Hi Hugh. I noticed that you have created two articles about the same book under its French and English titles, respectively. Normally, one article is written and one or more redirects are created pointing to it. The obvious choice is to keep the English article as is and replace the French one with a redirect, but when I check with Amazon it looks like the book hasn't been published in English yet. Do you know if that's about to happen? Cheers, Favonian (talk) 14:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Since it will eventually be published in English I suggest keeping that version and redirect the French one. The procedure is to 1) make sure the English version is up to date, 2) edit the French one, replacing the entire contents by
- #REDIRECT [[Requiem for a fish]] {{R from alternative language}}
- That should do it. Favonian (talk) 15:08, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I've "jumped the gun" and redirected the French title to the article with the English name. Furthermore, I renamed the latter to Requiem for a Fish in accordance with the usual naming convention for books. In case there is some detail from the French titled article you wish to salvage, the last version before the redirect is available here. Cheers, Favonian (talk) 07:31, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- My pleasure! Rather look forward to reading the book when it's published in English (or Danish). Feel free to ask if you run into problems. Favonian (talk) 08:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
