Merge suggestions
Hi Smileguy91. I notice that above it was suggested that you make a comment when you put a Merge tag on an article; i think that is an excellent idea, because if you think it's worth doing, you ought to be abe to say why. I have reverted a couple of your tags ~ on Upper Egypt and Upper and Lower Egypt ~ because you'd not made any comment, and nor had anyone else. Thanks, Cheers, LindsayHello 10:33, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Garbage picking article renaming
You previously opposed a merger of the garbage picking article. Well, now someone wants to rename the article "dumpster diving" which I feel is not a good idea as it's not inclusive of the various situations discussed in the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Garbage_picking#Requested_move_31_August_2015 He already did the renaming once without any consensus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Garbage_picking#Garbage_Picking_to_Dumpster_Diving_Move.2Frename_should_be_reverted.
