Talk:Kartepe

Redirect
To Rapsar and Phil Bridger: Article Kartepe, Kocaeli has been redirected to Kartepe. Since both articles are about the same topic, the redirect is justified. However, just out of curiosity, I would like to understand the philosophy behind the redirect. Kartepe was a small stub of 723 byte. Kartepe, Kocaeli on the other hand was a 3834 byte article. In order not to lose information, the contents of Kartepe, Kocaeli were transferred to Kartepe by copy and paste method. In effect, the name of Kartepe, Kocaeli was moved to Kartepe without using the move button and thus the page history of the larger article was almost deleted. Do you think this is the right method of redirecting ? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 22:12, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * My mistake. I merged these two articles, but I should have add histmerge template to Kartepe, Kocaeli.--Rapsar (talk) 13:19, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
