P.S. Please don't move pages and then put a blank page where it was -- i.e., please write an article on Lillian Smith. BCorr|Брайен

[edit] Lillian Smith

When we have two subjects by the same name, the process is to create what is called a "disambiguation page". What this does is to create a page listing the different subjects with links to their articles. I have modified your edit so that Lillian Smith now goes to a disambiguation page, where interested researchers can choose between Lillian Smith (author) and Lillian Smith (entertainer). Thanks for an honest effort though. Denni ☯ 22:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi again -- I just wanted to say that you did a fabulous job on Lillian Smith (author)! It's good to have you on the team!

[edit] What Do I Have to Do?

When an article to which other articles link is turned into a disambiguation page, it's established precedent for editors who have done that to change the links leading to the disambiguation page so that they lead to the new location of the original article. Currently, all articles containing the link What Do I Have to Do? should lead to What Do I Have to Do? (Kylie Minogue song). Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 15:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
