Talk:Shahnama

There is already another article called Shahnameh, which is more complex. This article should only be a "redirect" to the other one. -80.171.123.24 22:34, 12 December 2005 (UTC)


 * The Shahnama has been in place for years. An anon user, in just the past few months (you?), forked it off to create the Shahnameh article, over-writing the redirect that was previously here, a violation of the rules which no one noticed at the time. Now you want the new one to replace the old one? The reason the anon user forked it off is because they kept getting reverted in the original article for POV edits. --Stbalbach 23:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Also you will note that some of the text in Shahnameh was copied verbatum from the original Shahnama article, clearly, someone allready knew the other article existed and this was a dishonest attempt to -rewite the article under a new name, a violation of Wikipedia rules. --Stbalbach 23:10, 12 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Ill give the Shahnameh article a week. If nothings been done to merge, then the redirect will restored. The Shahnameh article was created, just in October for the first time, in violation of Wikipedia rules about intentional forking, and is really invalid. Weve had ongoing problems with anon editors forking this article many times in the past, this is just the latest incident. --Stbalbach 23:13, 12 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't care which one of the articles gets the redirect. I have nothing to do with them, I was directed to one of them through a link in the German Wikipedia. The other article has some useful additional information. Maybe you should copy them into this article and give the other one a redirect ... -80.171.123.24 00:49, 13 December 2005 (UTC)


 * See followup comments at Talk:Shahnameh .. comments are being duplicated across two articles. --Stbalbach 01:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge indeed.--Zereshk 20:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Redirect
It has been over a week, so I am redirecting the article to Shahnameh. --Houshyar 03:55, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
