Talk:I (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I edited the article and removed "i, the imaginary unit equal to one of the square roots of −1". For more information, see the article about that subject.

Good to see all this extra content. However, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages):

  • "Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link. Including more than one link can confuse the reader; including no links at all makes the entry useless for further navigation."
  • "Try to link to the disambiguated page with the first word in the line."
  • "Unlike a regular article page, don't wikilink any other words in the line, unless they may be essential to help the reader determine where they might find the information."
  • "The description associated with a link should be kept to a minimum, just sufficient to allow the reader to find the correct link."
  • "Longer Lists: The list may be broken up by subject area."
  • "Adding links to articles not yet written should be done with care."

I'll try and tidy this page up. -- DeLarge 09:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks much better, thanks. I made a few minor changes for stylistic consistency as well. 24.166.178.71 21:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] edits/reverts of 25 June

Following the style guide on Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)

  • I, the symbol for iodine on the periodic table: "Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link." Removed excess link.
  • 1 (number) in Roman numerals: "Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link." Removed excess link.
  • i, the imaginary unit equal to the square root of −1: "Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link." Removed excess link.
  • I, the closed unit interval which contains all real numbers from 0 to 1 inclusive: "Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link." Removed excess link.
  • I, the color-difference channel which is in-phase with the subcarrier in the YIQ colorspace, commonly used with the NTSC television encoding scheme: "Try to link to the disambiguated page with the first word in the line." Moved blue link as near to first word as possible.
  • I, the in-phase communications channel in QAM modulation schemes: "Try to link to the disambiguated page with the first word in the line." Moved blue link as near to first word as possible.
  • i, the US television network formerly known as PAX: "Do not pipe the name of the links to the articles being listed. In many cases, this may be all the user needs to distinguish the article." Removed piping.
  • /i/, /ɨ/ and /ɪ/, the three forms of the letter I in the International Phonetic Alphabet: "Try to link to the disambiguated page with the first word in the line." Moved blue link as near to first word as possible.
  • i, a Japanese keicar manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors: "Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link." and "Do not pipe the name of the links to the articles being listed. In many cases, this may be all the user needs to distinguish the article." Removed piping and excess link.

Okay, I think it looks much better now. Thanks for the professional clean-up help. I added a link that references i as a loop count variable.
