Proposed merge to Duct tape

Highlights from this silly little article 'Duct tape alert' can be adequately discussed at 'Duct tape#Duct tape alert'.

Can't submit "Merge Into"!

Mediawiki isn't recognizing the "nomination withdrawn" on the Sept 2010 AfD (which was an accident anyway, to the editor who initiated it,

• What means this "oopz" in this edit summary? Can it be interpreted as nomination whitdrawn? User:Armbrust, 3 September 2010
• Yeah. I was just looking at some of the newer features around here and accidentally submitted an AfD for that article, though I didn't mean to. Though I had fixed it all by reversion, but I guess not. User:IvoShandor, 6 September 2010

This is the text I entered to explain my (unsuccessful) "Merge Into" request:

Duct tape alert article has 6 ref links, 5 to U.S. gov't websites. All 5 are broken. The only link that works is a brief CNN article (2003), with one sentence mentioning duct tape alert. The external link is to a site with an animated cartoon that plays LOUD music with static as soon as the page loads. The "main" Duct tape article is not inordinately lengthy, so it seems reasonable to merge this in, bringing the CNN ref along with it.

Am I allowed to fix the artifact Afd manually, or must an Admin do it? --FeralOink (talk) 01:50, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
