Thank you for pointing ambiguities in the "Enzo Martinelli" entryHello, I saw your edits to the " Enzo Martinelli" entry, pointing out the ambiguity of the term "Università di Roma": I corrected all the links. Thank you for remembering me this common mistake: it is due to the fact that the Sapienza University of Rome is far older than the other two, therefore sources about its famous alumni often omit to precise its entire name, referring implicitly to it.

In-State Tuition Case LawBD2412, I noticed in your article for market participants and in the United States section of public universities, you mentioned that the SCOTUS declared that reduced tuition rates for state residents was Constitutional on the basis that the state acted as a market participant. I realize this occurred in 2005 and I am asking a lot of your recall ability, but is there any way that you could you site that particular case? Thanks for your help.

Re: United States District Court for the District of AlaskaThis is in regards to the expansion of this article you made about 2 years ago, and specifically one statement. I had previously flagged this as needing attention on another talk page, but perhaps you may not have seen that.
The statute referenced above is the Alaska Statehood Act. Alaska has had a United States District Court since 1884. The court started out with one judge based in Sitka, then expanded to 3 judges in 1900, and 4 judges from 1909 until the end of territorial days. Obviously, the Statehood Act addressed the transition away from the total federal jurisdiction which existed in the territory. I'm not sure whether the solution is to create another article specifically addressing pre-statehood, or include it in this article The way the above text reads tends to give the impression that Alaska has only had a United States District Court since 1958. That needs to be corrected, since people are running with that statement as if it were gospel. No offense intended, but I am NOT a fan of cutting and pasting information just because it's in the public domain, without properly vetting the information first. I see far too much of it on here already. In fact, the plethora of false information I would get in e-mails, that I could trace back to cut and paste jobs from Wikipedia articles, is one of the things which got me involved in this in the first place.

Why did you make this change?You made this change to the article Contact: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Contact_(film)&diff=416061060&oldid=415858899 I don't understand why you took the time to do this. I can see by your user page that this is called "fix a disambiguation link". I understand that this means Wikipedia must do some work to convert "First Amendment" to "First Amendment to the United States Constitution" and that your fix relieves Wikipedia of future instances of this work but is this really a good use of your time? I am kind of a beginner here at Wikipedia and like to understand what's going on. GroveGuy ( talk) 21:35, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Rita MossHi - I note you made a minor adjustment to Rita Moss, and inserted a link to Deer under Hart. Although the word Hart is old English for the word deer, I think this link is oblique and unhelpful since in this instance "Hart" represents a surname, not a word. If it links anywhere, it should link to a page of Lorenz Hart the songwriter. Peter — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pzzp ( talk • contribs) 13:35, 28 February 2011 (UTC) Paper folding disambiguationI believe you have it wrong about disambiguation pages. If there are a number of meanings for a title and no very definite main topic it should be a disambiguation page. Making it into a normal article stops editors trawling round Wikipedia and fixing the links properly. It is better if the links are fixed as soon a spossible but they will be eventually anyway if it is a disambiguation page. Dmcq ( talk) 15:28, 1 March 2011 (UTC) EmmyI see you're an active dabber and I was wondering what you thought about the recent change to turn Emmy into a disambiguation page (instead of a redirect to Emmy Award with hatnotes). About 1,700 links to "Emmy" (per The Daily Disambig) — I'd be surprised if the awards weren't the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in this case.

Woodshed ( talk) 16:38, 1 March 2011 (UTC) Please read about disambiguationPlease read the guidelines about disambiguation rather than engaging in silly point edits as you did at paper folding.

Thanks and questionHi BD2412, thanks for the heads up on my Talk page about disambiguations. I am trying to fill in the remaining 2-character combinations as disambiguations and haven't quite gotten all the MoS down yet. I appreciate your fixing my malformed ones. To that end, I noticed that the number-letter combos have navigation to adjacent articles in the series, e.g. the Navigate box at 1B (disambiguation). Do you think that would be helpful for the two-letter combinations as well, with vertical for the first latter and horizontal for the second letter? If so, can we use the same template? If we need a different one, do you know how to make one of those templates, or where I could make further inquiries? Thanks! Jokestress ( talk) 19:50, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Shane505 ( talk) 02:09, 9 June 2011 (UTC) RomanceI see that you are disambiguating some "Romance" links to "Romance (genre)".

BollyJeff || talk 12:35, 3 May 2011 (UTC) ComfortI'm not convinced that the dictionary sense of "Comfort" is the Primary Usage in encyclopedic terms, but won't argue that point right now.

WidthHi — can you explain what you intended by this edit, please? It seems to imply that there exists a more general disambiguation page for "width" than the one you edited, width (mathematics). But there isn't: width is an article and there is no width (disambiguation). Are you trying to imply that {{ mathdab}} pages shouldn't exist? If so that seems a much broader topic than can be addressed by random tagging of individual pages. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:48, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Secretary of State (Great Britain)I have improved the page a little. I don't feel it is incomplete, as there were only two Secretaries of State in this period, and both are linked. I could, as suggested, make it into a short article, but that would involve duplicating information which is already on the linked pages. Do you mind if the "incomplete" tag is removed now? Moonraker2 ( talk) 03:18, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Degrassi seasonCould you please explain what you mean by an incomplete disambiguation on Degrassi (season 1), Degrassi (season 2), and Degrassi (season 3)? In 2010 the title of Degrassi: The Next Generation was changed to Degrassi, thus subsequent season articles use the new name ( Degrassi (season 10)). If a user were to apply this convention to previous seasons, they would be redirected to the correct title, unless it is season 3 or less, because Degrassi could refer to a number of series. 117Avenue ( talk) 04:43, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Time (song)I was wondering, why do think Time (song) is WP:INCDAB rather than WP:DDAB? What's the distinction? Would you rather see this list of 50ish items added to Time (disambiguation)?

