Made a quick merge of the two articles Running a Mining Op and Participating in a Mining Op. I removed the obvious duplicate information but more refining will be required to make this article more coherent and useful. I may even do a rewrite of the entire article to better present this information. I will be coming back to this over the next week or so but feel free to comment and even make your own edits.
since no one seems to object to the new merged version I am updating links to the new wiki page and we should consider marking this page for deletion
