WP:DPL
[edit]I've seen your valued contributions to WP:DPL, great work! I wish I discovered the project as a new user as you did. I was kind of hoping that you could you the edit summary "disambiguation link repair ([[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|You can help!]])" in your many edits, it's how I got recruited. By the way, how did you come across the link repair project?--Commander Keane 17:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- I've made a discussion at WP:DPL, looks like Classical music is a good idea.--Commander Keane 16:16, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks for the teamwork on mine. Two heads are better than one. --PTSE 18:06, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
Francisco Luna Kan
[edit]I reverted your recent edit of Francisco Luna Kan, as Yucatán is not part of the United States of America. -- Infrogmation 15:36, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
- Link corrected, thanks for the heads up! Posted a reply on your page Thaagenson 16:34, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Modern language <- Modern Languages move
[edit]This move should probably have been done with the "move" function (get a admin to delete the redirect first), rather doing a copy-and-paste over the redirect... in order to preserve the article history. Jamie 05:27, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- I agree, that's what I get for thinking when half asleep. Reverted my changes and put up an afd on the redirect page to get this started. Thanks! Thaagenson 12:51, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- ...and I've reverted the afd. Not only does afd not deal with redirects, which usually go to WP:RFD, but rfd itself sends requests for deletion for this reason to Wikipedia:Requested moves. Please list it there. (Furthermore, Modern language has history that was merged into Modern languages, so it can't simply be deleted.) —Cryptic (talk) 15:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, here is the situation when reviewing this article. Modern language and Modern Languages used to be separate articles that were merged into one at Modern Languages. Due to naming convention reasons, these was an incorrect merge and should have been merged to Modern language. My initial thoughts was that it should just be moved through copy paste to Modern language and the redirect be added to Modern Languages. Please respond with any other thoughts or suggestions. Thanks! Thaagenson 16:11, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Copy-paste moves are almost never the right thing to do. (Though you make a good case for one here.) Do please list it at WP:RM; the admins who maintain that page deal with this sort of situation all the time, and can help you figure out the correct solution. —Cryptic (talk) 16:52, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

- Another note, the only history actually at Modern Languages appears to be just the merge history. There was also some history at Modern languages that has since been deleted and this page just links to Modern Languages
- We should be having this discussion on Talk:Modern language or Talk:Modern Languages, not here. I'm the one who did the merge, and I chose the merge direction incorrectly. (I was looking at the content of the two articles, rather than on the naming convention. ) Go ahead and propose the merge as per WP:RM (including starting a discussion in the article talk page), and I'll happily support the move.

Hard and soft drugs
[edit]Thank you so much for your input on the subject, I'll admit I'm very ignorant when it comes to any of the technical terms considering drugs and the legalities involved. You mentioned another article should be made before merging these. I don't have the knowledge on the subject to author this myself and was hoping you could assist in the regard. Thank you. Thaagenson 18:45, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry didn't see your message earlier. I didn't say we needed another article, just that the Hard and soft drugs article needs a little more work before merging it into Recreational drug use :) I'll try to clean the article up a bit this weekend. --Thoric 21:08, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
I noticed from Category:Wikipedians in Florida that you are a floridian and I have created a state wikiproject, Wikipedia:WikiProject Florida. So far is it very small but it could be expanded later. Join it if you want and help set tasks etc. Thanks --Jaranda wat's sup 06:07, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
[edit]This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 21:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
