[edit] Style
Please:
- alphabetize the list
- be consistent, use italics on all titles or in none but first check style manual
- complete links to authors

- See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(disambiguation_pages). Alphabetizing: A matter of taste maybe, but I prefer to put the most common uses first, or to sort chronologically. Besides, by which word would one alphabetize? Italics: Agreed. Links to authors: I agree with the Manual of Style that a disambig page should have only links to the disambiguated pages in order to be less confusing visually. --Chl 15:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- Most common uses depend on the brain of the beholder ;-)
- For me is 1st. Ondine (play), 2nd. Undine, Last Ondine (actor). For other users it's completely different. A neutral alphabetizing is the ASCII sorting algorithm. If the list would contain only a few items I wouldn't care about the order, but with such a long list it's a pain in the mouse ;-) to find an item. Chronological sorting requires that the user knows the date corresponding to each entry and which criterion has been used to asign a date... For me it would be like a blind date ;-) OK with delinking authors (I haven't read the MOS...).

[edit] Cleanup
This dab page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB. I deleted a couple of entries basically for obscureness or non-notability (e.g. not even being mentioned on the linked-to article pages), meaning (a) the creation of the/an article is rather unlikely and (b) it's unlikely that someone would search for those terms. I'm not all-knowing and all-seeing though, so please copy-paste those entries back where you strongly disagree and/or have made sure that the linked-to article at least mentions "Undine" etc.
