Merge the two

[edit]

@Me Da Wikipedian: Please merge this article and Hezbollah launches drone attack on Hurfeish. [24Cr][talk] 20:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

They are different (but related) events. The attack on Hurfiesh didn't cause a fire and is 2 days later@Cromium Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 20:35, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Me Da Wikipedian: - the article about Liman only has perhaps half a dozen words not found in this article. The three sources in the Liman article are also used in this one. We need it to be one article or to have much more distinction. [24Cr][talk] 20:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Only 1 out of 2 there and 1 out of 4 here are copies. The rest sometimes have similar language. But I would say are distinct. They are also 2 seperate incidents that are 2-3 days apart@Cromium Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Me Da Wikipedian: Are we looking at the same articles? In the other article, paragraph 1 matches the first paragraph in this article except for the words "On Wednesday, multiple ... from ... struck the town of Hurfeish ..." From the other article, paragraph 2 is an exact match of paragraph 3 in this article. I get that they are distinct events on separate days but the narrative is almost identical for those two paragraphs. I don't see the point of having two such closely-matched articles.

So, yes as previously stated, 1 paragraph is copied. The same core background is helpful for both. If you want I change the words. So in other words, whats different (and btw you missed a bunch), as you said is the date, place, what happened as a result. Thats a lot. All thats the same is same perpetrator and there both attacks on Israel. By this logic, if Russia airstrikes Ukraine once doing nothing, and then sends a drone killing a bunch of people 2 days later, are they the same news story. And yes, the background of Russia has done lots of airstrikes is the past would apply to both.@Cromium Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:32, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I get that they are different events on different days but the other article has 89 words in its narrative (11 shorter than the minimum), of which 80 words are also found in this article. It isn't just one paragraph but pretty much 90% of the other article copied to here. [24Cr][talk] 22:01, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well I've added a bit more to the other hows it now Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 22:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
