== Merge Vote on ] ==

Hi I was thinking about taking this whole merge discussion in an entirely different direction. Instead of merging the info on the poorly named ] into the unfocused ]. How about we expand on ]'s idea and create sub sections on known Hatches?

Remember the "The DHARMA Initiative" article is supposed to '''focus''' on what it is. Adding more information to "''the Swan''" only shows that this hatch should be expanded upon in another article. The title of this article after all is ''not'' "The DHARMA Hatches." To me it looks like we should put in some information about what exactly the DHARMA Initiative is. We should give some history on it maybe include the information on the film and then some brief information about the hatches and what they are. Hatches that we know more about like "The Swan" should have its own page that would then contain information such as "the Map", "The Timer", etc... I think that this is a more reasonable solution and would also make it a more logical solution as an encyclopedia article. Please let me know what you think (in your talk page)! And if you do agree please note that on your merge vote! Thanks -- ] 04:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
