:::Well, JH, it needs to be merged with the original article, ASAP (you've correctly identified why). What you do, in that case, is identify the 'new' facts that are in 3039 and add them -where appropriate- to the existing article. The original source isn't so much superseded by all of the new material as enhanced. Facts are only superseded if they run counter to one another (''3026'': "1500 units were produced." ''3039'': "750 units were produced." ''3039'' would trump ''3026'' in this case.) Also, re-write the material in your own words. There is more than 1 way to write a fact. Find your voice. Imagine yourself as a reporter or researcher writing a report on the vehicle, and you're using the the title as a resource.
