Meaning of pico
Unfortunately, a well meaning editor has removed all context about the meaning of pico. Many georgraphical places and other things are named pico because of what it means. As its not an English word, this context is helpful and should be included.

Definitions and etymology are why we link to Wiktionary. Aside from occasional exceptions, disambiguation pages are not appropriate for including unreferenced definitions and etymology.

The meaning of the word is obviously relevant since most of the usages in the long list relate to it. This is an encyclopedia and our purpose is to provide useful explanations of the subjects we cover. Excluding the meaning of pico does not serve our readers. Saying "well it's linked" is a poor excuse for degrading our coverage of the subject.

Good to see you have such a firm grasp of editing guidelines. I'll refrain from editing that page, but I will tag it for clean up and let other voices weigh in.

Yes, a short description -- not multiple sentences explaining something that is essentially not a simple definition. And by the way, I reverted
this edit of yours as there is much more wrong with that page than the definition.

Well, where is the short description? If you can do it better than I: have at it. But don't eliminate it. You obviously misunderstood policy, I've corrected you, now please set the page right for our readers. Thanks.
