Talk:Strategic Air Command[edit]

It is extremely rude to blank pages in that manner. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 22:45, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Advice[edit]

Hi, Ronald. I sometimes look at Special:Contributions/Tawkerbot4 to help me to find vandals that I can revert. The bot, of course, is not infallible, but does an extremely good job, and if I click on the contributions of someone that the bot has reverted, I often find other examples of vandalism. That was what led me to your page. I see that you blanked an article, on the grounds that it was a duplicate of another article.[1] The bot is programmed to revert any massive page blankings, and of course, is not capable of reading your motives, so reverted you. You then explained your reasoning here. I don't know anything about the subject, so I have no opinion as to which article should be the "real one", but if you are convinced that Article A should not exist because the information in Article B is the same, and you think that Article B has a more appropriate content, then you should redirect Article A to Article B. To redirect a page, open the edit box, delete the whole contents, and type in:

#REDIRECT [[Name of article you want to redirect to]]

and then save the page.

For example Bread soda currently redirects to Sodium bicarbonate. If you click on the link for Bread soda it will take you to the article on Sodium bicarbonate, but it will say near the top of the page "Redirected from Bread soda. If you get to the sodium bicarbonate page through a redirection from bread soda, rather than directly, you can click on "bread soda" (where it says "redirected from", and then click on "edit this page" to see what it looks like in the source.

Hope that helps. But remember I do not endorse (or disendorse) redirecting the article, as I have no knowledge of the situation. This is just to tell you how to redirect; it's not telling you that you should!
