Merging

Merging integrates one article's text into that of another article. This can only be done manually, and it does not transfer a page's history.

Merging can be done with portions of an article that do not belong on their original page, or with the complete article. In the case of a complete article, a redirect should be created to the correct page.

Before merging, place {{merge}} on the page and discuss your reasons on its talk page. Votes supporting or opposing should be separated by [[Template:Support|{{support}}]], [[Template:oppose|{{oppose}}]], or, if you do not care either way, [[Template:Neutral|{{neutral}}]].

The request should stay there for ten days, once a general consensus has been reached on the talk page, the articles can be merged or the request dropped. If nothing has been worked out by then, the request will extend for three days.

Image Standards

Images must have a certain degree of quality or may be deleted as specified under the file deletion policy.

• Screenshots, on occasion, may have black edges around the image. These must be cropped so the blacks edges around it are removed.
• Images should have a lower cased extension (.png instead of .PNG), if an image is uploaded with a capitalized extension, it can easily be fixed by moving the image.
• Images must be properly licensed, using one of the file source templates.
• If the image is in need of improvement, the proper maintenance and action templates must be placed on the page.

Image Deletion Policy

Images may be deleted if for multiple reasons:

• Copyright Infringement: If the image violates a copyright, it may be deleted.
• Uploader's Request: If a user has uploaded a personal image, that user may request the image be deleted.
• Inappropriate Content: If the image has pornographic content, the image will be immediately deleted and the uploader will be blocked.
• Duplicate Image:If the image is a duplicate of another, the image of lower quality may be deleted.
• Low Quality:If the image is of low quality, it may be deleted.
