Merge proposal

Now that there is a nifty article on the Boathouse, why not lighten up the section A slow recovery in the Prospect Park (Brooklyn) article, by moving some of that material to this article here? I furnished much of the material there, and it all seems to be the nucleus of this article, but now misplaced. Once I hack through the thicket of various things I'm working on, I'll undertake to do it, but anyone is welcome to beat me to it, or, as their wont, discuss the proposal here. Take care.

Excellent idea. Of course, like any Wikifool, I too am overloaded and eager to see someone else carry out an excellent idea. Incidentally I'll be at a computer club dinner meeting Tuesday evening, Jan 6, 7-9 PM, at the Park Plaza Diner, Cadman Plaza West and Pineapple. All Wikinerds are welcome.

I support the proposal so long as it involves moving only some of the material, not the entire section. Of the five paragraphs, only portions of two pertain to the Boathouse alone. Hertz1888 (talk) 05:38, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, after the merger was pending most of a year, I did it. Clumsily. Both articles now fail to move smoothly from idea to idea, due in part to the boathouse and the park losing their connection in the historical thesis of decline and resurgence. In a few days I hope to study how to fill the gaps and sand the joints neatly. I'm too frazzled right now for this kind of thought, and tomorrow is for a photographic expedition (New Jersey) that will leave me too tired. Thanks for the little things you cleaned up, and I hope you, Garry, and other thoughtful editors will make larger improvements before I return to these articles.

Boathouse on the Lullwater of the Lake in Prospect Park → Prospect Park Boathouse – The WP:COMMONNAME is "Prospect Park Boathouse" or just "The Boathouse". I don't think the extended name is used anywhere other than the NRHP listing; it should be mentioned in the article of course, but it shouldn't be its title. Pharos (talk) 17:30, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Prospect Park Boathouse is the more recognizable and natural name. See maps for usage of Boathouse name.[1] [2] I would also support a rename to: Boathouse (Prospect Park) --Wil540 art (talk) 04:13, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
