Well, the current voting features already cover things like that, although maybe we could add the improved "related" side-pane to the post itself, in addition to the compose page.

I wouldn't want to violate individual articles by "merging" however. For example, I'm working hard on my Dead Simple Python series, so I wouldn't want someone else to be able to mix in other content. If I want to cite another article myself, I can include the quote manually.

Like I said, the "dupe hammer" itself is dangerous here. It can quickly devolve into silencing one voice over another.
