Merger Proposal

The result was merge. Froggerlaura (talk) 00:50, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the information in the article Equine sarcoid should be merged into this article, Skin cancer in horses#Sarcoids. The original page is a stub and has remained that way for 6 years with a few one sentence categories and few references. While I could copy the information in the Skin cancer in horses- sarcoid section to Equine sarcoid, I think discussion of the topic benefits from inclusion with the other major forms of equine skin cancer. The chart at the bottom of Equine sarcoid is also perplexing since BPV has not been proven to be the "only" cause of sarcoids. Froggerlaura (talk) 01:48, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like a good move. Very nice work on this article. Dana boomer (talk) 13:16, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
