Merging q.
I copied this question over to your own user talk page, and answer it there, because we're getting a bit beyond the scope for "requests for feedback"...


 * I read about merging pages, and I see that copy and paste is not suggested. I also think that I shouldn't just delete the article now that it is live. What is the best way to move the key information to the Impinj page, and to get rid of the Speedway xPortal page itself? Thank you!

Re. Speedway xPortal and possible inclusion in the article on Impinj

Copy-paste moves are, usually, a bad idea; that is because we want to see the 'history' of the article, to see who wrote it. If a page has been edited by many users, and someone else just copies and pastes it, we lose that historic trail - so instead, we either move the page or, if appropriate, we can merge the histories.

However, in this case, the only person who has edited that page is you. Therefore, if you copy some of it, and paste it into the Impinj article, that would be fine - because you wrote it, yourself, so we won't be mis-attributing anything.

I hope that makes sense.

For more help, you can either;


 * Leave a message on my own talk page;
 * Use a - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put , and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~ at the end;
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.

The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello.  Chzz  ► 21:44, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
