merge proposal[edit]

Hi, I found this page : Rubric (academic) which is the same thing, no? Should they be linked together or something? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.156.91.84 (talk) 01:44, 23 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

definitely needs merging - not sure which way it should go though as "rubric" should be in the singular so the page should be "rubric (education)" Madmedea 15:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. This article should definitely be at Rubric (academic) ; it's a singular and more general name there. SnowFire 02:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
