Talk:Rio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rio has had a peer review by Wikipedia editors which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

What was the reason for moving this page? Did you read the original Rio talk page, where it was determined that a disamb page was not needed? Please reference Wikipedia:WikiProject Music standards, where it says "do not reflexively disambiguate album titles". I would have appreciated a note on the talk page first. Thanks!

Nope, didn't read them. Sorry about not discussing it first. I thought, and still think, that it is quite obvious that a separate disambig page is in order, since "Rio" can have many other meanings. (Such as Rio de Janeiro, by far the most common meaning for the word, and the towns of Rio, Greece and Rio, West Virginia; probably there are other meanings, too.) Clearly there is other encyclopedic use for "Rio", in the words of the WikiProject Music page. Besides, I cannot see any harm in that the album article is at "Rio (album)" instead of "Rio". This seems much cleaner and the "right" way to do it.

If you wanna revert the move (which in my opinion would not be very wise or useful), go ahead; I will not bother to counter-revert it. Cheers :-) --Jonik 14:28, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

No, not worth the trouble to revert (especially since you've been wonderfully nice and cleaned up all the links). I think I was just feeling a very unwiki-like prickliness about the abrupt move; I was the primary writer of this article and was feeling a little proprietary about it, although I'm well aware I should not. Since I had gone to the trouble to discover that (as of 18 months ago) not a single article linked to Rio when it meant something other than the album, and had checked for new links periodically since, I didn't feel there was a need to move it, and that the disambiguation block at the top covered it. You're not wrong, and it probably is "cleaner" this way, though -- just the wiki process at work. Cheers to you! Catherine\^talk 21:24, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
