[edit] Merge

It seems to me that Lingzhou is a historical name for the city currently called Lingwu. If this is true, then these two articles should be merged under the current name of the city. Dsmdgold 16:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

yes Dsmdgold,you are right ,Lingzhou is not using now.OnlyButAlso 02:45, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

In that case I'm going to leave the merge tags for a few mored days, just in case someone involved in the Lingzhou article objects, and then I will merge the two articles. Dsmdgold 03:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

hi,Dsmdgold,Lingzhou is old name of Lingwu,Lingzhou is know only by historian today in China,Most people know only Lingwu. So you can link Lingzhou to Lingwu,you can not link Lingwu to Lingzhou,because Lingzhou is a died word in China,I believe you can understand me.OnlyButAlso 11:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Dsmdgold,you can Merge Lingzhou and Lingwu in One,with name Lingwu,simple link Lingzhou to Lingwu,don't ling Lingwu to Lingzhou as before.You can image some people come from Lingwu see That Lingwu linked by Lingzhou,they will very sad and unhappy:so we do not called Iraq as babylon,we do not called America as Maya,we do not French as babylon. IF you still want to link Lingwu to Lingzhou,please try to Link Iraq to babylon first. Thank you for reading this.

I am very sorry Dsmdgold,LingZhou have several meanings:

Lingzhou: A,灵洲 ：1,sand island in a waterbody.2 a mountain at Guangdong,china.3,God's land

B,灵州：old name of lingwu
