Hi.

Quintuple metre, etc

Hi, I saw your thread on Jerome's page. I think he speaks a lot of sense on this matter. Let me know if you take issue with anything and I'll try to explain further.

Thanks for your editing. Tony (talk) 23:11, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Quintuple meter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Queen. 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.

Proposed deletion of List of Gamemaker games

The article List of Gamemaker games has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Nothing notable about this list of games. No reason for a list.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give AirPod a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 12:12, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

8D

See WP:DAB#oneblue. You need a very good reason to have a second link. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

The reason "it's better for the reader" should be good enough. Nothing is more important than that. Certainly "I've made up a rule and now you have to behave by it" is *not* more important than that. Bonomont (talk) 23:05, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm not making up rules. It's stated not only at WP:DAB, but also at: Template:Disambig editintro (this is the editnotice displayed when you were editing 8D); Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages (shortcut: MOS:DABENTRY); Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts; and last but not least, in the user warning template {{subst:Uw-dab}} - which I could have served to you at the outset. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:59, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

So you don't want to discuss the issue at hand, but instead hide behind some rules. Are you at least *aware* that you are not making the world a better place? Bonomont (talk) 08:42, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I am discussing the issue at hand. How does your edit fit in with established Wikipedia conventions? In what way does it improve the page 8D? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Well, the emoticon "8-D" is not mentioned in the article "Emoticon". It is however mentioned in the article "List of emoticons". So, if we image a random user for a moment, and she is wondering what "8-D" means, and goes to wikipedia and searches for "8-D", she ends up at our discussed page "8D", and if she then clicks through to the Emoticon article, she still doesn't know what it means, which is clearly a big minus, therefore it would be a big win if we could link to List of emoticons, where the actual thing she was searching for is actually explained. But, then again, "8-D" is an emoticon, so our line in the disambig-page would have to start with the text "8-D is an emoticon", and having "emoticon" not linked there would be very bad usability as well, so a link to that page would be good too. Therefore, the best way to solve this is to have a link to both articles. Bonomont (talk) 10:22, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

If 8D or 8-D is not mentioned at Emoticon, that page should not be linked at all. This is covered at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages:

• Include exactly one navigable (blue) link to efficiently guide readers to the most relevant article for that use of the ambiguous term. Do not wikilink any other words in the line.

and clarified at MOS:DABMENTION which says "If a topic does not have an article of its own, but is mentioned within another article, then a link to that article should be included. In this case, the link does not start the line, but it should still be the only blue wikilink." --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Oh, I thought that we were finally at a point where we could talk reasonably with each other, but there you are again, back with your rule-kowtowing, legalese-quoting persona. My argumentation is completely solid. The issue is also not as cut-and-dry as you make it out to be, because in WP:DAB#oneblue it says "Rarely should a bulleted entry have more than one navigable link" - note the word "rarely". Not "never". But like I said, apparently you don't want to discuss the issue at hand, your wish for order and rule-obeying is bigger than the wish of the general population to have a usable, good encyclopedia. So here is what we're gonna do. You can walk away from this now, and leave it with 2 links intact. Or you can continue to insist on your position, and then I will make an example of you, fighting you tooth and nails through the every instance and committee for weeks and months. Which would of course be a terrible waste of all our times, because this is such a minute detail. But I'm happy to do that. You will lose, let me tell you that at the very outset of it. Good luck making your choice. Bonomont (talk) 12:25, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

A page you started (Level 0) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Level 0, Bonomont!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I added a second usage to allow actual disambiguation. In the future, if there is only one definition, a redirect may be the better option. Cheers.

To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.
