(talk page watcher) @Hhgygy "What article"? The blue-linked Oklahoma City in the entry being reverted. If the Las Vegas district isn't mentioned in that article, there's nothing to offer our reader so it doesn't belong in the disambiguation page. If you have reliably sourced info about the district, add it to the article on the city and reinstate the dab page entry.

Please stop deleting relevant content without valid reason. I'm referring to specifically to the Medina_(disambiguation) page.

You reverted my changes, and I improved the content, but you reverted again. In both cases without stating a valid reason. People searching for this music is likely to end up on this page.

Fehérlófia has been a redirect to Son of the White Mare since 2015. There is no good reason for the version without diacritics to be different. And in fact I did explain this in my edit summary: Should be same as Fehérlófia -- if the folk tale article needs to be renamed, please use WP:RM. The edit summary you mention on Son of the White Mare questioned why you removed a perfectly valid hatnote, since as I said before, Fehérlófia has been a redirect to Son of the White Mare since 2015.

The standard title for a given name article is Name (given name) since the word itself can refer to a number of other things besides the name.

No, these articles follow standard naming conventions in that a parenthetical phrase is not automatically appended.

This is unduly confusing considering the number of other things that might have the name or might have the name in the future such as a single-named performer or an organization or painting, etc. The standard title Name (given name) clarifies that the topic is tge history and usage of tge name.

(talk page watcher) @Bookworm857158367 If you think that either name is not the Primary Topic ( which could well be argued, with places, ships, etc), you could propose, for each, a not-uncontroversial multiple move of the disambiguation page to the basename and the given name page to the disambiguation name, as set out at WP:Requested moves.

I’d argue that the name pages aren’t actually disambiguation names but are properly articles about the meaning, history and usage of the name itself. They have significance in and of themselves.

Back in 2004-2008, when I was an active contributor, and I'd see someone make a change that was useful, but required some extra work to make it comply with the rules, I would do that work for them, rather than reverting the change.

It appears things have changed in the last 20 years. Feel free to edit the neck gaiter article to describe how it can be referred to as a "buff". Here are some sources (usage is colloquial, hasn't quite made it into the Macquarie Dictionary yet). I'm going to log out for another decade or so.

What was the reason for the revert? Also, Chime is a prominent DJ, albeit without a wikipedia page yet, I thought this should suffice in the meantime.

@Bkonrad Respected sir,

Many thanks for reverting my tag on the above page. Since I am a beginner, I would like to know why. So I do not make the same mistake again.

I am sure, that "CML" is a well-known and accepted abbreviation of "Classic metaphyseal lesions". I can support this statement with several authentic references. But last time when I did it [on some other disambiguation page], the tag was reverted, and when requested to educate me, the answer was that "no references are allowed on Disambiguation pages."

So I am -kind of - in a bind. If I put an authentic reference, the tag is reverted, because it is not allowed. If I do not put such a reference, the tag is reverted [for the supposed reason], that it is an unacceptable abbreviation.

So what should a beginner do?

Kindly enlighten and oblige. Thanks.

Anil1956, your edit did not link to any existing article. The sole purpose of disambiguation pages is to help readers find articles with content relevant for an ambiguous topic. Please review WP:disambiguation and WP:MOSDAB (or see WP:DDD for a very brief summary). older ≠ wiser 17:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I noticed you removed my {{db-g7}} from TACL (disambiguation). You left the edit note Perfectly fine redirect. But I don't see why anyone would link to TACL (disambiguation) if they mean to link to a disambiguation for TACL when TACL is itself already a disambiguation. I only created the page in the first place because TACL was previously not a dab, but rather contained the contents of TACL (programming language), which has since been moved to that page. Could you clarify your reasoning?

Hello, first of all, thank you for being such an active contributor. I would like to expand some pages with relevant and meaningful contemporary (or non-contemporary) art projects, which is my specialty as a curator. I believe it's important to include this section to provide a comprehensive view of how artists are contributing to our society, addressing various subjects, and presenting their proposals.(maybe only five Maybe I haven't proposed, titled, or written it well? Thank you for letting me know. Perhaps a selection of 5 is enough so as not to dilute the original meaning of the word? Nonetheless, I still believe it's important to discuss today's artists who are already published and active in society, in order to offer visitors the opportunity to discover how the subject is being addressed by artists in a rapidly changing world.

(talk page watcher) @Vidya-Kélie If The Sun in art or perhaps Sun in art is a topic on which other people have already published material in Reliable independent published sources, then it could perhaps be either a new article or a section within The Sun in culture; we already have Sun in fiction too. But it's not appropriate to try to develop this as a subject within the Sun (disambiguation). And, incidentally, when you add a section heading you don't need to bold it, the system will format it appropriately automatically.

