The text mentions children's books, children's magazines, and children's publishing but none of them is linked either. (Children's books is a redirect to literature, which might be the best target for magazine(s) and publishing too.)

Repeated abuse of MOS:NUM by Tony1

User:Tony1#Michael Moorcock -- 2013-12-07 note from p64

User:p64#Linking -- 2013-10-05/06 exchange with p64

p64 warns that manual restoration must be limited in scale, large-scale instances will be reverted re "abuee of MOS:NUM": "Regarding the first I will hereafter specify "abuse of MOS:NUM" in the edit summary. Manual restoration is appropriate sometimes when the changes are few in number --as for OhC at The Lantern Bearers a month ago (history)."

TALK PAGE == Influences/influenced

{{Infobox writer}} no longer supports the fields influences and influenced. Its template documentation now instructs (twice): "No longer supported. Please move cited/citable instances into prose."

Here are the current parameter values (cut and paste except bullet points):

Caption names photographer?

Template talk:Infobox writer#Caption

For Neil Gaiman we now display File:Gaiman-headshot.jpg (not a headshot) with caption "Gaiman and his dog, Cabal". The license specifies attribution required and the File history Comment includes "Permission=Own work, attribution required". Numerous wiki-pages use the image without visibly identifying the photographer.
{{Infobox person}} documentation provides the template completed for Bill Gates as an illustration. Its image caption is wordy "Bill Gates at the World Economic Forum in Davos, 2007" and does not identify the photographer altho the file page gives "Photo by Severin Nowacki".

If so, what title? Or does the book merely quote him at length? At Google Books I find two paragraphs quoted and paraphrased here does not provide the context needed.

Wikipedia talk:Categorization#Disambiguating single and multipile entites (sic)

History of type theory

Since writing above I have skimmed our coverage of Christian churches, and particular churches (23) within the Catholic. That coverage is far above the religious denomination and local church; religious order and monastic community. Our coverage of professional sports deals with leagues and their so-called clubs, franchises, or teams.
We have many articles on particular links in those chains, so to speak: St. Patrick's Basilica, Montreal]] in Anglican churches, New Valamo in Eastern Orthodox monasteries, Manchester United in Association football clubs.
In article titles, at least, we use "library" for library systems, branches of library systems, and single-location libraries. Thus Category:Libraries in Manhattan includes our library articles New York Public Library (system), Jefferson Market Library (one of its branches), and Morgan Library & Museum (where Pierpont Morgan Library redirects).

Minuteman Library Network

book series
McDonald's Restaurant -perhaps without articles or particular McDonald's shops
Category:Coffee houses of the United States Starbucks Coffee --perhaps without articles on particular Starbucks shops
Acorna book series; Acorna: The Unicorn Girl book, whose subtitle seems to be used as disambiguator (we omit the subtitles of six sequels but cover images show no such distinction); both in {{cl|Novels by Anne McCaffrey]]

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#Artificial

Observations.
Art, artifact (where artefact redirects), artifice, artificiality are related nouns.
Art (disambiguation) and artifact are disambiguations (contrast art and the arts); Artifice a literary magazine; artificiality redirects to artificial.
Natural redirects to nature, not to naturalness. But we have both nature (disambiguation) and natural (disambiguation).
--P64 (talk) 19:24, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Social institutions, human events, and so on are called artificial rather than natural as they are attributed to art or artifice (, which implies design or intention, rather than nature. Commonly in english, at latest from the Scottish Enlightenment, artificial art/artifice implies design,

I agree with your original point about my expansion of the lead two days ago. Thanks for the reference.
Otherwise WP:MOSDAB shows repeatedly in its own illustrations that "excessive description" is not defined by more description than necessary for navigation; for those who search the disambig term to judge which blue link to select.

  • Tambo (weapon), a very short staff used in martial arts
