What is the name of the alleged "recent PBS documentary"?
Did Lynda Barry lived in Richland Center, Wisconsin????Thank you- RFD 15:42, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
That's kind of a dirty trick, putting a link in a Wikipedia article that redirects back to the same page you linked from. I'm just sayin'. rowley ( talk) 00:11, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

It seems to me that {{Where}} is misused in the following paragraph, the final paragraph in the Personal life section:
Although {{Where}} can be used to ask for missing geographical information, its primary use (and the only use that appears on a mouseover) is to disambiguate a geographical reference (like the name "Oxford") which can be found in different parts of the world. The tagged statement above contains no geographical information at all, so how can something that doesn't exist be ambiguous?
The statement that a person had a particular disease is not inherently expected to specify in what geographical location the person contracted the disease. This use of {{Where}} looks to me like simply an editor's expression of curiosity about where Barry contracted dengue fever, but a statement like the one above would not ordinarily be required to supply geographical information. Therefore, I think this instance of {{Where}} should be removed. The fact that it has stood there ignored for a year and a half also argues for its removal. — 104.244.192.86 ( talk) 06:20, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

I think I should have linked MOS:PSEUDONYM instead in my edit summary. "Lynda" seems like it would not count as a hypocorism (which is the rationale given for this edit); moreover, the omission of Jean should mark "Lynda Barry" as a professional name. Kolekant ( talk) 05:28, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
