Vote against for merge[edit]

I'm guessing that the merge suggestion has a mistake in it and what was meant may be that Prelude to War be merged into "Why We Fight." As the tag stands it is nonsensicle, reading: "it has been suggested that the section or article <prelude to War> be merged into Prelude to War."

I put this article together from a bare-bones stub, but I used Why We Fight for some of the material, and it's still a stub, so merging this article into it, as it presently stands would not be outlandish.

However, is Why We Fight going to have a full treatment for each of the movies in the series? Many articles try to split off discrete segements. Why We Fight is composed of six separate movies and this particular one is an academy award winner.

While I find, for instance, the ten thousand distinct articles on every bit of minutia from every scene of every Star Wars movie to be unencylopedic and a wholesale failure to recognize some tipping point of ridiculousness that should be reached when splitting articles into ever smaller and smaller subjects, I think a full movie is deserving of its own separate article. --Fuhghettaboutit 05:53, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The merger is from "Prelude To War" into "Prelude to War". There are now two articles on the same film with uppercase and lowercase "t". -- User:Docu

D'oh! Fairly new here. I see. Standing in corner with dunce cap on. Of course they should be merged. I'll leave my text above intact as an archive of asininity. --Fuhghettaboutit 15:45, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
