These no longer say the same thing. Is there really no way we can merge them, using {{alternative form of}}? Mglovesfun (talk) 09:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Of course we can, the question is whether there is a willingness to do so, and if so, which form gets labeled the {{alternative form of}} the other. FWIW, endeavor is older by 9 minutes. —Angr 21:45, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

I wish we could resolve this kind of redundant entry somehow. It’s a problem in choosing which senses apply, and can become unresolvaby confusing when variations represent regional differences, but also common and proper nouns and “proper” adjectives, and varying number. Even more confusing when some of the senses are plural of or alternative form of the other. E.g., aboriginal/Aboriginal, labour/Labour/labor/Labor, First Nation/First Nations.

Our lemmas aren’t really lemmas, so sometimes the reader may have to jump between two or three entries to actually read a comprehensive definition of a term.. —Michael Z. 2013-04-17 22:27 z
