Untitled[edit]

Ironicly, this page was created on the same day as a similar listing under "The Defense Base Act." The two listings are not identical and deal with the Act from different perspectives. These should probably be merged.

It may be beneficial to discuss this before taking such a bold step, however.

I agree these should definitely be merged, probably under the title Defense Base Act. Both articles seem to have value. Since you appear to be the author of "The Defense Base Act", for now I suggest you just copy and paste your article to the top of "Defense Base Act" and add a headline after that, above what appears there currently, perhaps something like "Defense Base Act applied to contingency operations". Then you (or I) can turn "The Defense Base Act" page into a redirect page to "Defense Base Act". After all that's done you and the author of this page could tweak it to eliminate duplication, etc. After all, two heads are better than one. Let me know if I can help.

Well it's been a week and there's been no objection so I will be bold and merge these two articles before additional edits make it more difficult.Station1 (talk) 22:21, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of commercial and non-notable websites[edit]

I removed external links to commercial legal websites and non-notable non-Wikipedia "wikipages". Please see WP:EL and WP:ADVERT for information on adding external links and why Wikipedia policy does not allow advertising links. Flowanda | Talk 03:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
