Merge Eckert projection articles
[edit]I do not think each of the Eckert projections should have its own article. The only one that’s notable is Eckert IV. There isn’t enough encyclopædic information about each to warrant separate articles. I propose merging them all into one article called “Eckert projections”. Strebe (talk) 00:10, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