First, you should not move pages by cutting and pasting the content. That is rarely appropriate as it makes a hash of the edit history. All of the entities on Running Water are titles which is it is the disambiguation page rather than Running water (disambiguation). You need to provide rationale and establish consensus for why the title case page should redirect to tap water.

Yeah, ANI is not for content disputes.

(talk page watcher) @CoffeeCrumbs@Mussharraf Hossen Shoikot "Running water" to me means flowing water, as in a river or a stream: Google it and the first many hits are for audio or video of soothing flowing water. I don't know whether there's anything in Wikipedia about that, but certainly "running water(s)" contrasted to "standing water(s)" is an ecological habitat term (waterside plants etc), and I've now added that to the dab page.

I'm also not sure whether "running water" has to be "tap water": if a house has a pump in its back yard, do the residents have "running water"? They certainly have "piped water", and it's a massive improvement on having to fetch water from a communal pump or a remote waterhole.

Yes, I'm not sure tap water is the best primary target for running water. But that is a different discussion I think. As for the current disambiguation, all of the entries other than the primary topic redirect are titles and so I think that until there is consensus that there is no primary topic, the dab page should be at Running Water.

A tag has been placed on List of places named Sokil requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

My edits conceptually clarified multiple topics which were conflated as listed above. It sounds like the definitions used may not have agreed with your notions. It's a shame since the article is in dire need of help from an expert. I explicitly identified multiple definitions of the term 'root', specifically identified at least one theory for one of the definitions, cited a highly cited Max Plank researcher, and distinguished concatenative root from non-concatenative roots (Semitic). It doesn't stand that my edits made it confusing and you still haven't provided an explanation or a reasonable argument with any evidence.

Then edit them rather than revert them, or add additional tags or templates for someone who can do so. These sound like personal feelings.

Compare the pages on Distributed Morphology and Exoskeletal Model. These are highly specialized and may be technical. By that reasoning, these would be removed. All Linguistics pages are more specialized than for a 'generalist audience'. A reminder that the Simple English Wikipedia exists for a reason.

You lowered the quality of the article and reverted text in the style of a "personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay" and "original argument about a topic" which had been removed.

Hello, I have a question concerning disambiguation pages. You changed my edit at Swingle and you seem to be or are a Wikipedia editor that is familiar with many of the rules.

At Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages, it says: "If a topic does not have an article of its own, but is discussed within another article, then a link to that article may be included if it would provide value to the reader. In this case, the link may not start the line (unless it has a redirect that is devoted to it), but it should still be the only blue wikilink. For example:

Maggie Anderson may also refer to:

• Maggie Anderson, a character in the musical play Brigadoon

It is often useful to link to the relevant section of the target page using anchors and conceal that by making it a piped link. For examples, see § Where piping may be appropriate, above.

If the topic is not mentioned in the other article, that article should not be linked to in the disambiguation page, since linking to it would not help readers find information about the sought topic."

So, can I have redirects to other Governing Body members (like the link at the Swingle redirect article to Brother Lyman Alexander Swingle) that don't have their own article? Can or should I share other examples? Junkönig (talk) 16:31, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240623163100","author":"Junk\u00f6nig","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Junk\u00f6nig-20240623163100-Disambiguation_pages","replies":["c-Bkonrad-20240623164600-Junk\u00f6nig-20240623163100"]}}-->

Yes, that is possible, although I'm not a big fans of redirects for names of entities that are unlikely to ever have their own articles, or at least some substantive relevant content within an article beyond merely being mentioned in a list. Lyman Alexander Swingle was a previously existing redirect that seems to have been created as a blank and redirect or some poorly sourced content. In that case, there is at least some potential that the old content might be restored and updated with better sourcing.

Hi Bkonrad,

In regards to recent edits, I've read that most Indonesian people don't really have surnames (Indonesian_names#Naming_forms) so I was leaving surname off intentionally and just linking Indonesian name in the leads of those.

Then use {{given name}}. Although I think {{surname}} would also apply to family/clan names and patronymic names. Better place to ask would be WP:WikiProject Anthroponymy or WP:WikiProject Indonesia.

