Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Falklands War guided missiles, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

[edit] Linking in disambiguation pages

Disambiguation pages are not articles. They are a tool for taking readers to articles when a query entry is ambiguous. When an item is listed for an existing article, the words in the one line description are not linked. Readers can find out more about the item by clicking on it. Only when an item is red ink (that is, yet to be written) is it appropriate to link such words in the description that would help the reader understand what the yet-to-be-written article might be about. Politely, your edits to the Qalat disambiguation page were not appropriate. Please use your talents on articles that need them. Thanks. --Bejnar 23:28, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I have a hard time believing you are upset with this edit. Many if not most dab pages have wikilinks in the text, so if you are crusading about extraneous links in dab pages, you clearly have a big bite to chew. I usually just stick with the style of a dab page I edit, not change it, which for Qalat I made an oops. Feel free to zap the extra wikilinks if you want, it won't bother me. My only purpose for the edit was to change the link from Qalat (Zabul) to Qalat, Afghanistan (which is where Qalat (Zabul) redirects to. Josh 23:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
The education of editors, including my own education as an editor, is a never-ending process. I just fix 'em as I find 'em, and try to let people know. The guideline is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Individual entries "Unlike a regular article page, do not wikilink any other words in the line, unless they may be essential to help the reader determine where they might find the information." The exception is further articulated under redlinks as: "Redlinks should usually not be the only link in a given entry; link also to an existing article, so that a reader (as opposed to a contributing editor) will have somewhere to navigate to for additional information." I would appreciate it if you would consider cleaning up disambiguation pages when you find them seriously overlinked. Thanks. --Bejnar 18:20, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1973 WRC templates

Hi Joshbaumgartner. I was just wondering if there was any reason why you created a separate infobox template for each round of the 1973 WRC season, rather than just including a populated template in the respective rally report articles? DH85868993 06:52, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. I've pasted the populated templates into the relevant articles and proposed the templates for deletion. See discussion here. DH85868993 15:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, sounds good to me.Josh 17:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
You could probably do the same with the "District" templates you've created - from the sample I looked at, it looks like they're each transcluded into only a single article. Cheers. DH85868993 00:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed that a template you created, Template:Cathead age of sail sloops of the, is unused and appears to be abandoned.

[edit] Infoboxes for Afghanistan provinces and districts

Please don't create a separate infobox template for every district and province. It is simply wasteful especially as each infobox was using the generic infobox. I have transferred the information in the infoboxes to their respective articles and transferred the infobox code to subpages attached to the article talkpages like this example -> Talk:Badakhshan Province/Infobox in order to preserve the histories for GDFL purposes. The infobox templates themselves have been nominated for speedy deletion. Green Giant (talk) 15:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing American Champion wikipage

I noted your 20 Feb. edit of the aircraft manufacturer American Champion - you placed the List of Aircraft into a wikibox. While I commend you for the effort, I was disappointed to see that you squished my previous breakout (of the various derivatives) into 4 categories. I spent considerable time getting them broken out, and feel that it is desirable to have such a breakout. Any chance you would reconsider your action?
