FYI, I left a comment on Talk:Abraham Lincoln asking for people's views of removing the hatnote pointing to Abe Lincoln (musician), which you added on December 4. Glenfarclas ( talk) 06:48, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Please accept my apologies if my edits were not constructive. I was surprised by the message and puzzled because you were not specific about why you think this. As I said on the talk page about the proposed move, I think all the content of the disambig page, should be moved to Glider. I thought I was in agreement with you about this. What my edits were trying to do was readying the page for its move. I had envisaged the new Glider page would list all the meanings of "glider". This list should include its most common aviation meaning, ie Glider (sailplane), which was curiously missing before. Having added that meaning, the first line was then superfluous. Furthermore the first line did not describe all the other memanings on that page and referred only to the aviation meanings.
The current proposal is 180 degrees from the situation about 15 months ago. Then a user typing the word "glider" was presented with an article on sailplanes with a note on the top that gave a link to all the other possible meanings. This link is the present disambig page. The logic being that the main meaning of the word was a sailplane.
I would prefer this former arrangement but there was a long discussion this time last year, in which User:Wolfkeeper strenuously argued, and I really mean strenuously, the word 'glider' had a wider meaning in aviation. Eventually a compromise was reached with assistance from an arbitrator that the article on unpowered aircraft with an undercarriage should be called "glider (sailplane)" but this could also be reached by a redirect from Glider. The disambiguation page was a minor consideration at the time. There was also an agreement that the generic aviation meanings of glider should be in an article called Glider aircraft and there would be a further article called Unpowered aircraft that also covered kites and balloons.
I hope that puts the changes that I made in context, but I am happy to discuss this matter further. If you are planning to get back to the situation of 15 months ago, I think you can expect opposition from Wolfkeeper. JMcC ( talk) 19:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
I am still mystified why my edit required a warning on my user page about being counter-productive. To my mind this is a polite way of saying I am close to being a vandal. When I finished editing, there was a sentence: " Glider (sailplane), a recreational aircraft with an undercarriage that is primarily intended for unpowered flight and which is used in the sport of gliding". (There wasn't a sentence there before at all.) The only change in later edits is that it has been shortened to: "Glider (sailplane), a type of glider aircraft used in the sport of gliding". This does not seem to be a correction of a counter-productive edit. It is merely the shortening of a sentence that I added. Editing is what Wikipedia is all about. Granted it is shorter, but think the loss of a link from the word gliding is a pity and this has been re-instated. Some of the rest of my sentence was because the thing that distinguishes a sailplane from a hang-glider and a paraglider is its undercarriage. Definitions are how you separate the different items on a disambig page. I relaxed about dropping the words "that is primarily intended for unpowered flight and". Long-winded perhaps but hardly counter-productive. JMcC ( talk) 09:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

00:34, 31 January 2010 (UTC)Hello,
Thank you for your help and your message regarding the "Redirect" from Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity to Habitat for Humanity International: as I posted on Ken Gallager's "Talk" page - the intent behind the page was never to create a biased, non-notable, etc. entry. We think it would be worth having a page for the organization but not if it will create a lot of editorial discord... and it was not done by someone as intimate to the organization as implied in some of the discourse on this page.
In any case, I appreciate you taking care of the redirect edit. It's a pity the page caused such disagreements; hopefully the history of the organization can be noted in the future.

Hi Mega. Thanks for letting me know your concerns about Islip. I think you are creating inaccuracies in a good faith attempt to repair disambiguations and I think that you may not understand the concept of towns as they apply to the Northeast/New England. Towns are a jurisdiction subset of a county and there can be cities/villages/unincorporated areas within a town. Towns are usually the dominant form of government in non-major city locations. Your changing Islip to an individual hamlet is thus inaccurate. When the author wrote the material they could be referring to anywhere within the broad town. This is particularly true on ownership of such major things as MacArthur Airport. If you were going to change it to the biggest common denominator it would be the town.

Thanks for the detailed reasoning. However, I still disagree with your position: Abdul Khaliq is a disambiguation page, so it's appropriate to have a (disambiguation) title that redirects to it. You'll note that db-disambig is a G6 speedy deletion, for routine and uncontroversial cleanup: it's hardly appropriate for me to delete something as uncontroversial when I see such a deletion as contrary to policy. Moreover, I see the existence of such a redirect as helpful to the encyclopedia; I have no IAR reason to delete without regard to policy. If you believe that it's inappropriate to have a page entitled (disambiguation) redirecting to a disambiguation page, please take it to WP:RFD — any redirect can always go there.

WP:D,
WP:MOSDAB and
WP:3D. Sorry to be short, but I feel this has all been discussed before, we will never agree but the consensus is as documented in these places and I believe supports the changes I made.

