Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Potato Range be merged into Alagalla Mountain Range. Essentially both articles are about exactly the same geographic feature. Most of the information in the Potato Range article is an exact copy of that covered in the Alagalla Mountain Range article. Potato Range appears to be the colloquial name whereas Alagalla Mountain Range appears to be the formal name. Dan arndt (talk) 01:58, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Dan arndt: It appears that an anonymous user changed the content of the article to refer to a mountain range in Sri Lanka without discussion. See here. So I reverted back to its original state. Maybe Potato Range should be a disambiguation page? Volcanoguy 04:39, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Volcanoguy, I have to admit all I did was check the edit history and notify those recognised editors - didn't actually check the edits themselves. After looking at how the article evolved it is apparent that what appears to have happened (as you've outlined above). In order to avoid a similar occurrence in the future I would support Potato Range being a disambiguation page, identifying both the Canadian and Sri Lankan mountain ranges.

@Dan arndt: Went ahead and created the disambiguation page. Volcanoguy 18:37, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
