About Mirian (entertainer)
editHi there. I am not used to leaving messages on talke pages, so forgive me if I do this wrong. But I noticed that you, like me, is taking issue with a couple of IPs determined to change Miriam_(entertainer) to say "he" instead of "she" throghout. Your last change left a whole lot of male pronouns in there, leaving the article a bit self-contradictory. Just wanted to ask you to be careful when looking at that article. It's been getting a lot of anonymous IP attention really. Bye bye, and sorry if I messed this message up, or it is inappropriate. Dendlai (talk) 04:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Dr. Al Carroll
editA tag has been placed on Dr. Al Carroll requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Pruning Categories
editYou seem to be removing categories from alot of Native American subjects. Although I agree that some are redundant and should be removed, not all of your removals, in my opinion, should be removed. Specifically removing "cultures"(such as the Coles Creek culture) from the list of Category:Archaeological cultures. Can we reach a little bit of concensus on this matter?
Women in warfare category
editCould you check please if these women were actually involved in warfare? For example, Malika Umazheva was a peaceful activist, just as many other women you included in this category. Thank you.Biophys (talk) 01:45, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Over-categorisation in general
editHi. Thanks for your input at Talk:Pink (singer). I was trying to make a wider (non-Pink related) point about the way categories (not just national or racial) are applied across Wikipedia, and understood across the world. Do you know if there is a better forum for this? Raising RFCs one page at a time doesn't appeal much! pablohablo. 00:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Page move
editI'm not sure I understand your reasoning in moving John Holmes (actor) to John Holmes (pornographic actor). There is no other John Holmes who is an actor for which a page move would be required, there is a disambiguation page for John Holmes that allows a reader to find the correct page and it seems unnecessary to me. Had it moved to John C. Holmes, I could perhaps understand, but this seems to unnecessarily complicate things to me. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

re: Jane Fonda women in war categories
editMy problems with categorizing Fonda under Women in 20th century warfare or under Women in war in Asia are both the same. I think it is a miscategorization. Fonda is included in American anti-Vietnam War activists, which is accurate and reflects her involvement in the Vietnam war, while being categorized as in war implies a greater involvement than that. When I look at the other persons included in Women in war in Asia, almost every one of them were physically involved in either fighting or other active involvement during warfare. There are a couple included that I don't think are appopriately categorized, though. Women in war in Asia is included under the broader category of American people of the Vietnam War, which seems more inclusive and appropriate in its scope. There are quite a few women who are listed in the American anti-Vietnam War activists category, none of whom are included in categories that imply they had active involvement in actual war time activities. I think that is the distinctive factor and there should be consistency of inclusion in the category that best represents the role that someone played. I also note that Fonda is included in a very broad category of Women in war, and I don't think that is very accurate either, although it could be inclusive of anti-war activists and similar categories if it were consistent. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:03, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Ms. Ford
editShe was married to a man, so I assumed that the bisexual category applied just as much as it did for Freddie Mercury. Am I mistaken?--KingMorpheus (talk) 01:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
""Witches"
editJust a quick question. I've noticed that you've been adding "Witch trials" as a category to a number of articles. Since you are a student of anthropology, I'm somewhat confused by your claim of applicability in some of these instances. I first noticed it in your edit of the Handsome Lake article. Do you agree that the term "witch" can vary in its appropriateness as a label from culture to culture and through time as well? I'd suggest that "witch trials", in its formal definition, is most appropriately used in a Western cultural milieu, and that the concept of Witch-hunt (although not a formal category in the encyclopedia) is more appropriate outside of that. My concern is that the average reader will confuse the categories I'm mentioning and that they will simply be lumped together. Your thoughts? cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 16:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for making the change. I think that in the long run it will potentially be far less confusing to the readers. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 17:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you
editI must thank you for your kind words in the discussions about The Fisherwife of Palermo and Hans the Werewolf! I do not feel that I really should take part in discussions about articles I have created myself, but I have explained things a good as I could. There was some problems with Dreamguy on the Fisherwifes article, as he removed the context and then complained there was no context. He seems a little hot-tempered. I wrote them as representative examples of a phenomena; perhaps it would have been better to write of the phenomena and include a representative example in them, but that change would be easy: one only need to change the names and intros of the articles, if that is indeed necessary to save them from deletion. I do hope they will not be removed: I really do write articles I think is notable, from sources I trust, although I know I make mistakes as my English is not perfect. Again, thank you for your support! --Aciram (talk) 10:24, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you, that is very helpful of you. I can speak and read English very well, but there are still problems with my spelling and with understanding nuances - I had no idea that the Fisherwife-article gave that impression. I have more than one ref about this case, but as the case was described more detailed in one of them, I only used that book in the article. There was some time ago I read about these cases, but I will look them up again this week and double-check everything, inkluding that of the torture issue: I seem to remember that the fisherwife gave her confession villingly, because her belief in the fairies was a part of a folklore for which she was not ashamed, and therefore saw no reason to hide, which is why her story has taken as an example of folklore and not just a confession made by leading questions under torture: the Inquisition, as far as I remember from the book, simply did not care about the fairires, and would have extracted a confession involving Satan and demons rather than fairies. I will mention this when I have checked it all again. The trouble is that I have so little time on my hands! I will defenitely do my best to find the time as soon as possible. --Aciram (talk) 11:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Good. It's always usefull with such comments - as the creator you sometimes forget that others would not have so much knowledge of a subject as yourself after having just read the references, so there are often things which could be clarified. As was requested on the deletion nomination, I will change the titles of the articles, so the cases will be treated as examples within the subjects. I don't mind doing this, as I have thught about it before but somewhat lacked the confidence. These subjects really deserve an article here!--Aciram (talk) 14:55, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation page moves
editHi, I asked for one of your moves to be reverted at the Admin incident page and it was noted that there were a handful of articles also moved. WP:QUALIFIER is not always definitive what to do here but the essence of the disambiguation is simply to differentiate enough from our other articles of the same name so our readers find what they are looking for. Pornography is not useful for a biography disambiguation even though that is the main field of a person's notability. Depending what other people with the same name are also known for, director or pornagraphic actor will likely suffice. We should generally err on the conservative side of things. -- Banjeboi 20:29, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

