Regarding merge request by User:Tomas e
Thank you for your ideas regarding my articles on Swedish ranks. The purpose of those pages is to explain each rank in detail about what they currently represent as well as providing a historical dimension. Also, I am striving to facilitate the browsing between ranks. A merge with another large article would make that article huge (considering that it may contain all ranks in the world) with too much detailed information. Also, the browsing functionality will get lost. A better way is to put short notes with references into my articles. Other reasons are of more administrative nature: Having references make articles independent, which makes it possible to relink to other ranks as translation changes. For example, with the introduction of a new ranking system, ranks will be redefined. Changing references then would be much easier than rewriting huge articles. Also consider the situation where one rank corresponds to several Swedish ranks or vice versa. I am removing your merge requests by now! OK? --Malin Randstrom (talk) 08:46, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
