Talk:Black Sunday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Sourcing tag

I understand that this is a disambiguation page. However, the page labels a number of events with the tag 'Black Sunday' with neither attribution nor link to a supporting WP page. This constitutes original research and needs to be either attributed and verified or removed. Ronnotel 17:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

The disambiguation only links to articles that mention a "Black Sunday" and doesn't in itself constitute original research. Why not tag the respective articles as unsourced, needing verification or original research and then remove any links here that are not verified? dissolve^talk 18:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that there are no linked articles for many of these events. The only claim that these events are referred to as 'Black Sunday', AFAICT, is made on this page. Why did you revert all of my fact tags? You also removed a perfectly useful link to the Jethro Tull song. Ronnotel 18:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

If you read the articles, each of them mentions the "Black Sunday" linked to from here. That is the only reason they are listed on this page. I reverted fact tags because the Manual of style for disambiguation doesn't include any need for citations on a disambig page. Disambig pages are only collections of links. The facts in the article should be cited. I didn't remove the link to the Jethro Tull song, I removed the link to the King's Island incident as per MOS:DP because there is (now) no mention of it in the article. dissolve^talk 18:10, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, like redirects, disambiguation pages are not articles, so {fact} tags are inappropriate. However, we should be careful about DAB entries for terms that don't even occur in a target article. That appears to have been resolved here. —johndburger 01:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Ronnote, I notice that you have added similar {fact} tags to other "Black Xday" articles. I removed another one on Black Tuesday. Again, disambiguation pages are not articles, and thus do not get citations or references. That'd be like having footnotes and references for entries in a book index. That said, people definitely do get carried away in adding odd stuff to disambiguation pages. In many cases, I think the appropriate reaction is to be bold and simply delete problematic entries. I just did that on Black Tuesday. —johndburger 02:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jethro Tull

"Black Sunday", a song by Jethro Tull on his album A

His? Unless you're referring to the inventor of the seed drill (who, to my knowledge, never released an album called "A"), it should be "their". I've changed this. 84.68.34.66 (talk) 16:46, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