Hi, I noticed that you've reverted my edit on SSMB for being an "undiscussed change", so I'm conflicted on whether to create a talk page discussion or set it up as an AFD because:

• As I stated in the original edit reason, I don't think there's any plausible reason for being an acronym for Super Smash Bros. Melee beyond being just a misspelling of SSBM. The page was originally created as a redirect to SSBM which itself a redirect to that game's article and was subsequently have double redirect fixed, but otherwise neither the article made any mention to, nor are there any sources for SSMB being an actual acronym for that game.
• I initially thought Mahesh Babu would be the most suitable redirect for this, but then I realized after your revert that SSMB was actually used in conjunction with the sequential number of films he starred, and that acronym was not actually mentioned anywhere in the article. In fact, there was a brief conflict on whether this should have redirecting changed to that article or not, before someone decided to make it a disambiguation instead.
• The third entry, besides grammatical errors, is a violation of MOS:DABNOLINK. Though if the subject is notable enough to warrant an article or redirect to a relevant subject then it may be a suitable replacement.

I'd like to hear your input on this, thanks in advance.

Since you've decided to ignore my message for a week, but then proceeded to respond to a couple of recent messages within minutes they were being sent, I've decided that I should be putting that disambiguation for AfD later today once I made completely sure that it is of no use (i.e. no mention of any of the entries on other articles).

Sorry, sometimes I'm editing on mobile device on which it is difficult to write more that a few words at a time (that usually get mangled by autocorrect). Then I may forget about earlier messages when I'm back on my laptop. I've no strong opinion about SSMB, I initially had not even noticed the misspelling. But PamD has added another valid entry. I would be somewhat surprised if an actor mostly unknown outside of India and the Indian diaspora were the primary topic for an arbitrary string of letters. I suspect some other uses can be found. For example, several science articles mention the Swiss Society for Matrix Biology (https://www.ssmb.ch/) as a reference, although unfortunately there is no article at present. older ≠ wiser 19:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240722190800","author":"Bkonrad","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Bkonrad-20240722190800-NotCory-20240722173900","replies":[],"displayName":"older"}}-->

Hello Bkonrad, you removed twice a redlink, though the article is question is linked in another (non-disambiguation) article. Why do you think, that Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Disambiguation_pages#Red_links does not apply here?

As you write above, you are no big fan of redlinks to articles that are unlikely to ever be written. I totally agree with that.

So, use that source to add some mention of Las Vegas to Oklahoma City or perhaps to Neighborhoods of Oklahoma City, and then re-add the district to Las Vegas (disambiguation) with a blue link to that page. Or create a "redirect" from Las Vegas, Oklahoma City to the page where it is mentioned, then list that redirect on the disambiguation page.

In the case of Lamberghini, the song title was a deliberate misspelling of the car marque. Lazer, Hautes-Alpes is a place, not a misspelling of an energy beam, even if the other entries on the dab page may be deliberate variations of the beam.

Hi there, an amateur Wikipedia editor with a background of Bayonetta player. Now, I have seen that Cheshire is not only a county in England, but also a character from that game since I start playing it, most recently Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. I'm trying to add this thing in a 'Cheshire (disambiguation)' page to take note of it, but it is a failure due to the Wikipedia article 'Bayonetta' doesn't have a word 'Cheshire'.

I have spent quite a few moments to figure this out, but I find only one article has that word, i.e. Bayonetta (character) with that paragraph with Chesire in bold character,

