Objection to wholsale replacement of content

[edit]

In this edit Avery.brister replaced the entire previous content of the article with new content. This meant that useful content was simply discared without consideration. I have reverted this action, I think a proper WP:Merge should be done that combines the best of the old and new content, instead of simply overwriting previous contributions. I have requested assistance from WikiProject Genetics. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:38, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I support your reversion. The original version of the article seemed fine with reasonable sources. The new draft version may have some content that could be merged in, but I would be dubious of material sourced to the Wall Street Journal and musclehealth.org for technical topic. Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. --Mark viking (talk) 11:37, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have merged some content in from the draft. I have left out everything I couldn't find journal references for; Wall Street Journal, musclehealth.org, a lecture, and obviously Wikipedia are not suitable as references for this type of article. I noticed that we also have articles on the human homologue Nkx2-5 gene and its protein Homeobox protein Nkx-2.5, which were proposed for merging a year ago. All three of these articles should probably be merged to Homeobox protein Nkx-2.5. Sarahj2107 (talk) 12:12, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
