redlinks
[edit]See mos:dab#Red links A link to a non-existent article (a "red link") should only be included on a disambiguation page when another article also includes that red link ... thus there is only one 'correct' line on this page which must therefore be redirected to it. There is nothing to disambiguate until other articles are written. Abtract (talk) 08:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- I am wondering whether you checked the red links in this page. Both Qi County, Hebi and Qi County, Shanxi have incoming links. In other words, some other articles DO have those red links. Your edit will be reverted. Thank you for your understanding. --Neo-Jay (talk) 09:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- It is not enough that they have incoming links, the dab page must lead to an actual article containing a redlink so that there is something to disambiguate. If you want them in, so the work. :) Abtract (talk) 09:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Why not enough? mos:dab#Red links only requires that another article also includes that red link. It does not require the dab page must lead to an actual article containing the red link. --Neo-Jay (talk) 09:28, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Now Jinzhong has the red link to Qi County, Shanxi, and Hebi has the red link to Qi County, Hebi. Even your imposed standard is met. Satisfied? --Neo-Jay (talk) 09:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- They are not my standards but mos:dab. :) Abtract (talk) 09:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- I read it. It does not require what you said. Please try to read them carefully. --Neo-Jay (talk) 09:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- I will, I promise. Abtract (talk) 10:06, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks.--Neo-Jay (talk) 10:23, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Read (carefully) further into mos:dab#Red links where it says Red links should not be the only link in a given entry; link also to an existing article, so that a reader (as opposed to a contributing editor) will have somewhere to navigate to for additional information :) Abtract (talk) 11:18, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Of course I had read it. Their entries already have Hebi and Shanxi. And the red links apparently are not the only link in their entries. What's the purpose for you to point out this issue?? --Neo-Jay (talk) 11:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes now they do, well done. Abtract (talk) 13:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Actually they had done even before you edited this article. What's your point? --Neo-Jay (talk) 14:05, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't have a "point" but you seem to have a misplaced point. I remind you of this above Now Jinzhong has the red link to Qi County, Shanxi, and Hebi has the red link to Qi County, Hebi. Even your imposed standard is met. Satisfied? --Neo-Jay (talk) 09:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC) .... They are not my standards but mos:dab. :) Abtract (talk) 09:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC) .... I read it. It does not require what you said. Please try to read them carefully. --Neo-Jay (talk) 09:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
First, words like "Satisfied?" and "Please try to read them carefully" are not conducive to good relations; second, You are wrong: there was no mention of Qi County, Shanxi in the Shanxi article and still isn't - now you have added the link to Jinzhong all is well - there was no link to Qi County, Hebi in the Hebi article until you added it after my edit to this page.
So, please be careful with the truth when attempting to criticise me. My original edit was correct and well supported by mos:dab. I have no desire to score points off you but please do not impune my work here. Abtract (talk) 14:48, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Look, the mos:dab#Red links only requires to link also to an existing article and does not require to link to the existing articles that have the red links. It's enough for me to link to Shanxi and Hebi even if they do not have red link to Qi County, Shanxi and Qi County, Hebi. It seems to me that you keep imposing your own standard that mos:dab does not mention at all. mos:dab gives a clear example: "Flibbygibby (architecture), a flamingo motif used on cornices". And cornices does not have any red link to Flibbygibby (architecture). Your original edit was not well supported by mos:dab. Thanks for your understanding. --Neo-Jay (talk) 15:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Have it your way. :) Abtract (talk) 15:29, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. And it's not only my way. It's also mos:dab's way. Best wishes. Have a nice day. --Neo-Jay (talk) 15:36, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- You will learn. Abtract (talk) 15:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
