Disambiguation link notification for August 21[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Refugees of the Syrian Civil War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2015 Paris attacks. 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.

spillover of the Syrian Civil War[edit]

I removed quite a few edits in which you had added spillover of the Syrian Civil War to European terrorism articles. While in a literal sense, many of these incidents may be 'spillover', the linked article is specifically about events in the Middle-East: "The spillover of the Syrian Civil War is the impact of the Syrian Civil War in the Arab world". There are plenty of links within these articles pointing to 'Islamism'/ISIL/Syrian Civil War' etc as apt so I did not see the reason for linking to a very indirectly connected subject.

No problem, in a literal sense you may have been right. The edits I did left the 'Wave of terror' link.Pincrete (talk) 13:34, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And by the way some articles need further clarification and understanding. These include Spillover of the Syrian Civil War and 2016 Movida Bar grenade attack since these articles are totally outside the spillover conflict as well. --cyrfaw (talk) 13:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
