[edit] Page moves
Hello, I noticed you moved some Daniel-related pages. From your edit summaries I can tell you had good intentions, but those moves were unnecessary. Check out Wikipedia:Disambiguation. In short, Daniel doesn't need to be disambiguated with (Biblical name) because the biblical name is definitely the primary meaning of the term. Other meanings are noted in the italic boilerplate. This is the standard way of doing things on Wikipedia; similar reasoning applies to Book of Daniel.
You may also want to familiarize yourself with the naming conventions. It's not advisable to use "the" in an article title when it's not actually part of something's title; like the Book of Daniel.
Also, if you want to move a well-established page, it's polite to leave a note on the Talk page announcing your intention, and giving others a chance to comment and discuss. - mako 23:16, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects
Just so you know, when you want to redirect a page (when you want something to a "see such and such") instead of keeping two articles the syntax #REDIRECT [[page name here]] is the accepted syntax. You got the bot auto warning because the redirect didn't match the pattern, I know its good faith and I've fixed it for you. If you have any questions feel free to leave me a message :) -- Tawker 07:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC) -- Tawker 22:21, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, I noticed you fixed it just after I saved this message, feel free to remove the bots warning message :) -- Tawker 22:26, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Steele
No worries - remember, BE BOLD is a wikipedia rule so don't be shy in future. I'm glad we reached a consensus and am a bit embarrassed about the comments I made before reverting them. Michael Dorosh 20:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Who wants to be a millionaire?
Hey, Manufracture. This is free-encyclopedia. Earlier today, Wikipedia surpassed a million and a half articles. I wanted to see what the millionth article was, so I typed in 'One millionth article,' and saw that you had redirected it to the one millionth article. Two things. First, thanks a lot, that was uber-helpful. Second, when did the number get reached? I saw you made the edit on July 5, but do you know when the actual event occured. Thanks.