An editor has nominated Inter-Tribal Environmental Council, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inter-Tribal Environmental Council and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:54, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

It is rather offensive
editIt is rather offensive that you, as someone who calls herself straight, keep imposing her view of things on articles about other people i.e. bisexuals. You insist on a view that belonging to a category of sexuality is about how one labels oneself this week, or month, or year. It is not, and the guidelines of wikipedia do not say so: your interpretation is perverse. People can use whatever words they like about themselves and mean whatever they like by them; that is their own concern. An encyclopedia need only use commonly accepted terms or define its own terms and stick to them. This inability to get out of your own head and see things objectively as others in society see them is possibly part of your Asperger's. If you are offended by the last sentence, you may be going some way to understanding how you are offending me. MerriFunn (talk) 02:39, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation
editHi, that's a common misunderstanding. We only disambiguate enough to clarify which of the three people that article is about. As there is only one actor there is no need to disambiguate beyond that. If a second article with the same person's name who was also an actor we would try to find the best way to differentiate the two. -- Banjeboi 21:37, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

They're certainly quite distinct historical phenomena. --Delirium (talk) 18:54, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bibi Khem Kaur Dhillon
editYou may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Bibi Khem Kaur Dhillon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. TM 00:39, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

- Fair enough good point and I will take note of that in future (my anthropology first year lecturers loved showing the documentaies of west new guinea)- but hey its almost worth an article - bit like the wallace line article - of the intersection - we have many edit wars and strange issues arising from the notion of 'Australasian' and the sight of the word Austronesian usually leaves me in more quandaries than are worth sharing. cheers SatuSuro 01:10, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Abbey Lee
editShe describes herself as swinging both ways. Lots of people who are lesbian by any definition (they say they love only women) don't like the word lesbian. They still appear in lists. Many men dislike the word gay or even homosexual. I have seen people say this before. There can be no word that everyone likes. It was tried to make it "people who have had relationships with men and women" to avoid a dreaded label, but that got nowhere. Some day bisexuals may be called something else, then everyone on the list will drop off the list until they sign up to the new name? JenAW (talk) 22:26, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Those are all valid points to make, but they are not relevant here. "Bisexual" is a very specific and very politically loaded term, and it is unfair to label a living person "bisexual" when they reject the word squarely, or indeed, reject any label to their sexuality. I believe that we should err on the side of caution when it comes to the lives of living people, though labeling the dead (as long as there is a source) is of no concern to me. You can put up a "request for comment" on the list if you like, but if you look in the talk archives, you will see that this issue has been argued ad nauseaum already and it would be a waste of time. Asarelah (talk) 22:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- I have looked at previous discussion. I think you are the only person who feels there is a problem. The list of lesbian, gay or bisexual people "labels" people who haven't adopted a particular label. How? On the basis of common sense. In your mind "bisexual" is a shameful term. In my mind it is no more loaded than "surfer". People may not like the word surfer, but if they surf, or if they say "I like to go out on a board and ride the waves", they could go in a list of surfers. You seem determined to aid, succour and support to homophobic people. That at least is the effect or your words and deeds. JenAW (talk) 23:18, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- So once again you accuse me of being homophobic and/or biphobic? No, I assure you, I am not homophobic. I am merely puzzled and more than a little irritated at your bizarre insistence that YOU, JenAW, are somehow more capable than the subjects of these biographies at understanding and labeling their sexuality than they themselves are. What is more oppressive, respecting the wishes of a person who does not want a label attached to them, or forcing that label onto them whether they like it or not? You claim to want to help queer people, yet you seem to think that YOU hold the ultimate right to decide who they are, and too damn bad for them if they object. For someone who wants to help the oppressed, you certainly seem pretty damn determined to ignore their voices. Oh by the way...comparing the term "bisexual" to the term "surfer" is like comparing apples to oranges. Nobody ever complained that the term "surfer" was too narrow and didn't encompass people who were outside the gender binary. No athlete has ever objected to the label of "surfer". Nobody has ever said that they weren't sure if they were a surfer or not. Furthermore, if a living person on the list of surfers object to being placed there, I'd remove them from that list too. Asarelah (talk) 23:43, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Why this seemingly pathological fear of "labels"? You seem to have way too much invested in it. You have taken it upon yourself to be the police. Lots of people add perfectly well sourced entries (people talking perfectly openly - because they do not think it is any more shameful than surfing - about