone else chose to list it for regular deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Littel-Lord Farmstead, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victorian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
