Well, it is now. Back in 2009 they were separate articles. They have since been merged, as I asked. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 14:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. I saw there had been an edit to this page and quickly responded. The edit was just temp updates. Sorry. - SummerPhD (talk) 14:32, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
