Pittsburgh article(s)?
Is it necessary to have two articles on the history of Pittsburgh? Both are approved but could be merged into one. Also, there is no article on Pittsburgh itself as I write this - perhaps the history articles could be copied there and cut down into a shorter history section, with room for non-history sections.

- This is essentially a WP import: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Pittsburgh&oldid=124941132 from 2007. There is some re-writing here, but not enough for my taste. Essentially what the CZ editors did back in 2007 was to approve a WP article. I'd prefer to see the approval status removed and the article re-combined with Pittsburgh, History since 1800 (also another approval of a WP article whose approval IMHO should be removed) to form History of Pittsburgh. You can see also in the edit history an edit war between Jensen and Sanger over the name of the article.
- The "discussion" to split the article is found here: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Talk:Pittsburgh,_History_since_1800/Draft
