Article merged with "Pro-feminist men": See old talk-page here. Phyesalis (talk) 04:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm the webmaster of the site, [1], from where this page was sourced. This can be confirmed with an e-mail to editor [at] xyonline.net, which will reach the author of the article. I created the page but forgot to include a statement about its source.

Merger of profeminism into pro-feminism

These two articles are discussing the same thing, with this target article (pro-feminism) being more fully developed and also more in keeping with the naming convention of the article anti-racism and similar articles such as anti-tank or anti-aircraft weapon which use the hyphenated prefix.

"activism against anti-pornography legislation"

This is a typo, right? Jlandahl 06:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I've changed it to "activism against pornography including anti-pornography legislation". Jlandahl 15:21, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed merge

I've propsed that we merge PF with Pro-feminist men, as they're basically the same thing. This has nothing, the other page has some decent refs. Thoughts? Phyesalis (talk) 20:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the merge is a good idea, since Pro-feminist men are a sub-set of profeminism it makes sense to me--Cailil talk 22:07, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Once we've given this enough time, I'd like to try my hand at the merger. I've never done one before, and this one seems rather straightforward. Any objections? Phyesalis (talk) 23:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
None at all. Have a look at WP:MERGE and WP:REDIRECT for advice. There's no hard and fast way of doing it but I recommend copying and pasting everything into a text editor outside your web-browser if you're going to do a copy/paste merge--Cailil talk 23:17, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
OK, if there are no objections, I'm going to merge these tomorrow. Sound good? Phyesalis (talk) 17:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
No objections from me--Cailil talk 17:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Great! Thank you. I've done a mock-up here. I've removed some of the repetitive and unref'd content. If you get a chance, look it over, let me know if you think this seems reasonable. Phyesalis (talk) 22:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
The text looks okay to me but I'd drop the section on 'Heteronormativity' (can you source that claim, because I can't - I'm not saying the view doesn't exist - it's just that if you add info to page you must be able to source it). Also I'd drop the 'Development' section which is quote-farm for John Stoltenberg - summarize his view and put it into the following section. If you could I'd try to source some more of the page if you can. But it is definitely an improvement on the current situation--Cailil talk 22:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

(undent)I agree with the heteronormativity argument. I think when we find sourced material, we should try to incorporate it into the body of the article based on the source (instead of trying to find a source to fit the statement). No problem with the Stoltenberg, there's no ref. I'll be looking up new sources post-merge. Phyesalis (talk) 23:07, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Recent merge

I've just started finished the merge with Pro-feminist men. I was wondering how much (if any) of the old talk page we should import here? I left a note at the top of this page with a link to the old talk page. Did I miss anything (or mess anything up)? I haven't gotten to summarizing the Stoltenberg quote yet, but all that material is still on the talk page of the sandbox mock-up. Phyesalis (talk) 04:43, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Just provide a wikilink to Talk:Pro-feminist men and its archives you could use the {{archivebox}} template--Cailil talk 13:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Great, thanks for the suggestion. I've never done that before either. I added the box, working on the rest. Phyesalis (talk) 17:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, I think I did it. If anyone would check this out and let me know if I missed anything or might have done anything better, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! Phyesalis (talk) 18:20, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Looks fine to me - good job. The other option would be to leave all that content of its original talk page andmove it to Talk:Pro-feminism/Archive 0 and then put these current comments from this page into "archive 1" - does that make any sense?--Cailil talk 20:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you! Yes that does, I'll get on that later tonight. Thanks again for helping me with this. Phyesalis (talk) 21:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
