thread_title:  Poor quality article 

message: There is a lot of overlap between the entries cis-regulatory element cis-acting element and regulatory element they could all be merged with cis-regulatory element which has the best sources and evidence.
:I have merged the cis-acting page with this one. Sarahburge (talk) 09:53, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Merge all articles will definitely clean things up a bit. Article on GC Box should be added to the "See Also" section. The link for this article is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GC_box 
GC Box is a promoter region which is an example of a cis-acting element.

replies: text: Agreed that the cis and trans articles should not be merged.  I have therefore removed the merger banners.  Boghog (talk) 05:32, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Cis-regulatory module seems to treat "element" and "module" as roughly synonymous. Is there a reason to have two articles? --Animalparty-- (talk) 21:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd similarly support a merge given the overlap. Element may be a subset of module, but the module page goes into plenty of details on the individual elements! (here from 's post at WT:MCB). T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 11:06, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Merge: Yes, I wrote (over there): Cis-regulatory module and Cis-regulatory element seem to overlap largely, and to a non-geneticist they seem extremely similar if not a WP:FORK. It doesn't look as if a simple redirect would do the job, so perhaps someone could look at the matter, and either make the articles clearly distinct or merge them. Editors have noted the issue since, ah, 2011. With T.Shafee's confirmation, I'm happy to support the merge. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:09, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've left the nomenclature unchanged, just in case someone comes up with a referenced way of distinguishing between the two. My reading is that use is mixed, so they're certainly best discussed together. Klbrain (talk) 11:21, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
