Help me!
Hi, I am new on Wikipedia. And thus I need help regarding an issue:

I have recently noticed 3 pages speaking of the same subject, with not enough clarification. I do not know how to request a merge, or if that is the appropriate decision to be taken here.

The Subject is Semitic languages numeral system, where letters of the Semitic alphabet is used as numerals (A=1, B=2...etc). It was developed by Aramaeans, with the development of Phoenician scripts. Soon adopted by Assyro-Babylonian civization and later Greeks, Hebrews and Arabs adopted the system before the rise of the Hindo-Arabic numerals (modern decimal numerals).

The pages are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abjad_numerals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_numerals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria

Please decide what is the appropriate decision to be taken here. The best in my opinion is to merge information in one page with new context. The unified page can be called 'Abjad Numerals' or 'Semitic Numerals'. This can help expand on the subject and also remove contradicting information (i.e. in Hebrew numerals, it is mentioned that the system developed from the Greek numeral system, soon after, it is mentioned it was inherited from the Aramaeans!)

P.S. it is also note worthy that the field of numerals needs a total and general review, for example, I have noted that the page titled 'Hindu-Arabic Numerals' has more information that the main page 'Numeral System. For example, there is a glyph table comparing different numeral systems in the Hindu-Arabic Numerals page, that does not exist in the Numeral Systems page. If misplacement of such information is not enough to mention, the table itself is incomplete or inaccurate. mentioned pages are linked below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu%E2%80%93Arabic_numeral_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals

 * You've got two choices. Either use the requested merge process to ask someone else to do it for you, or copy the content into a userspace draft such as User:Kane Mercer/Abjad numerals or User:Kane Mercer/Semitic numerals and rearrange the article as you see fit. Some would insist upon using the Articles for creation process for the latter, although I find it obstructive and unhelpful. When you have finished, leave me a message on my talk page (click chba in my signature) and I will instruct you further.-- Laun  chba  ller  19:25, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
