merger proposal

edit

I propose to merge Fort Toulouse into Fort Jackson (Alabama) and to move/rename to Fort Toulouse and Fort Jackson or similar. The current articles are duplicative, and both feature photo of just one of the places. The pair are named together as a state historic site and as a U.S. National Historic Landmark. It would be easier to explain both together in one article than try to explain to readers why two very overlapping articles should be separate (which is simply not done, is not clear). A merged article would be of very reasonable size, not much longer than either.

The merger target was created by me in 2007 and covered both topics. The Fort Toulouse was possibly created in 2008 (see this earliest version I can find available edited by User:Abncavscout, but the edit summary and tags on the page suggest that an earlier copy-vio verson had existed and was rewritten by Abncavscout. Actually, editors of the merged article would do well to go back to that version to get some detail that has been lost. --Doncram (talk) 17:44, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I think that the intention of Wp9097 was to support the merge, so given this and the overlap,     Y Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 09:18, 23 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
