Welcome to Boobpedia, KCG. I posted a message for you on the [[Boobpedia:Suggestions]] giving you the info on how to merge articles on the same person. I also noticed that you've been manually adding nationality categories to articles. e.g. I reverted your edits of Eva Angelina as while she is of mixed ancestry, she would not considered to be Chinese, Irish or English (there isn't actually an English category so that came up in red). The relevant categories are automatically included for the article by filling out the ''ethnicity'' and ''nationality'' sections of the Biobox correctly (see the [[Template:Biobox_new|Biobox template documentation]] for some good info on how the different fields should be filled).

Hi KCG. To merge articles, I open them in two browser windows, click ''edit'' for both articles and then cut and paste the useful information from one window to the other so that the article we're keeping has the best from both articles. When I'm finished I replace all the information in the other article with <code>''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Title of article to keep]]</nowiki>''</code> Hope that helps. --[[User:Loose cannon|Loose cannon]] 05:17, 14 March 2011 (EDT) | |||

Nationality categories

Merging Articles
Hi KCG. To merge articles, I open them in two browser windows, click edit for both articles and then cut and paste the useful information from one window to the other so that the article we're keeping has the best from both articles. When I'm finished I replace all the information in the other article with #REDIRECT [[Title of article to keep]] Hope that helps. --Loose cannon 05:17, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
