Talk:Merrily We Roll Along (play)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Split article

I split the play and musical into two articles, and User:ConoscoTutto recombined them without any discussion. Please see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Merrily We Roll Along (musical). What is the consensus? -- Ssilvers 21:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

You split the article without any discussion, so please don't try to make it look I did something wrong. There was no logical reason for you to split it in the first place and leave the article about the original play only a few sentences long. ConoscoTutto 21:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, blocked User:SFTVLGUY2, I see that you are back to your bad old ways, now posting as User:ConoscoTutto. -- Ssilvers 21:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Ssilvers, you should just respond to the discussion instead of making rash accusations (and be sure you know you're talking about before you make them). I have received E-mails about you from four editors involved with the musical theatre project and all of them were very similar, so I think you're the one with the problem, not me or anyone else. I'm going to take their advice and ignore you as much as possible. Thank you. ConoscoTutto 21:49, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

As posted elsewhere, I support maintaining separate entries for MWRA the play and the musical. --RayBirks 21:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

As posted elsewhere [1], I think having an article about the play that is only a few sentences long doesn't make sense. Thank you. ConoscoTutto 22:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

There is, of course, plenty that could be said about the 1934 Broadway play Merrily we Roll Along. By combining the two articles, you discourage editors from adding information to the article about the Broadway play. This is how Wikipedia works - An editor begins an article, and then other editors can expand it. Plus, I had separated the various links between the play and the musical, and you are trying to undo all that work. -- Ssilvers 22:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

If you feel there is "plenty that could be said about the 1934 Broadway play," then why didn't you say it when you divided the article? If you had, there'd be no discussion about the matter. I don't think anyone should claim there's "plenty" to say if he or she isn't prepared to say it and create a complete article instead of one with just a few lines.
