Disambiguation[edit]

How do I create an entry with the same name as another, so that it appears on a disambiguation page? Victor Canning used the pen name Alan Gould, and I would like to make a page for that name. However, there is a Canadian poet called Alan Gould with an extensive entry already.

The most common way to do this is by appending the profession of the other person to the entry name. For example, for the situation above, you could create a new entry such as [[Alan Gould (author)]]. Then at the top of the main Alan Gould article, you could place a small tag, indicating that there is another Alan Gould that readers may be searching for. For example, you could use:

{{otheruses4|an Australian poet|the works of Victor Canning under the pseudonym of Alan Gould|Alan Gould (author)}}

which would render as:

But creating a disambiguation page is another matter, and it doesn't happen automatically. If you want to know how to do this, see this Wikipedia page.

More advice:

Sign your posts (but not edits to articles), even on your own talk page, with 4 tildes (~~~~). The Wikipedia software automagically adds your name and a timestamp when you do that. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 12:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vanishing Point (novel)[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Vanishing Point (novel), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/wordscape/canning/vanishing.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 21:18, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tim Johns (November 10)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This is not written like a WP article but like a person tribute. Articles about academics have

1/ basic biographyi--brithplace, schooling, degrees, appointments, with years and dates. 2/ then a description of what he is best known for, referenced to good third party sources. Just describe. Omit phrases of praise, omit minor work, omit side issues. 3/Then a list of awards and honours, and pmajor professional service 4/Then a biography of books published, with references to published reviews. If there are any particularly important articles list them, with evidence of their importance, such as citation figures. Omit minor published work.

You have the material for part 2, if you remove details about organizations he founder , but never cite Wikipedia--just link to our article. You do not have to describe the topic if its described in the linked article.

Aim for conciseness. Replace most of the uses of his name with "He" or the equivalent.

I can help you with all this if you ask on my user talk page--academic biographies are my specialty here. DGG ( talk ) 06:45, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
