The subject of this article already has an article under the name of Alexander Pentland, and I suggest this one be merged into that. Does anyone have any thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc on this matter? Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 10:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ooppss. Never occurred to me that a relatively minor ace would have a pre-existing article. By all means, merge them, and I'll try to take greater care in the future. Georgejdorner (talk) 12:06, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Articles redirected and merged. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 08:17, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
