I have no objection in principle to the loss of the disambiguation page PROVIDED you find a better disambiguator. [[George Ponsonby]] was also a politican. [[User:Peterkingiron|Peterkingiron]] ([[User talk:Peterkingiron|talk]]) 21:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC) |

You should be ashamed of yourself for (i) wasting people's time with counterproductive enforcement of the MOS and (ii) reverting without even looking! |

In all my years on this project, redlinks were tolerated on disambiguations where there was an assertion of notability. How else do you stimulate article creation, if not by creating redlinks in the right places? Besides, MOSDABRL (which I have never before had occasion to consult) states that "A disambiguation page should not be made up completely of red links or have only one blue link in it, because the basic purpose of disambiguation is to refer users to other Wikipedia pages." What did you want me to do - wikify the word [[physicist]]? Ugh!! -- <b>[[User:Y|Y]] [[User_talk:Y|not?]]</b> 16:30, 31 July 2009 (UTC) |

| Just wanted to show my support for your tireless contributions to hndis-cleanup, for both you and your alter-ego. The recent criticism is completely unjustified, I have always found your edits to follow WP:MOSDAB scrupulously. Editorial differences will always occur but this should never have gone beyond the pages concerned or your talk page. Keep up the good work! Tassedethe ( talk) 08:30, 30 September 2008 (UTC) |

We did it!
 I see you're quick with your archives :-) I would like only add that in my case it had been an one-liner already before your shortening - obviously this depends on the monitor's resolution and the chosen skin of Wikipedia. Regards ~~ Phoe talk ~~ 20:23, 27 July 2009 (UTC) I usually don't get round to archiving, and it gets a bit mad. Yes, it wasn't a one-liner on my screen but I appreciate that it depends on the screen. Thanks, Boleyn ( talk) 20:25, 27 July 2009 (UTC) Your messageSorry, I removed my post to your page after I realized that the wrong red link was on that disambiguation page. Dodge rambler ( talk) 21:06, 27 July 2009 (UTC) The thing is a number of editors are in the process of creating articles for every Canadian MP and Senator and that also involves some disambiguation. If I don't put a redlink on that page it's quite likely someone else will create the article in question and overlook adding a link on the disambiguation page. Dodge rambler ( talk) 21:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC) I see the issue. The majority of red links put on dabs are never turned into articles, but if it's underway, I'll ignore these from now on. Thanks, Boleyn ( talk) 21:20, 27 July 2009 (UTC) If you look at the edit history, you'll see that a previous editor didn't link correctly, so there are actually two topics, and it isn't clear what the primary topic is in this case. Viriditas ( talk) 09:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC) Yes, it was a red link which didn't meet MOS:DABRL, but I see you've changed it now. Boleyn2 ( talk) 10:01, 29 July 2009 (UTC) George Ponsonby/politicianI have no objection in principle to the loss of the disambiguation page PROVIDED you find a better disambiguator.
