Merge?

Though there is no particular translation specified as a source at Ethics (book), it seems to thus far to be mostly or entirely quotes from this translation, and thus much of this page might be merged there, with note on the page that primarily this translation has been used (or used entirely, unless otherwise noted). ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 10:54, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

• Endorse Merge. Ethics (book) cites Wikisource, which also uses the R. H. M. Elwes translation (via Project Gutenberg) as noted there, so we apparently have two articles based on the same translation. I also think the merged article should be titled Ethics (Spinoza), using the author name as disambiguator rather than "(book)" or the translator. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:47, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I see the redirect has now been done. I would prefer "Ethics (Spinoza)" also, but unfortunately that is not the preference, as yet, at Wikipedia, and until that changes, I believe it preferable to retain the current title here, to match the WP page. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 22:25, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
