Disambiguation necessary?Hi, you changed Pan American Championships to Pan American Racquetball Championships on the Jennifer Saunders entry. Is that really necessary? I mean, it's an entry about a racquetball player, so can't we safely assume that she was playing in a racquetball championship? If it was a soccer player playing in the World Cup, would it have to be the FIFA World Cup? I don't know. Seems a bit much to me and perhaps goes against Strunk and White's dictum to omit needless words. Cheers. Trb333 (talk) 14:00, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of George Finkle
A tag has been placed on George Finkle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

A suggestion; fixup projects have moved on, you know ;) Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Punctuation and one of their child pages, such as [1]. An edit link on your project lists, taking us into the article needing editing in edit mode (and maybe filling in the edit summary with proganda) would help us all. I've put you in the active wiki fixup list, as you'll have seen. --Tagishsimon (talk)
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preferenceHello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled. On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript.

When you removed the old page contents from Viking Hellas, it would have been better to have checked the page history of that page and the redirect target. Upon doing so, you would have seen that this was a cut-and-paste move that needed a history merge. Removing the old text from the redirect just covers up the improper move and makes it harder for others to identify. Sorry if this comes off as critical; I had the same type of message left for me a couple of years ago by another editor, and it has made me more aware of this issue ever since. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 19:19, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Sorry, I thought...Hi. Sorry if my comment on your Boulevard Theatre question was not helpful. I thought you were just another theatre loon, like myself, in search of obscure information on the oldest profession*. I was mistaken...oops. I would think the Sarah Townsend (and I'd bet a dollar on Figge Norling) "Boulevard Theatre" refs should link Soho:Raymond_Revuebar for now. Maybe I'll get crazy someday and create a separate article for the place....or, given the dearth of sources, probably not. * That would of course be theatre...You can't have prostitution without acting:)

Thanks again - Pereirab04 (talk) 01:50, 9 August 2011 (UTC) errors in using convert templatePlease note that {{convert}}, when used to convert kg → lb, requires an extra rounding parameter when used in infoboxes for people, and probably also in many other cases. This is documented in {{Infobox sportsperson}}. I've fixed a few that happen to be on my watchlist, but no doubt a great many more will need fixing also. More generally, the biggest problem with this template is that people use it without appreciating the need to get the rounding right. I suspect there are hundreds, maybe thousands of such errors out there - not a problem I have time to investigate and fix properly at the moment <shudder>. --NSH001 (talk) 23:56, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Redlink fixesThe tool you're using is resolving redlinks in a way that makes the content visible to readers incorrect. Hyphen and en-dash aren't equivalent—they have distinct meanings and in many cases your changes are going from right to wrong. If you think that the hyphenated-form target is correct, then please use a piped link so that the visible text remains the en-dash. In many cases, the hyphenated form is already just a redirect, so may as well pipe the actual page-target instead of switching to hyphenated. Otherwise you could create the en-dashed form as a redirect so that anyone looking for that (correct) name could find the right page. But the whole redlink problem requires some manual consideration, since this one is correct (the use of hyphen).DMacks (talk) 14:45, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
I have reverted and fixed a number of your en dash changes. Please do not do such things if you don't understand what you're doing. Fixing the redlink by breaking the text is a step backwards. Learn more at MOS:DASH. Dicklyon (talk) 20:46, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
How did you decide to make a new redirect here? Have you ever heard of someone with an en dash in their first name? Why make a redirect where it's wrong, but skip it where it would be right? Flipping a coin? Can you fix please? Dicklyon (talk) 04:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC) And here you put an em dash into a person's name! Wacky! Dicklyon (talk) 05:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC) Here I undid 5 bad ones in a row on one article. Pairs of names of different person need an en dash (but two-part names like Lennard-Jones need a hyphen, so be careful).

My family is Brazilian on one side and American (USA) on the other. I've been living in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. on and off again since we moved here when I was in primary school, and while DC is truly a melting pot of people, still few speak Portuguese, and I never attended school to learn to read and write in my primary language-- so much was lost! The other problem is that other than editing the Wikipedia(s) and email, I am completely ignorant as to how to really use the internet. However, I'm happy to help in whatever capacity I can! Perhaps I can learn something new, who knows? :) --Leahtwosaints (talk) 01:08, 1 October 2011 (UTC) Thanks again...Just wanted to say thank you again for the list of disability links - happily working down them and they are making a difference to the project ;) as quick feedback, there's some strange results for things like Article/File links - all of the ogg links that the tool turned up were fine... also as a feature request, would it be possible to generate results without the transclusions?

Speedy deletion nomination of List of microcars by country of origin: XA tag has been placed on List of microcars by country of origin: X requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

BlagoveshchenskyHi there! Just so you know, this isn't right. You are changing the link to the article about the town called "Blagoveshchensk" in the Republic of Bashkortostan, but the red link is to the (not yet written) article about a village called "Blagoveshchensky" in a different part of that republic. I suspect you are working from some automated report, no? If so, please adjust. If it helps, I can create a short stub about the village (but if that's a problem with some automated report, that needs to be addressed as well).

Hi, that wasn't a particularly helpful move—disambiguation pages where there are only topics to disambiguate are little more than clutter, and an inconvenience to 100% of readers looking for an article on a Charles Egerton, rather than the percentage looking for the politician rather than the field marshal. I'm going to put the article on the field marshal back at the original title unless you think the politician is the primary topic and that his article should be at that title. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:37, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
There seems to be a bit of a mess here - over to you. (I stub-sorted the politician, then looked at incoming links and disambiguated the one in 2009 Grand National as Charles Egerton (racehorse trainer), but the more I looked the messier it seemed.) PamD 22:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
The incoming links have now been addressed (except those on people's user pages, but I never feel comfortable to change them). I think the 3 politicians have now been separated out clearly, and the redlink to the horse trainer's been added; I created an article on one of the MPs but there's one still to be done. Well done for unearthing this, TB, hopefully users will be able to find what they're looking for now. Justthe other soldiers to be found, but I didn't have any luck there.