their relationships with both sexes) that you then remove for nonsensical reasons. You never contribute anything. You took it upon yourself to take over and impose yourself. The list explained itself and you decided to come along and change it. You are proud to belong to a nation with a terrible record for ethnic cleansing, lynch law and homophobia. I'd have thought you would feel the responsibility to reduce homophobia (along with racism and sexism) rather than perpetuate the idea that being gay, lesbian or bisexual is shameful. That's what the homophobes want: for people to treat it as if it was like pedophilia. You perpetuate that. If you go away and think hard about it, you might eventually see it. You weren't around to fight the fight when it mattered for jews, slaves, native americans. Now the fight has moved on, and your efforts are all negative and damaging. One day you might wake up and be ashamed.JenAW (talk) 00:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- I have tried over and over and over again to be reasonable with you, and you, either unwilling or unable to defend your arguments, have yet again resorted to deeply insulting personal attacks. I direct your attention to Wikipedia:No personal attacks, and I am also initiating a Wikiquette Alert. By the way, I happen to be Jewish and I find it appalling that you would have the utter gall to compare the brutality that my great-grandfather suffered at the hands of the cossacks to someone disagreeing with you on the Internet. Asarelah (talk) 15:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think you have jumped to conclusions and did not read what I wrote carefully enough. I was comparing the brutality that many jews, slaves, and native americans suffered to the treatment widely meted out to gay, lesbian or bisexual people in history (including today). If you read you will see that I was saying nothing about you. I did ask you why you seemed so terrified of labels. Then I said how your contribution seems to be entirely negative, acting like the self-appointed police. Both of which might be 'tough' points of view, but perfectly legitimate in a forum that values free speech and open debate. Something I hope you value too. You accused me of having a "bizarre insistence", a deeply offensive thing to say, but I am grown up enough not to take offence at that sort of thing. If you ever come to Ireland, I'll buy you a pint. JenAW (talk) 19:45, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- For your information, I am quite well aware of the violence suffered by LGBT people in the past and the present and I most certainly see and understand the historical analogues to other oppressed groups, and I find your assumption that I am unaware of this patronizing. However, it is irrelevant to this editing dispute. You claim you said nothing negative about me, and yet you inform me that I am perpetuating homophobia by virtue of my editing, which isn't true. I have repeatedly stated my reasons for expunging the list of certain individuals and you continue to attack me personally rather than the merits of my arguments. You also made a very snide remark about how I shouldn't be proud to be an American because simply because my nation has some very unfortunate chapters in its history, which is totally and utterly inappropriate. If you want to resolve this civilly, we should continue this discussion over on the post at Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts. Asarelah (talk) 20:21, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Maire o Ciaragain
editHi there. Could you give any further information on this woman? I'm reasonably familiar with Medieval Ireland and have never heard of her. Fergananim (talk) 01:56, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- No problem. Because women are so rarely mentioned in Gaelic Ireland (except as the daughters, wives and mothers of important men), I try and make a special effort to include them, no matter how obscure or unsavory. Kerrigan is the way it is pronounced, but we don't use K in Irish, instead useing a harsh C. This is why Americans pronounce Cahill as Kay-hill, and so forth (its actual sound is 'KHATHal'. Varients include Corrigan. There are two, apparently unrelated, clans of the name; one in Breifne, a second in the east Thomond/northOrmond region. Not at all a prominent name in Irish history. Let me know if you ever come across any other stray Irish girls and boys; I'd like to bring them home. Fergananim (talk) 18:13, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Could you give me an advice?
editHello Asarelah! You have been helpfull to me before, and even once decorated me with a medal (I may be more than a novice editor by now;), for which I was very flattered by the way.
I have recently provided several sources to the article of Sophia Magdalena of Denmark. These references were provided as one user, User:SergeWoodzing, have questioned some information in the article in what seemed to be a rather heated argument. Now, however, returning to the article to rephrased the text, I find that User:SergeWoodzing have deleted all of the references, claiming that it is necessary to provide page numbers for them to be accepted. I can confirm that every references provides the information asked for, and after having spend a whole day on this, is it truly necessary to visit the library to look up even the page numbers? Now, I am very reluctant to enter in to this conflict, as it seen to be quite heated: especially since this user seem to have removed the references because they contradict his own oppinions in the matter. Can I ask you for an advice? Is it acceptable to remove references and then claim that they are no references? I would be most gratefull for your assistance. --Aciram (talk) 01:11, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hello again. Don't worry about answering the above; I had the time to aquire the page numbers after all, so i'ts no longer an issue. Regards.--Aciram (talk) 20:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
editHello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

