:::::Whistling is right on our different philosophies being a source of conflict on other articles we both edit.  But in this article, it's not a question of whether merging or having seperate articles is a better editorial decision: it's a question of what the sources say.

The statement on Singer's "educational quiz" certainly makes it sound like she defines fertility awareness as charting both mucus and temperature, and mentions the Ovulation Method as a related but distinct method.
