Talk:The Pocahontas Clause

New page review -- proposed merge

Hi Amoiseyeva. Thanks for creating. I've proposed that this article be merged since it forks the content of Racial Integrity Act of 1924#History leading to the laws' passage: 1859–1924. Standard editing practice would be to expand Racial Integrity Act of 1924#The Pocahontas exception and the rest of the section, and only pagesplit if that section gets too long.

I agree with this merge suggestion, and the text used in this new article can be condensed a bit to make the section in the previously-existing article more robust and informative. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:05, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge; don't worry about holding student work to a different standard. I think a great way for students is to learn is by seeing Wikipedia policies in action, and the content fork policy can be a tricky one to grasp. Thanks for the ping!

Merger complete. @Amoiseyeva: Merge performed here from your original version and this article converted to redirect. That said, the target article is not an entirely happy one, so if you're interested in developing the topic further, it could definitely use more editing and better/verified references. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 12:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
