Talk:Hewlêr

I did a wdiff between this article, Hewler, and Arbil. The anonymous user 137.122.88.223 seems to have created this article by copying plain text from Arbil, changing Arbil to Hewlêr, then adding a note about the Arbil/Erbil name. The same anonymous user then copied the contents of this article to create the Hewler article.

So it seems that the "merge" would simply involve changing both the Hewler and Hewlêr articles into redirects, and removing the internal link in the word "Hewlêr" in the Arbil article. Nothing really need to be "merged" per se because all the contents are just copied from Arbil.—Wing 04:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I can understand why someone would like this article at the Kurdish name of the city, but that goes against the naming conventions. Anything original in this article (I'm not even sure if there is anything original here) should be merged into Arbil, and this article should be changed into a redirect to Arbil. I'll see if I can emphasize the Kurdish name in that artice. --Gareth Hughes 12:28, 20 October 2005 (UTC)


 * No, I did a wdiff to check the articles and found that there is nothing original in this article.—Wing 13:18, 20 October 2005 (UTC)


 * OK. This article does not have a major edit history and has cribbed the Arbil article. I've been decisive and changed this to a redirect. I've also gone through the Arbil article with some improvements. In some places, I thought it was better to call the city Hewlêr/Arbil in that article. --Gareth Hughes 16:09, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
