Talk:Chickadee (disambiguation)

"Stub" tag

I'm removing the stub tag to this page as it seems to invite "article expansion" where there is no article. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks Tiderolls 00:19, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I also commented out the expansion text. -- JHunterJ (talk) 00:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I think the bird is probably the primary topic... When the dust settles, I'll start that discussion. (John User:Jwy talk) 01:16, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

<--I've messaged the anon IP that continues to edit the dab page in an effort to bring them to this discussion. Tiderolls 01:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I've intiated a 3RR report on the IP here. I've attempted several times to get the user to come here and explain their reasoning for their edits. I'm not going to revert them again. I'll let other parties address the issue. Tiderolls 02:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the content which has again been added to this dab page. It looks as if the bird might well be the primary usage, so that we'd need (a) rename this page to Chickadee (disambiguation), (b) redirect Chickadee to Tit (bird), and (c) add a hatnote on that page to say "Chickadee redirects here, for other uses see Chickadee (disambiguation)". Might keep most people happy. PamD (talk) 06:59, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your input, Pam. To be honest, I was surprised that "Chickadee" didn't have its own article. My efforts here are gnome-ish in the main and I assumed there was some naming convention wonkery responsible for the present situation. I hope that your suggestion is acceptable and moves us toward stability. Without the anon IP's participation here it may be a long road. Regards Tiderolls 10:31, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Primary topic

I propose (or second the above proposal of) moving this page to Chickadee (disambiguation) and making Chickadee a redirect to Tit (bird) as the primary topic (as it was in 2003-2006). Would this be uncontroversial? -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:37, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I think so - in fact tried to be WP:BOLD and do the move just now, but the dab from Chickadee (disambiguation) has too much history, so it will need to go to WP:RM but I think it could do so as uncontroversial. PamD (talk) 13:26, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I've listed it at WP:RM as uncontroversial. PamD (talk) 13:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Hadn't put the two issues together, but that seems to be the solution to the problem! I've updated the 3RR record. (John User:Jwy talk) 17:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all the work done. It's good knowing there are folks I can go to for help. Do I need to let the 3RR filing die on its own? If there is anything needed from me in that regard just let me know. Regards Tiderolls 17:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't think you need to take any more actions. We'll see what happens next, if anything. Cheers! -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