In Cereza and the Lost Demon, Bayonetta's origin story was revealed six hundred years before the great Witch Hunts caused by Aesir. During her time training under Morgana, an exiled Umbra Witch, Cereza frequently experiences a dream that tells her of Avalon Forest, the home of the enigmatic soul-stealing Faeries that she has been strictly warned by her teacher not to venture into at any point. However, one such dream differs from the others and she sees the vision of a mysterious boy telling her to go into the forest to find a way to save her. One night, Cereza is allowed to try summoning her first Infernal Demon using a special brace provided by Morgana. However, the inexperienced witch cannot control the summon using her hair as a conduit properly and is nearly attacked before the demon dissipates. Though desperate to try again, Morgana comments that Cereza is not allowed due her failure and still needs to train harder. Disheartened, but remembering the words of the boy in her dream, Cereza decides to ignore Morgana's warnings and go into Avalon to become strong and save her mother. Taking the brace with her, the girl leaves that same night. Cereza's bravado is eventually whittled away the further she travels into the forest before she is suddenly attacked by Fairies. Knowing that she is no match for them on her own, she attempts to try the spell she had previously failed and summon a demon. Though she is able to complete the summoning, her inexperience with using her hair as a medium causes her to accidentally bind the demon to her stuffed cat. The demon is furious at this confinement and attempts to flee in order to find a way back to Inferno, but quickly discovers that the summoning drains him of his strength and power the further away he is from Cereza. Realizing her mistake, Cereza promises to find a way to send the demon back home if he accompanies her through Avalon to help her find the power she seeks. With no other choice, the nameless demon begrudgingly agrees, with Cereza christening him with the name "Cheshire" after the stuffed cat he inhabits. The two continue went on an adventure, following the tracks of a white wolf whilst conquering the dangerous creatures that lurk in the forest and destroying the four Elemental Cores hidden deep within the forest, where Cereza discovers confidence she never thought she had in herself and gradually overcomes her timid nature, while Cheshire's stubborn attitude eventually begins to soften as he looks at Cereza in a new angle. Suddenly, a faerie tries to lure Cereza into its grasp by disguising itself as her mother. Realizing this, Cheshire destroys the illusion, but Cereza's grief over her mother causes her and Cheshire to argue, deciding to part ways. Later, after seeing him captured, Cereza, concerned, swallows her pride and, with the wolf's help, ventures into the faeries' castle, rescues and makes up with Cheshire, and the two work together to defeat the faeries' ruler, Púca. Soon, the two reach the deepest part of the forest, where the boy Cereza saw in her dreams, named Lukaon, explains that, like Cereza, he was cursed for being the half-blood son of a faerie and a witch. Cereza sympathetically agrees to help him, but grows torn when Lukaon explains that he needs a demon's essence to free himself from the curse. Refusing to put her friend in harm's way, Cereza refuses to give up Cheshire, but Lukaon decides to rely on force and use Cheshire to rid himself of the curse. Luckily, Cereza manages to rescue the demon, though Lukaon steals the elemental powers Cheshire gained from the Cores. The two combine their strength and engage Lukaon in battle, take back the elemental powers, and defeat him. However, soon after, Púca returns for payback, amassing his faerie army for cavalry. Cheshire, carrying the weakened Lukaon, and Cereza narrowly escape the forest before being saved by Morgana, who discovers the boy, but instead of saving him, she angrily turns to Cereza and Cheshire, revealing herself to be Lukaon's long-lost mother, as well as sending other failed Umbran disciples before Cereza to retrieve Lukaon from the forest, unleashing her magical power upon them to avenge her son. At first feeling doubtful of her abilities to combat her mentor, some words of encouragement from to fight on, manifesting the Witch Time to take Morgana by surprise and defeat her, destroying her Umbran Watch and knocking her soul from her body. After tearfully bidding farewell to Lukaon, Morgana's soul is dragged down into Inferno--a fate that eventually befalls every Umbra Witch--and Cereza and Cheshire share a farewell of their own before Cheshire uses the portal made from Inferno's denizens and returns home. Cereza, after her mother wishes her luck in a dream, leaves home the next day to find her next adventure.

Besides, I have prepared two URLs about this character,

https://bayonetta.fandom.com/wiki/Cheshire_(demon)

https://bayonetta.fandom.com/wiki/Cheshire_(doll)

Up to that point, my vital question is

1. With the aid of 2 URLs, is it possible to link a paragraph that I've shown you without any references when taking this note I'm anticipating in this disambiguation page?

Anyways, huge congratulations for reciving The Original Barnstar back in January 2024. Keep up your good work!

Hello! Spotted that you reverted my addition to Z_Cam disambiguation page. The trailing punctuation is probably MOS:DABPERIOD, right? – okay, I get it, thanks, even though I personally used to different writing styles, but now I know the Wiki style.

But what to do with the cameras? I definitely don't plan to write a big full-fledged article on “cinema Z CAM” – but that's a completely different brand from “3DV time-of-flight ZCam”, and it's very confusing: even the heading of the ZCam article mentions, “Not to be confused with Z CAM, an imaging technology brand popular for cinema cameras and VR photography.”

So, there are two things named "z-came-like", one is a technology lost in 2000s, one is an alive-and-breathing Chinese brand arguably known in the cinema-filming niche (if one knows the names like Blackmagic, Arri or Sony Venice/Burano, they probably have heard of Z CAM too), we have the article for the former but not for the latter. So any person looking for some links on the cinema brand... will find basically nothing. Not even a DAB mention.

What's your view on this? Do you think that adding at least some stub page for the “cinema Z CAM” would be sufficient to get it disambiguated?

Though personally I think that the wording of MOS:DABNOLINK does not prevent making the entries with no links. Yes, “An entry without a blue link is useless for further navigation” – indeed, but there is no further navigation (yet). So even though it’s “useless for further navigation”... but very useful to resolve the disambiguity.

