Replying to Mateusz:

Including a pointer to the "Contractors and employees" page is good and 
is noted.

However may I suggest a more detailed motivation for total deletion of 
page "OSMF_employees_and_contractors" in favour of the page 
"Contractors_and_employees".

The first section duplicates "Contractors_and_employees" but in a less 
detailed manner, so now looks to be redundant.
The second section (which I wrote) is probably unnecessary and can die, 
but if anyone truly loves it, the legal stuff could be added to the 
"Contractors_and_employees" page as a footnote.
The footnote link to Martin Raifer's introduction as iD developer is 
useful and could be added to the "Contractors_and_employees" page as a 
footnote.

I like to believe that holding two concurrent versions of data is just 
asking for trouble as updating is typically unsynchronised and you end 
up with two competing truths.

Any thoughts?  Yes/No?
