You are aware that you created this as a disambiguation page? And that the typical standard heading style on Wikipedia for every disambiguation page is to begin to the same way? Furthermore, the page title REFERENCES for the reader not just the abbreviation but also the obsolete spelling. But anyway it seems all this pettiness is moot, because the primary purpose of a disambig page is to guide the reader searching for a given word or phrase when there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead, and given that the botanist article is a red-link, technically there is nothing here to disambiguate, so the page should properly just redirect to "Kurd". -- Ϫ 13:24, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
- Each entry on a dab page is a sentence fragment whose beginning is the sentence fragment in the introductory line. "Koord may refer to an obsolete spelling of Kurd" is nonsensical. The word doesn't refer to the spelling, it is that spelling. You could try rewording the entries to make them start with the link (in which case "may refer to" could be used in the first line), but this will make it overall a bit less clear to readers: when the connection between the disambiguated term and the titles of the linked articles isn't obvious, it helps to word it in a way that makes that connection apparent. – Uanfala (talk) 16:04, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
