I listed the "Caves in XXX" to "Caves of XXX" in the speedy renaming section of Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion. It'll take 48 hours to see if anyone objects, but there shouldn't be any problems because the proposal follows the guidelines in Naming conventions (categories). --NormanEinstein 19:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Undoing a disambiguation[edit]

Hello. You recently undid a disambiguation to Ipoh. Your revert re-included a links to the page British, which is a disambiguation page. This type of page is intended to direct users to more specific topics. Ordinarily we try to avoid creating links to disambiguation pages, since it is preferable to link directly to the specific topic relevant to the context. You can help Wikipedia by revising the links to refer directly to the most relevant topic such as such as United Kingdom or Great Britain by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

Notice that the term British is used in the text, but it does not link to the article British. Ideally nothing should be linked to British since it is a disambiguation page; disambiguation pages are meant to lead readers to one of many different articles which have similar names. When a page links to a disambiguation page, we should strive to correct the link to instead go to the right link directly. In the case of adjectives for countries such as British and German, the link is usually to the country, i.e. United Kingdom and Germany. Regards, -- Jeff3000 14:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you understand still. The only word that would appear was still the word British, and it would only link to the United Kingdom article; the word United Kingdom would not appear on the page. And the word British does actually include people from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (which are all part of the United Kingdom), and sometimes people from the Republic of Ireland. If you only want people from England, the adjective to use is English. -- Jeff3000 01:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
