Hello, my friend. I guess I'm a little rusty, but why is EPRO (disambiguation) needed if nothing links to it and nobody will search for it? Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 02:21, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Why did you delete the Silicon Mountain Disambiguation page I was working on? As you can see, the page / article was under development (just newly created and pending content which was coming), why didn't you create a thread on the talk page then I give you my reason for creating the page rather than just delete, it's not fair. You would have asked me first before going ahead to delete if at all you are supposed to. -- Alangi Derick ( talk) 12:37, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

By this edit you made the James H. Lane (general) dab page a redirect to the more general James Lane. This, however, was not an incomplete disambiguation. The unusual circumstance about James H. Lane (general) is that there were two different Civil War generals with the same name and even the same middle name. Anyone who lands on that page is looking for one of those generals, not to any of a whole bunch of other James Lanes with different middle names and different vocations. Obviously the generals should both be listed on James Lane, as they are, but the more specific dab page should be retained to make the readers' lives easier.

There is no such place as Southern Ireland. It is the Republic of Ireland. An independant country. We do not call it Southern Ireland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.167.100 ( talk) 20:02, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
B, the trouble with this title is that there's another one in Alaska. Probably there's a better way to distinguish them, but this is one way that I've seen. The Alaska one is listed at List of rivers in Alaska, but doesn't have an article. I didn't add that one at the disambig page at Beaver Creek, but did make other relevant changes there, in case you want to come up with a better scheme and fix these.

Should MoS shortcut redirects be sorted to certain specific maintenance categories? An Rfc has been opened on this talk page to answer that question. Your sentiments would be appreciated! Paine Ellsworth put'r there 16:53, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
I read your rationale for reverting the NSA disambiguation edit but also certain that you have not considered the anonymous IP source of the first disambiguation for the NSA nor are considering the proper service of the purpose behind disambiguation. The Talk was posted with purpose and the National Security Administration article does not deserve ownership of initials in the English language considering the sheer number of other things which may be called NSA! It would have been civil to make replies to the Talk before reverting or forcing your personal edits and also considering the number of relative edits that needed to be made. Problemsmith ( talk) 12:52, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
whole ideal of Primary is facetious when the author is an IP address instead of an Wikipediancitation needed -- first, there is no reason to presume that edits made by an IP editor have any greater or lesser value than edits made by "an Wikipedian". If you understood anything about how Wikipedia works, you would know that IP editors ARE Wikipedians just as much as any registered editor. Second, NSA has been a redirect to the National Security Agency for most of its existence, and previous attempts to place a disambiguation page there have been repeatedly restored to a redirect by various "Wikipedians". The point is, is that YOU need to establish consensus to change what is essentially long-standing consensus. older ≠ wiser 15:29, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Bkonrad, would you mind blocking Acronym Addict per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DeepNikita? Thanks. Sro23 ( talk) 04:17, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
I guess that the parser function didn't work for some reason. It didn't work for me, but I assumed that that was because I was using an IP. Maybe replacing 0 with 0 would make it work? Or maybe 7500 has to be positive (and the > sign replaced with a < sign) or have a numbers comma. I know that Wikipedia has some way of figuring out which side of the Atlantic the reader is on because the please donate messages state the country that the reader is in. A request for an editor with more technical knowledge could be put out if all else fails. What do you think? 98.197.198.46 ( talk) 19:30, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Hiya, noticed you have been removing Knapton Hill from placenames on the Knapton disambiguation page, repeatedly. A citation (yes, even on a disambig page) should be fine in case there is no wikipedia article to reference (should create new article, really, that would avoid the bot or the tag). Anyway, I'm new at this, so if you could make improvements, that would be great!
