[edit] Acting Spam
Thankyou for letting me know of this situation. Yes, I shall take more care in looking at this section.
It really is a shame that vandalism is so common on this website; people who think it is funny or 'cool' to undo our hard work.
Once again thankyou for your message. Lradrama 18:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Empire Falls
Hi, no worries! It's kind of a subjective issue, but it depends what else can be used for the book's title. I'm fixing a mistake I had made a couple months ago when I was just getting started in WP:Novels. I had split the page (both the miniseries and the novel were on the same article, which really bugs me), but I had gone against naming guidelines, which state that "it is usually not commendable to use "(book)" or a similar qualifier in Wikipedia article names, outside what is strictly needed for disambiguation from other *existing* Wikipedia pages." [1] Also, when it comes to films and novels that go by the same name, the novel should take precedence, and the film (since it usually comes after the novel, and it is an adaptation), usually has (film) or something similar tagged on it. I had previously, mostly because of laziness, kept Empire Falls the article for the miniseries, and moved the novel to Empire Falls (novel), which is incorrect. I say I was being lazy because Empire Falls had over 150 articles linked to it and I would have had to change all of that by hand. Yuck! Since I now have AWB, changing those linked pages is a cinch, so I thought it best to make things right. Er, a very long explanation for something so seemingly trivial, but I hope that makes sense? I'm now trying to get Empire Falls (novel) removed so that everything will be as it should be. María: (habla ~ cosas) 12:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- I thought a disambig page may be in the future, since there were a couple links that were meant for the band. Would you think it better to keep the (novel) page as it is and turn Empire Falls into disambig? Not that much work would have to be done; there are only about twenty links or so linking to the article at the moment. María: (habla ~ cosas) 13:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
