Please stop adding entries to Disco (disambiguation) that are not appropriate per WP:DAB and WP:MOSDAB. older ≠ wiser 12:20, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Not that everyone else involved in the discussion was above reproach at all times either, but I'm rather bothered by the tone that AD chose to adopt, both during the discussion and in situations not immediately related to it. I guess my question to you is whether you feel we should pursue some level of action with regards to this, or leave it be at this point. Thanks for your input.

Let me tell you one thing - What you Americans this not the truth.
I'm Gonna have this page contain correct info. Lets see how your vested interest will stop it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.206.5 ( talk) 14:56, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
I really can't see how ceramics refers mostly to any of those; it's ambiguous and I'm not even sure what I believe "ceramics" means any more. This stuff is complicated, man. So the disambiguation page seemed best to me; I guess you approve? Red Slash 18:47, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Wait a minute, you're older != wiser?? Ahh, that's how I vaguely recognized your username! Red Slash 18:47, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

At Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic for Avatar? I've made some noises about what I think you're saying, even though I said I'd let you answer for yourself. Care to clear that up? Dicklyon ( talk) 15:41, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

You said "No, piped links should not go in the initial position-- if piping is necessary, it should go in the description", but where does it say that? If this be true, then I guess I'll have to change everything I've thrown up on disambiguation pages relating to runes so that people won't become confused.
All I know is that the bare minimum you're doing to make these conform to whatever rule or idea sucks.

Hi Bkonrad, You recently reverted some changes I made to the Wing and Wings disambiguation pages. I agree with you that we should treat searches for plural and singular noun forms the same, and I can see why you think my change interfered with this. But if you take a closer look you'll see that this was not the case. If you look through the results on the page, the majority of them are not simple nouns that can be written in either form (wing or wings), but rather proper nouns for which only one form is valid. We know that a user who types "wing" is not searching for Wings (band) or WINGs or "Wings" (Live song), and equally, we know that a user searching who types "wings" is not looking for Anna Wing or Toby Wing or Wing (singer). As for those words which can be written in plural or singular form, I've added those few to both pages. If I've missed one on the plural page, just let me know, or of course you can just add it there yourself. -- Xiaphias ( talk) 22:59, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Just a question... When is it appropriate to use ;markup instead of bold? Thanks! Gjs238 ( talk) 12:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
@ Gjs238: According to H:DL, the only appropriate use of ; markup is for terms in definition lists where it is followed by a : markup for the definition. older ≠ wiser 12:38, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Just checking that you've seen my edit summary. I agree with you that they're different - that's why it's not necessary to put it on a disambiguation page, which is geared towards clearing up ambiguity between articles or titles that might be confused. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 21:18, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
