why won't you allow Monroe City, MO to be included under the heading of Titletown? the local media refer to our community as such. We have many more state championships than others listed in the heading. Why do you keep deleting? what evidence do you want to see? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.8.147.132 (talk) 03:59, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

The article makes no mention of this. older ≠ wiser 05:39, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Why won't you allow me to add Monroe City, MO to the Titletown page? None of the other entries are supported with links The local news sportscaster has called Monroe City Titletown for 20 years. It's referred to in local newspapers and sports broadcasts Ironman73 (talk) 13:04, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean. All of the other entries have the nickname explicitly mentioned in the Wikipedia article. That is the criteria for WP:DABMENTION. There is nothing in the article for Monroe City, Missouri that suggests it is known by this nickname. older ≠ wiser 17:33, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello,

can I ask why you've reverted my changes? Connective as a page can be more put to use as just the referral page to other topics that is now.

I have made a change to inform on Connective as a software provider, much like this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocuSign

So I would like to know why my changes have been made undone.

Thank you.

Vandercross If you want to write an article about the company, don't overwrite the existing disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 17:57, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Bkonrad I left all elements of the previous page and yet you reverted my changes again. I did not overwrite the page like you mentioned above. Vandercross (talk) 13:18, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Vandercross That's not how disambiguation pages work. Because connective is ambiguous, you need to create the new article at a different title such as Connective (company). Then you can add a link to that new article as an entry on the disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 14:27, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

V2 punk band formed in 1977, Manchester Uk http://www.spangle32.worldonline.co.uk/v2/index.htm 82.11.121.200 (talk) 01:23, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

• • I have taken out this band, as if V2 Radio is deemed irrelevant by you - and I do not hope this is not another case of an American disregarding British information...as is the case on here 99% of the time (even with all the info on Radio Today)..so must be this band must be an irrelevance too as there is no article about them, no mention of them in any linked article.

In Sussex, V2 Radio was set up to fill the gap vacated by both Wessex FM and Spirit FM, with test transmissions starting in West Sussex in December 2020, and the new service launching fully on 18 January 2021.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]}

re Warder -- Please explain your objection to sceptre reference. The word has that meaning also. Gershonmk (talk) 11:52, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Gershonmk, there's nothing in the sceptre article that indicates it is known as warder. older ≠ wiser 12:31, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

see the second definition here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/warder Gershonmk (talk) 19:04, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Gershonmk That's nice, but disambiguation pages are not dictionaries. The rule is that the linked wikipedia article must support the claimed usage. older ≠ wiser 19:09, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

What's the objection to alphabetical headers?
Vmavanti (talk) 17:42, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

I've no strong opinion. I object to the mass removal of so many entries. A small sampling showed many of the removals were without any basis. older ≠ wiser 17:44, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Good, we're agreed on alphabetical headers. We're agreed that we'd don't have strong opinions. Let's go over the entries one at a time.
Vmavanti (talk) 18:47, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

"I object." You object? Who are you, the queen of England? Is this is a baseless objection or is there some reasoning behind it? I guess you have strong opinions (feelings?) after all, otherwise you wouldn't have blanked an entire page of edits it took me over an hour to do. Your ambiguous edit summary said that my edit was "too extreme". You said nothing about my reasoning. Does that mean you believe there is a rule on Wikipedia about the quantity of information one is allowed to edit? If there is such a rule, can you show it to me? If there is such a rule, didn't you break it when you reverted all of my edits, rather than reverting and then discussing one or two or three items? Wholesale reverts strike me as incredibly uncivil, especially when not followed by polite, rational discussion. If no such rule exists, would you revert my edits back to what they were?

Happy First Edit Day!

Have a very happy first edit anniversary!

Have you had a chance to ponder the questions I asked last week? Starting with: What is the argument against alphabetical headers? I have more questions. How long have you disambiguating? What are your guiding principles? What rules are you following? These are not rhetorical. Can you explain your reluctance and refusal to answer my questions and engage in something approaching a conversation? I'm not being sarcastic. I really am interested in hearing your answers, and I remain puzzled by your reluctance. A quick glance at this page shows a lot of conflict. Why is that?
Vmavanti (talk) 03:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Please refrain from draconian undoing of accurate bonafide contributions. If the removal of a reference is what you meant to do, laziness from your part does not justify deleting the rest of an entry, that is proper and appropriate. Thank you 73.119.19.79 (talk) 12:55, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

The term you added failed WP:DABMENTION. older ≠ wiser 13:29, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

It does not now. I suggest you do constructive editing as opposed to destructive editing, for a better Wikipedia and for everybody's sake.73.119.19.79 (talk) 14:18, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Or you can check your edits and not expect others to cleanup after you. older ≠ wiser 14:48, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

You need to check your edits and not expect others to cleanup after you. Please read current updated linked articles, before making haste deletions. Thank you. 73.119.19.79 (talk) 14:59, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Bkonrad,

I'm new to editing Wikipedia and didn't realize the proper way to edit disambiguation pages. I noticed you were removing my edits, so I went and read the Wiki page to understand what I was doing incorrectly. I've read the page now, and will stop making those types of edits. Just wanted to let you know, and to say thanks for understanding. Blockchained (talk) 23:39, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
