Nothing links to this redirect. It is the only page for Poland that says Voivodship_of_xxxxxx for any province. Not to mention the fact that the province name isn't even spelled the official way. Please delete. Ajh1492 ( talk) 23:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Dapper, Edgy, Feisty. Gutsy. and Warty are absolutely senseless redirects. The Ubuntu releases are never referred to by the adjectives alone, but by the full proper names, Dapper Drake, Edgy Eft, etc. Having redirects for the full proper names Warty Warthog, Hoary Hedgehog, etc. is sensible, but for the adjectives alone it is not. It has been argued, truthfully, that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and that it is impractical or even impossible to have trans-wiki links for all dictionary words. However, the fact stands that these are still useless redirects. Someone searching for information about the Dapper Drake version of Ubuntu is going to search for "Dapper Drake", not just Dapper, and users searching for the adjectives alone are probably not looking for information about a Linux-based operating system (see this talk page entry). It has been argued that nothing else of note uses these adjectives. This being the case, the confusing redirects should be deleted altogether instead of misleading the end users.
Users who honestly search for adjective definitions in Wikipedia can quickly learn to use Wikitionary instead. — 71.181.210.51 ( talk) 18:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
