This page is part of WikiProject Disambiguation, an attempt to structure and organize all disambiguation pages on Wikipedia. If you wish to help, you can edit the page attached to this talk page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.

Disambiguation pages are more than just a way to find a page that you're specifically looking for. They also serve an important purpose for those browsing the Wikipedia. Reasonable, compact, one-line definitions of the terms included are appropriate, and should convey some real meaning. Went ahead and removed the lniks, but the rest of the text should remain. Only referring to the last edits as a "cleanup" seems disingenuous. MrZaius^talk 13:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

The style guide disagrees with you. It says "The description associated with a link should be kept to a minimum, just sufficient to allow the reader to find the correct link." --Strait 16:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[1] The earlier edits were over kill. When the above comment was written, at least one entry's description had been completely erased, which is not in keeping with the style guide. "Sufficient to allow the reader to find the correct link" and "missing" are not the same thing. MrZaius^talk 18:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
