The supercentenarian Kowalski is most certainly the primary article. I don't think that the priest even meets our notability standards, and I say that as one of the project's most ardent inclusionists. (His beatification may have eked him by had it been done by anyone other than Wojtyla, who beatified more people than all the Popes who came before him combined.) In any case, a hat-note at the supercentenarian's article would have been the proper way to handle this. I moved "Józef Kowalski" to "Józef Kowalski (disambiguation)", while planning to move "Józef Kowalski (uhlan)" to Józef Kowalski". Apparently, we mortals can't perform such moves as the latter. This request seems straightforward and uncontroversial, so I hope you're willing to complete it for me. Joefromrandb (talk) 04:33, 29 May 2014 (UTC) Women in the militaryHi Neelix, I've just moved this article back to Women in the military. This wording doesn't imply that this is only referring to a single military force (articles like Women in the Australian military do that with clearly specific titles), and I don't think that Women in militaries is good gramatically. Per WP:BRD, could you please start a discussion if you think that the article's long standing title should be changed? Regards, Nick-D (talk) 10:33, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Edit on The Phantom of the Opera (song)Hi there, I made a comment regarding an edit you made a couple of years back at Talk:The_Phantom_of_the_Opera_(song).

Since you have contributed so many blurbs for TFL, I wanted to put in a request with you for a future TFL blurb. The World Cup is about to start, and I think it would be great if we had a related TFL to run sometime around the final weekend. List of FIFA World Cup finals is an FL, and looks like it would be a list of high relevance that has the potential to be one of the most-viewed TFLs ever. Do you think this is a good idea?

It would have been good to discuss this first. WP:NCDAB suggests nothing inappropriate about the original title. It’s not a good change. Any use of an orthographic projection results in a “map” according to several branches of mathematics, but that “map” does not necessarily mean a cartographic map in any recognizable sense.

Since, i was not able to do the same with the main article of hers. Please, understand this year her birthday is colliding with the available slot of main page. I think, if no this year, then i dont think i would be able to do until next 7-8 years. As, it depends on available dates and her birthday collising on same date.

I am looking for two online ambassadors to help with a course I'm teaching in the Education program. More specifically, I'm hoping to find a few ambassadors who can review student proposals for possible edits and sources from July 25th to July 30 and then review article drafts from July 30 to August 11. I'm working on putting the full schedule up on the course page but those would be the main duties of the ambassadors involved. Think you'd be interested?

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:20, 31 July 2014 (UTC) Need for disambiguation on Belden Inc.I disagree with your opinion that Belden Inc. needs disambiguation. Belden Inc. is the unique, legal name of the company. If it were say Belden (company) I would agree. Belden Brick Company does not even use incorporated as part of there name, if they did that would be a minor point of confusion. In my opinion it is near impossible that someone linking to Belden Inc. intended to get Belden Brick Company.--Svgalbertian (talk) 14:15, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

If I get the chance, I'll nip along the coast and get a picture of the things as they look now, but not making any promises. – iridescent 2 09:44, 9 August 2014 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for August 17Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of birds of Thailand, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pitt.

As I greatly respect your opinion and your voluminous work here, I am inviting you to review Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Tintin in Tibet/archive1. I know you mostly as the editor who once had time to be one of the principle editors of the Tintin articles, back in the earlier days of Wikipedia, long before you were needed on more important projects. Sometimes I feel like I have taken over the work you began. Anyway, this will be my first Featured Article and I have only asked you and one other editor. If you are able to provide your thoughts and support to this article, I thank-you. Cheers.

Another sports-related requestHi Neelix. The 2014 World Series is coming up late next month, and provides the possibility for another date-relevant list that we can run towards the end of October. World Series Most Valuable Player Award is available for use, as is a champions list. Either one would suit the purpose and draw some reader interest.

I appreciate your pointing out the consequences of having no article there on search, which I had completely overlooked. However, at our distance, I think both men are somewhat obscure early Georgian MPs, and there is no mark of distinction strong enough to make one the primary topic. Pointing Humphry Morice at the first one, I think, runs the risk both of confusing readers looking up the son and reaching the father, and creating erroneous links to the father because compilers of lists didn't realize the name was not unique. I appreciate the spirit of the disambiguation guideline you point at, but I think following it to the letter can do more harm than good for MPs. They're a discrete set of individuals, limited in number, readily sourced to the History of Parliament Online, of scholarly interest—this isn't a proliferation of redlinks to someone's not-really-notable neighbor. Take a look at all the incoming links to, say, the different Peregrine Berties, and imagine trying to have to sort all the remaining links out every time a new article on one of them was written.

Madmaharaja (talk) 08:39, 23 October 2014 (UTC) Dave I don't want to come across as mean, but you did take a sizeable chunk of my own work and use it to pad out what is essentially a piece on far future events as described in religion. You also appear to not want to expand that section any further, which is odd, because there are plenty of far future events described in many religions: the kalpa, mahayuga and the lifetime of Brahma in Hindu mythology; the Mayan glyph at Koba that describes a date octillions of years in the future, and those are just the ones off the top of my head. If you really feel this topic has been neglected I suggest you make a go of it; don't just rely on the work of other people to do it for you. Ideally, Far future could be a disambig with the three aspects (science, fiction and religion) mentioned in their own articles. Serendipodous 14:08, 1 November 2014 (UTC) |
