Overlap/ Merge?

This article overlaps with Historical comparative research. Possible merge? DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 17:09, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think not. Hcr is used outside sociology, I believe (by historians, anthropologist, etc.). Historical sociology is limited to, well, sociology. Also, historical sociology is a subdiscipline/paradigm, while hcr is more of a methodology approach. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:53, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
