Okay, I'll begin a review now and make straightforward copyedits as I go. (Hey I thought this looked familiar...here we go again) Please revert if I inadvertently guff the meaning. I'll jot queries below:

The two articles were split because the history bit was so long (not to mention unreferenced, and a copyright infringement). It's somewhat slimmer now, and could go back. Here's a
test merge. However, I note that this comes to 65k in size, and
WP:SIZERULE suggests that such an article should be divided.

Ahaa, no they are two different measurements - the readable prose size is only 17 kB (2908 words) - you can put the tool in your monobook here at
User:Dr pda/prosesize.js - once loaded you get a "page size" in your toolbox in hte left hand column. Very useful. So this could be double the size and not need splitting. I think a single merged article is a major improvement and something that could with some polish and review end up at FAC. Cheers,

Great, thanks for the pointer. A couple of questions: can I just perform a merge now, or does it have to be put up for discussion? And: can the GA review carry on, or would it have to be restarted after such a big change to the article?
