Talk:Anck-su-namun

message: Given the fact that Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages states 'There are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap. Wikipedia is not a dictionary; there doesn't need to be a separate entry for every concept in the universe' I'm going to add a merge link to this article. Thank you for wanting to expand this particular character but given the fact that Anck-su-namun can be pretty well described on The Mummy page I think it is superfluous. If you want to expand the description of this character I think it would fit rather well onto the other page and would be very much appreciated. Thanks! --ImmortalGoddezz 04:09, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the problem with merging into The Mummy (1999 movie) is that the character's history stretches into the sequel. It could work if both The Mummy and The Mummy Returns were merged as well. Which wouldn't be a bad idea either as the two movies make for one large story anyway.

replies: text: I have to agree on this one. It is apart of a larger story, though still manages to fit neatly into two seperate films. I think it would be a good idea if they were both merged into one larger article. Although after thinking about it a seperate page could be made 'characters from The Mummy and The Mummy Returns' or something to that extent, do character profiles on there and have both pages (the mummy and the mummy returns) linked to the character profile page. Just a thought. --ImmortalGoddezz 06:19, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This would be fine with me. Either of those two choices would satisfy me. The 'Characters of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns' seems like the better choice though. (Stephen Day 02:44, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Can I challenge one of you (or both) to create a 'Characters of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns'? I'd advise against merging the articles on the two movies, since they are two seperate entities. You may also want to include characters from 'The Scorpion King' since that movie was also closely related to to the Mummy movies. Kerowyn 12:19, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't mind doing it, but I'm rather new to heavy editing [not to mention creating a whole new article] so..I wouldn't mind doing it with somebody else. That is if they want to. --ImmortalGoddezz 18:54, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merging

message: I have no problem helping with this. I have two questions before we begin though:
1) What is the article going to be named? 'Characters of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns' doesn't seem to fit well if we are going to include characters from The Scorpion King. 'Characters of the Mummy movies' might be better, but could also lead to confusion regarding the original black and white film. Unless those characters will be included as well.
2) What process do you what to use. The best way to do this seems to be to simply move Anck-su-namun to this new name. Then it could be used as the base around which the other character would be added. (Stephen Day 20:44, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That title sounds good to me. I won't have time to start anthing until this upcoming weekend. If anyone wants to start before that - please do. :-) (Stephen Day 05:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The title does sound excellent. I'd need to watch the movies again before I could work on any section of the article.. Might get around to it during the middle of the week? Possibly not until next weekend --ImmortalGoddezz 05:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
