[edit] Tor

But please stop changing the links to tor. You are doing the wrong thing and working against prior concensus. Tor meaning a type of crag or hill is the clear primary meaning as shown by the number of internal links. In this instance, if you think the priority ought to be changed you should take it up at Page Move requests. -- Solipsist 03:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

You speak as if I've done it many times, but I only did it once. If there has been a discussion and a consensus, it should be documented on the talk page, and it was not. My failure to read your mind is not my fault. And I have to say I very much disagree about one discipline calling "dibs" on a word. Archaic words fall into disuse and are reused- that's what synonyms are and what disambiguation pages are for. --Nil0lab 06:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry to some extent you are right. To some extent you were getting tarred with the same brush as other completely unrelated page move problems. But really you were acting recklessly. You made some provocative comments on Talk:Tor then proceeded to make some significant changes without waiting for a response, without understanding how Wikipedia works, and against concensus. That's why I had to stop you before you went too far. I would have reverted all your disambig changes, except that on a couple of them you were more accurately linking to specific articles on the Tor in question, which was a good thing.

There is no issue of calling 'dibs' on a word. You should take time to realise that in an international community such as Wikipedia, your experience of the world might be the minority one. Tor, meaning a hill, is not an archaic word, just one that is not commonly used in America.

Wikipedia's naming policies are designed to ensure that editors will usually be able to guess a link without having check it and disambiguate it. If there are already a large number of internal links for an article, that's a pretty good indication that a page has a primary meaning and is already in the right place. -- Solipsist 07:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Again, if there has been a discussion and a consensus, it should be documented on the article's talk page. I've yet to see any decent argument to the effect that tor-the-software should be subservient to tor-the-Britishism. And yes, I do tend to express my opinions forcefully, but I think calling them provocative is provocative. Expressing one's opinions forcefully is, in my experience, a good way to get a discussion going. I'm sorry if you felt provoked. --Nil0lab 21:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wild goose chase

Thanks for starting this article. Sometimes it's odd what's missing here... But I'm worried that in its present form the article might get deleted as nothing more than a dictionary definition. Can you add more to it - perhaps where the phrase originated? Happy editing, --Alynna 03:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

or perhaps you can --Nil0lab 18:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