Fun fact I just realized: of the two, or three (candidate) entries for the disambiguation page called "z cam", there is only one of them which is really spelled exactly this way (rather that spelled together, or being a shortening), and this one is actually missing from the dab page now :) Honeyman (talk) 17:46, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240910174600","author":"Honeyman","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Honeyman-20240910174600-Honeyman-20240910174100","replies":[]}}-->

Regarding MOS:DABNOLINK, disambiguation pages are a navigational aide. As such, entries with no navigable link have no purpose on a disambiguation page. References and external links are not allowed on disambiguation pages and without an existing article to support an entry, the entry cannot be verifiable (i.e., although your entry may have some basis in reality, without the requirement that an existing article support the entry, vandals could easily add nonsense entries that would be difficult to detect).

Regarding a stub, I've no opinion. It would need to meet whatever the current criteria are for stub creation regarding verifiability and notability. It there is some other existing article that mentions the term, that might also serve as a target. older ≠ wiser 18:33, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240910183300","author":"Bkonrad","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Bkonrad-20240910183300-Honeyman-20240910174100","replies":["c-Honeyman-20240910192200-Bkonrad-20240910183300"],"displayName":"older"}}-->

There are many songs titled "Grace" You cannot simply add content to the redirect. 1) the content doesn't actually display for most users and 2) it is not the right place to draft an article. If you look at the other songs listed at Grace#Songs, you can see how a properly disambiguated title is constructed. In your case, it would likely be something like Grace (Séan and Frank o' Méara), although considering that there is no article for Séan and Frank o' Méara or Séan o' Méara or Frank o' Méara, it is very doubtful the song would survive deletion based on WP:NSONG. If you want to pursue this, I'd suggest starting with a draft at Draft:Grace (Séan and Frank o' Méara) and get feedback from reviewers rather creating the article directly and having it get deleted. older ≠ wiser 19:38, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240920193800","author":"Bkonrad","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Bkonrad-20240920193800-WikipedianAncientHistorian-20240920192300","replies":["c-PamD-20240920205600-Bkonrad-20240920193800","c-WikipedianAncientHistorian-20240921111200-Bkonrad-20240920193800"],"displayName":"older"}}-->

I note that the song is already listed in Grace#Songs, as ""Grace", an Irish ballad about Grace Gifford", and the section Grace Gifford#Cultural depictions is mostly about the song. There's also the complication that "Xyz (Abc song)" usually refers to a song performed, rather than written, by Abc (as in Grace (Miss Kittin song)). So I'm not sure what would be the best title for an article on this song.

But the song gets a mention in quite a few wikipedia articles, mostly track listings such as You'll Never Beat the Irish, 50 Years, Live from the Gaiety, Blood Red Roses (which linked to the wrong Frank O'Meara until I fixed it) but also Jim McCann (musician) and List of songs about Dublin.

@Bkonrad @WikipedianAncientHistorian OK, I fell down the rabbit-hole (quiet Saturday afternoon, got a bad cold so not going out anywhere) and we now have Grace (Jim McCann song) as he seems to have been the first to record it (and was 33 weeks in the charts with it). I know nothing about writing about songs, and it's getting perilously near to the danger-zone of Irish history, but I hope it's OK, or at least a good start to which more could be carefully added. I've adjusted its entry in the dab page.

And made redirects from Seán O'Meara (songwriter) and Frank O'Meara (songwriter), with entries in List of people with surname O'Meara, and a dab page entry for Sean and a hatnote for Frank. So it goes on! Have also made a redirect from Grace (The Dubliners song) as a likely alternative title. I think that'll do.

@WikipedianAncientHistorian "Local research" doesn't help unless you found reliable independent published sources. The Wikipedia convention is that a song is disambiguated by performer, not songwriter. You don't seem to have shown any sources which spell their surname with the fada over the "e".

Accuracy in spelling matters in Wikipedia, especially for living people's names.

@Bkonrad, since this is on your talk page, an update: I have made a request at WP:RM to move WAH's article on Seán from the incorrect title to over-write the redirect at Seán O'Meara (songwriter) (and improved it somewhat), and have created the missing mirror-image article at Frank O'Meara (songwriter). I doubt that either of them is really notable, but I'll leave it to the system to work that out. All been discussed at great length at Talk:Seán O'Méara.

Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. Would you Please help neutrality RFC to be reopened? Summary: Can an RfC for improving neutrality in a major US presidential election article be reopened after it was hastily closed by a specific user? 1. There were many opinions that the biased article in the US presidential election article should be improved. 2. An RFC for improving neutrality was started, and when opinions for improving neutrality came in, it was hastily closed less than two days after the RFC was created. 3. I would appreciate it if you could help improve Wikipedia articles by reopening the relevant RfC so that the opinions of users who want to address neutrality can be posted.

I don't think so. There were several responses to the RFC and very little if any support.
