I apologize for adding the speedy deletion tag so quickly to the article. It at first did seem like another one of the junk articles added so often every day. In order to avoid this in the future make sure you check that each one of your links goes to the page you expect it to go to. I have correct the Battle (band) link on it so that it now points to the band page instead of the battle, as in to fight, page. I have removed the db-bio tag as I now feel it is inappropriate. Sorry for the confusion. Robert A. Mitchell 05:28, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
To be completely honest with you I am not entirely sure. It either happens whenever someone makes a change on your talk page, or it only happens when someone leaves their signiture on your talk page. I am not entirely sure about that though, as I didn't get a little flag leading me to mine when you just added that to my talk page. So to be quite honest with you, I have no idea. Robert A.

[edit] Disambiguation style
Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia. I reverted your recent edit to Pavement. The guideline on Wikipedia is that disambiguation pages ("dab pages") should only link the primary term — the target after the term is being disambiguated. This is because dab pages are intended as signposts, to direct readers to the proper article. Keeping to a minimum of links makes the dab page easier to navigate. You can read more on this at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). I expect you were not aware of this, so no problem — I just wanted to point it out. Your edit history looks otherwise fine to me — keep up the good work! Thanks. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 22:50, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