Since we will clearly never agree, I suggest you post links in suitable wikiprojects to get other interested editors and determine

...for re-redirecting those asteroid articles to the chart. It seems Wikipedia has some notablity standards after all! Chrisrus ( talk) 05:55, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
This regards the pages Adela, Adela (name) and Adela (disambiguation). I decided to make some edits to these pages, based on the observation that another editor had redirected Adela (name) to Adela effectively merging a name page and a disambiguation page, losing information and against WP:D (in my view). My edits were [6] (a revert), [7] (a merge with a suitable edit history), [8] (the other half of the merge) and [9]. JohnCengiz77 ( talk · contribs) then made these edits [10] [11] [12]. These swapped Adela from being a DAB - which it had been since [ creation] - to a name page with the content moved from Adela (name), without proper edit histories to preserve attribution. Adela (disambiguation) suddenly became the DAB page (it had always been a redirect) and Adela (name) became a redirect. Since three pages had effectively had their contents rotated, I saw this as a cut-and-paste move and reverted accordingly, warning the user. He disagrees and in reverting accused me of cut-and-paste moves(!) in an edit history [13].
I am happy to assume that JohnCengiz77 is acting in good faith. Something seems to have gone wrong however. I think I need an independent set of eyes for a dispassionate view before I proceed.
My questions are:
I don't actually mind too much right now about which page is at Adela; if I think it's the wrong one at the end, WP:RM is the appropriate forum. I just want to understand what edits if any were incorrect so that I can act correctly in the future, and proceed appropriately now so that attibution is preserved.
Many thanks,

I reverted this edit to John Smith (Cavalier), for two reasons.
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ( see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 03:07, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Your changing Islip to an individual hamlet is thus inaccurate. When the author wrote the material they could be referring to anywhere within the broad town. This is particularly true on ownership of such major things as MacArthur Airport. If you were going to change it to the biggest common denominator it would be the town.

Darwen Reporter is not an inappropriate link. This website is a non commercial website run for the benefit of the community by a qualified journalist.

Hi. You posted some useful comments on the Talk:Muscle page. There is a (small) discussion currently under way about how to update the page. If you are still interested your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! QuietJohn ( talk) 19:34, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I've merged the article Gliders (Elfquest) into Elfquest and List_of_Elfquest_characters. Blackash have a chat 14:44, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Now that I can tell you, without the risk of canvassing, I reopened the discussion on whether or not the Avatar definition was the primary topic for the term. This time, people saw things our way. It is amazing what a little time can do. Figured I'd let you know. Oldag07 ( talk) 21:02, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the detailed reasoning. However, I still disagree with your position: Abdul Khaliq is a disambiguation page, so it's appropriate to have a (disambiguation) title that redirects to it. You'll note that db-disambig is a G6 speedy deletion, for routine and uncontroversial cleanup: it's hardly appropriate for me to delete something as uncontroversial when I see such a deletion as contrary to policy. Moreover, I see the existence of such a redirect as helpful to the encyclopedia; I have no IAR reason to delete without regard to policy. If you believe that it's inappropriate to have a page entitled (disambiguation) redirecting to a disambiguation page, please take it to WP:RFD — any redirect can always go there.

You have made a lot of changes to Abdur Rahim (disambiguation) and Abdur Rahim. Could you explain, please? SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 23:37, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
:Sure. Please see
User talk:SamuelTheGhost#Your merge of Abdul Halim and Abdul Halim (name),
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation/Archive 26#Redirects from (disambiguation) to non-dab pages.
WP:D,
WP:MOSDAB and
WP:3D. Sorry to be short, but I feel this has all been discussed before, we will never agree but the consensus is as documented in these places and I believe supports the changes I made. If you don't like my changes for any reason, please start a discussion on the talk page. Since we will clearly never agree, I suggest you post links in suitable wikiprojects to get other interested editors and determine
consensus. Thank you. --

...for re-redirecting those asteroid articles to the chart. It seems Wikipedia has some notablity standards after all! Chrisrus ( talk) 05:55, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
This regards the pages Adela, Adela (name) and Adela (disambiguation). I decided to make some edits to these pages, based on the observation that another editor had redirected Adela (name) to Adela effectively merging a name page and a disambiguation page, losing information and against WP:D (in my view). My edits were [6] (a revert), [7] (a merge with a suitable edit history), [8] (the other half of the merge) and [9]. JohnCengiz77 ( talk · contribs) then made these edits [10] [11] [12]. These swapped Adela from being a DAB - which it had been since [ creation] - to a name page with the content moved from Adela (name), without proper edit histories to preserve attribution. Adela (disambiguation) suddenly became the DAB page (it had always been a redirect) and Adela (name) became a redirect. Since three pages had effectively had their contents rotated, I saw this as a cut-and-paste move and reverted accordingly, warning the user. He disagrees and in reverting accused me of cut-and-paste moves(!) in an edit history [13].
I am happy to assume that JohnCengiz77 is acting in good faith. Something seems to have gone wrong however. I think I need an independent set of eyes for a dispassionate view before I proceed.
My questions are:
I don't actually mind too much right now about which page is at Adela; if I think it's the wrong one at the end, WP:RM is the appropriate forum. I just want to understand what edits if any were incorrect so that I can act correctly in the future, and proceed appropriately now so that attibution is preserved.
Many thanks,
-- MegaSloth ( talk) 21:51, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for the typo fixes in Fluorine. I am putting new content in there and know I am introducing new errors, but it will be all for the good when we are done!

Hi. When you recently edited Tae-ji Choi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jung-gu ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

An editor has removed your proposed deletion apparently in good faith; I would move it to AfD but I'm lazy. If you start one, I would likely be in favor of deletion. (No, this is not WP:CANVASSing.) ⁓ Hello 71 01:14, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
To the question of unreliable sources. The article citation directly references an objective fact that the game in question was released for the system mentioned. GameFaqs objectively states this information and is the best source for it. How could I make this more reliable?
As to the question of notability. I see numerous other games listed on List_of_games_for_the_original_Game_Boy that use the same sources. What do those articles have that Banishing Racer does not to make them notable? Tfinc ( talk) 22:24, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

I reverted this edit to John Smith (Cavalier), for two reasons.
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ( see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 03:07, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Light bulb (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
