Hi there, I hope you don't mind that I undid your edit to Babes. I agree that babes doesn't stand well on its own as a disambig, but I think Babe is a better target than Babeș (duplication notwithstanding - because it is a name). I think this option is more agreeable for all involved. Thanks, menaechmi ( talk) 18:09, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
Why did you remove the section Plays from the Savage disamb page ???
-- RSStockdale ( talk) 13:09, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for catching that. I had checked for the title under "The Lone Star Ranger (1942 film)" and "Zane Grey's Lone Star Ranger" (which is the alternate title which appears on many of the posters for the film). Onel5969 TT me 17:00, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi there. I've been thinking about my actions today and I would hereby apologize for vandalising the page "Rain (disambiguation)". The reason why I did this was because I was upset, because the weather prohibited me from going to a local fair that comes once a year, which I'm usually excited for. I was too afraid to accept that I cannot go because I saw some of my friends post pics of them enjoying the fair on Instagram and I didn't want to miss out on the fun.
I am deeply sorry and I hope you would forgive me. Signed, a Wikipedia contributor.
Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Please clue me in on why. Thanks. PHILA19106 ( talk) 17:18, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for spotting that one I'd missed. Looked like we both missed it from the history. In general with these sections, I feel urge to put Fictional characters (possibly also the increasing use of Fictional entities) at the bottom next to Other uses, just like People.

Dear BKonrad, I am a Rotarian at Elk Rapids Rotary Club in Northern Michigan near Traverse City. I noticed that my posts were undone by several times. I have tried to update my posts with relevant information and appropriate links to substantiate the TRF nomenclature. It is not a big deal to me, but the 1.2 million members recognize the TRF short form of The Rotary foundation. If these are not good enough, I can get the district to crate an official link to connect TRF to The Rotary Foundation. This is my first attempt to contribute to Wiki page. May be you can suggest a sure fire way I can satisfy the Wiki requirements. Thank you very much and have a great evening / day! Bob Chaphalkar Bobchaphalkar ( talk) 01:59, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
the items you removed were from mechanical battery, encompassing flywheel and gravity battery ; neither of those fit in the list of battery types, which really focusses on electric-chemical batteries
What would you rather do.. retroactively add those there? I don't think it fits at all.
i had originally made a specific page for mechanical battery, but then someone else merged it, and now you delete..
should i make the original again, or revert your edit? MfortyoneA ( talk) 18:37, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
zwinger used 'to be animal enclosure' - (clearly wrong , which is why I changed it to animal enclosure), I see you removed it because animal enclosure doesn't mention it, however is deleting it altogether too extreme, google confirms zwinger supposedly translates as kennel in german, would it be appropriate to just say that in the DAB page directly? MfortyoneA ( talk) 13:35, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
the text says: "a band of forty armed men assembled from five villages threw down enclosures and burned hedges in the Forest of Galtres in the plague year of 1348" 'threw down enclosures' - that sounds more like 'physical enclosures' than legal ones? this is why i thought it's better to link to disambiguation, then someone who really knows what this means can clarify with a more specific link. conversely could the text be re-worded to make it clearer
MfortyoneA ( talk) 10:54, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
every link is an opportunity to encode more machine processable information in this huge body of text, umm no. Emphatically, no. Wikipedia is first and foremost for human readers. Machine processing of information is a far distant secondary, tertiary, or quaternary level of priority. I'd suggest slowing down and trying to understand Wikipedia a little better before you go off expending a lot of efforts pursuing idiosyncratic objectives that may be at odds with current practices. older ≠ wiser 15:03, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
Please stop deleting the work I keep adding to the page Nightshade, as it is in no way a malicious edit. Nightshade has been decided as the next book title in the series. To verify this, please check the page "Never Say Die". TomBarker23 ( talk) 20:25, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
TomBarker23. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks. —Preceding

Thank you, and FYI I live in one of the most technologically connected places in the world and you will never block all of my IP's. C7BK ( talk) 17:39, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

You've been around long enough to know you shouldn't be edit warring on Mum (disambiguation). Toddst1 ( talk) 01:05, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
I just wanted you to know that I regret telling you to fuck off. I actually regretted it more-or-less as soon as I had said it. You were wrong about the article/guidelines, but the message you left me was certainly not at all impolite, & there was no call for me to have blown up the way I did. Believe it or not, I was actually composing a note of contrition when Todd showed up at my talk page with his nonsense. If I apologized at that point, I was afraid it would have come across as backing down from his puerile threats (the only thing I regret about telling him to fuck off is not putting it in ALLCAPS). Then came the ANI drama-fest; at that point, I was afraid an apology would have come across as a passive "unblock" request. While not particularly cordial, there had been nothing block-worthy about my conduct, so I again figured the timing wasn't right. Now that the smoke has cleared (and umpteen hours of editor-productivity have been needlessly and pointlessly wasted), please allow me to do what I had intended to do in the first place: I was out of line, and I apologize.

Hi BK. I'm interested in your opinion at Trackway (disambiguation), which I tagged for speedy deletion but was declined as it "could possibly be saved as a list". Is there precedent for a ____ (disambiguation) page to be (or redirect to) a list? My arguments for deletion are at Talk:Trackway (disambiguation)#Delete.
