From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Writing two versions of an essay is not a good idea. It often leads to confusion among readers, and duplicate essays should be merged.

The process for merger

[edit]

When you identify two duplicate essays, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Proposed_article_mergers#How_to_propose_a_merger.
