Talk:Holiday cottage

Merger proposal

I propose that Vacation property be merged into Holiday cottage. The concepts clearly overlap to a considerable degree, and the differences are really of terminology and approach. Discussion on this has already started at Talk:Cottage, and I have proposed there that some of the article at Cottage - specifically the sections on practice in Scandinavia, North America, Russia and Hong Kong - should also be transferred into this merged article. Obviously the article content needs to be properly sourced and greatly improved, but the term "Holiday cottage" is the best one for the article. Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:04, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

No comments after 3 months, so merging. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:06, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Interwiki links

I'm glad this merger is finally done, thanks! Though, we need to find the proper wiki language links, looks like there's a lot of stuff gone in between. Cheers Horst-schlaemma (talk) 22:25, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Another merger proposal

I propose that page Dacha should be merged here. Essentialy, it is an article about holiday cottage in Russia, and since it almost completely usourced, it possibly should be reduced to some sentences/paragraphs in this article. Эйхер (talk) 15:57, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Dachas aren't quite the same as holiday cottages, and there's no lack of scholarly and popular books and articles on the concept of the dacha. Take a look at the similar concepts in other parts of the world in Dacha#See also. So I wholly disagree. —innotata 19:27, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Эйхер OK, I've added sources and made some changes, so now it's mostly sourced rather than mostly unsourced. Do you mind withdrawing the move suggestion? —innotata 04:18, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

No, I can not mind. Wikipedia does nothing but reflects reliable sources. If scholars in some countries with good academic traditions say that there is such uniquely russian thing like dacha, than, surely, Wikipedia should have an article on the subject. So I can do nothing but wait for articles about ulitsa, sapog(i), lopata, doroga, zhenshchina etc. Эйхер (talk) 16:57, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

OK, good. Yeah, it's quite possible we could use articles on a lot of these other cultural concepts. Or, on the other hand on the tradition of 'cabins' in my part of the U.S. —innotata 21:27, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
