Talk:Woman police constable

redirect target
The 14:40, 31 January 2018‎ edit by GraemeLeggett changes the redirect target to Constable. Reading the edit summary ("started adding bit on WPC to Constable") this sounded like a fair decision.

However, now, eleven days later, the Constable article still only holds the initial edit, a bare mention of WPCs. That work thus seems to have ended right when it "started". (FYI I checked if there was any "work in progress" template added to the redirect section, or talk page discussion, but there was not)

That means the underlying reasons to question Graeme's efforts to divert the redirect away from the History of the Metropolitan Police Service article remains. That article remains the most valuable redirect target for a reader looking for encyclopedic information on "Woman police constable" by far.

Assuming no more work on incorporating relevant parts of History of the Metropolitan Police Service article into Constable is forthcoming, I cannot escape the possibility that this edit was made solely to technically qualify Constable as the redirect target (by adding a minimal mention of the subject). This does the reader no favors.

Feel free to change the redirect target back when you haven't just "started adding bit on WPC to Constable", but completed it too, Graeme. Of course, I would then prefer this article was expanded from a redirect into a proper article, centralizing all our bits and pieces from various other articles. Our coverage of women topics is scant as it is. regards CapnZapp (talk) 23:34, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