Sunset BeachWhat happened was that User:Kyle1278 did a really sloppy mass run through all the redlinks that were left on List of communities in Ontario back in 2009, without making any effort to sort out whether some of them were incorrectly titled. It took months to clean up the mess he made, and in fact it's still not entirely done. The problem with Sunset Beach is that none of the four are municipalities; all four of them are merely rural hamlets inside municipalities, and none of them can claim primary status over any of the others.

ManorHello, BD2412. I notice you have changed some links to manor, which is a dab page, pointing them to manor house. In English history, "manor" nearly always means a landed estate, which might or might not have had a manor house. Domesday Book is based on manors and not on parishes. In many cases, a present-day English rural parish is based on a Domesday manor and is much the same in area. The better link is usually manor. If you find "lord of the manor", then we have a page for lord of the manor. Regards, Moonraker ( talk) 03:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I could, as suggested, make it into a short article, but that would involve duplicating information which is already on the linked pages. Do you mind if the "incomplete" tag is removed now?

Degrassi seasonCould you please explain what you mean by an incomplete disambiguation on Degrassi (season 1), Degrassi (season 2), and Degrassi (season 3)? In 2010 the title of Degrassi: The Next Generation was changed to Degrassi, thus subsequent season articles use the new name ( Degrassi (season 10)). If a user were to apply this convention to previous seasons, they would be redirected to the correct title, unless it is season 3 or less, because Degrassi could refer to a number of series. 117Avenue ( talk) 04:43, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Time (song)I was wondering, why do think Time (song) is WP:INCDAB rather than WP:DDAB? What's the distinction? Would you rather see this list of 50ish items added to Time (disambiguation)? I have no strong opinion on this, it just seems like it would over-clutter the dab page. -- Muhandes ( talk) 07:04, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Hamilton (surname and title)I wonder if you could explain what you meant by this? Thanks SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 12:36, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Starting TodayHello, why did you restore the history underneath the current stub. [2] I don't see how the are connected. -- Tikiwont ( talk) 21:45, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Sunset BeachWhat happened was that User:Kyle1278 did a really sloppy mass run through all the redlinks that were left on List of communities in Ontario back in 2009, without making any effort to sort out whether some of them were incorrectly titled. It took months to clean up the mess he made, and in fact it's still not entirely done. The problem with Sunset Beach is that none of the four are municipalities; all four of them are merely rural hamlets inside municipalities, and none of them can claim primary status over any of the others. Bearcat ( talk) 04:13, 15 May 2011 (UTC) Dab clean-upI just wanted to commend all the hard work I've seen you doing on identifying so many dodgy dabs. Boleyn ( talk) 19:51, 21 May 2011 (UTC) SandboxRegarding section 3a, I'm unsure how the two list solution would be implemented. (Also, you may want to pull my comment there - it was just an aside to you.) BTW much better placement of the "have Mathbot conform to MOSDAB" section, thanks for that. -- JaGa talk 19:35, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Springfield Road (SEPTA station)Do you know of other "Springfield Road stations" besides the two within the SEPTA Media-Sharon Hill Line? If not, then you should've left the dab page alone. ---- DanTD ( talk) 23:47, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Carl Phillip WeberYou added a {{dn}} template after Carl Weber on Pennsylvania Railroad, Connecting Railway Bridge, and I have looked into it and learned that this was very likely Carl Phillip Weber. See: http://www.askart.com/askart/w/carl_phillip_weber/carl_phillip_weber.aspx I am putting this on your talk page, because I am not quite sure how much further this effort should go. I added Carl Phillip Weber to the Carl Weber disambiguation page, but I have not created a bio for him. What do you advise? -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 12:24, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
McIntyre v. Ohio Elections CommissionFYI, I started this. Bearian ( talk) 21:18, 7 June 2011 (UTC) I'd appreciate another pair of eyesI've been discussing (cordially, so far) with another user whether certain types of things belong on dab pages. Would you take a look at this and this (specifically the part about joyous events in Judaism) and tell me what you think? Thanks. -- Auntof6 ( talk) 21:09, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Polbot mergingsI scanned through the history of Quadell (who no longer appears active) for information about the large number of Merge templates attributed to his bot. I saw that you were working through them. This was in 2009 and I was wondering if you or anyone else was still actively merging the information. They are making up a large percentage of the backlog [3]. AIRcorn (talk) 05:59, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Carl T. FischerThanks for creating this page, it looks great. Gareth E Kegg ( talk) 20:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Michael WaughPlease clarify. (You didn't note this as a problem but you are a more experienced editor than me.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Waugh_(artist) is an orphan because all of the links go out, and none come in? Is this what is meant by "incoming link"? thanks-- Aichikawa ( talk) 19:58, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for weighing in!Thanks for weighing in on Wafah Dufour. -- GentlemanGhost ( talk) 19:26, 17 July 2011 (UTC) A rice cake photo of yoursHowdy. One of your photos got used on Milwaukee TV stations website. Apparently it was also used on Cosmopolitan.com as well, but I can't find the photo there.-- Rockfang ( talk) 16:39, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
ManorHello, BD2412. I notice you have changed some links to manor, which is a dab page, pointing them to manor house. In English history, "manor" nearly always means a landed estate, which might or might not have had a manor house. Domesday Book is based on manors and not on parishes. In many cases, a present-day English rural parish is based on a Domesday manor and is much the same in area. The better link is usually manor. If you find "lord of the manor", then we have a page for lord of the manor. Regards, Moonraker ( talk) 03:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