editPlease note that 'Antiochian Orthodox' is just a sub-category of 'Greek Orthodox' = Greek Orthodox Christians of Syrian, Lebanese and Southern Turkish descent = the group Helen Thomas repeatedly self-identified with.

Page moves
editThe disambiguations you have been chosing for when you have decided to move all of these articles on porn actors are not suitable. "Belladonna (person)" is a bad title, and "Kirsten Price (sex worker)" is fifty times worse than "Kirsten Price (pornographic actress)". Please stop moving these pages to titles that could possibly violate WP:BLP. In the future, try to use neutral words in disambiguations. "Porn" and "Pornographic" should not appear in disambiguations, and "Sex worker" should never be used, regardless of it being factual.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:00, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- "Pornographic actress" (re: Belladonna) is a bad DAB as well. (Note the capital letter.) Nymf hideliho! 18:52, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Amy Winehouse
editHy there. I removed the bi-sexual categories because I was unable to find anything in the article about Amy Winehouse's bisexuality. After your post I checked to article's history and I dsicovered that you added the statement with a source but that User:Prayer for the wild at heart removed it later [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amy_Winehouse&action=historysubmit&diff=441315806&oldid=441314023). In the end you complained (rightly so) to the wrong person. Flamarande (talk) 18:31, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Sex Assignment on transgender articles
editI'm not sure where we're disagreeing? I agree with you that the term "assigned female at birth" is the most neutral term to describe the way in which a doctor (or other adult) examines a newborn infant and assesses the infant's external anatomy in order to assign a sex category. That's why I've made edits that change things like "born female" to "assigned female at birth": the first is a phrase that takes sides in the debate over which biological features determine sex, whereas the latter is an impartial description of what typically happens at a birth. At Wikipedia we document debates rather than participating in them.
Or am I not understanding your question or statement? SparsityProblem (talk) 22:49, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. It was changed after I edited it, and I gave up on that article because the other editor was being very aggressive and I couldn't find anyone to back me up (even after asking on the LGBT project page). SparsityProblem (talk) 00:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Women in warfare
editG'day from Oz; I just can't see how an item about someone receiving a promotion; or completing a route march under the same conditions as men; or becoming a pilot; or being good at baseball, fencing or air rifle shooting; or being appointed to a human resources position; or being appointed as a rabbi; belongs in that article. In fact, I find it offensive that items such as those should actually be lumped in with items about women risking and giving their lives in combat. By all means record the info somewhere, but not there. My suggestion is that you either start a new article, or rename the existing one to something other than Women in warfare.

editA discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of female rock singers is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Pink film
editHi: I recently reverted some edits you made on categories for pink film actresses. Pink film is very soft core - less explicit than much standard fare on HBO or Showtime. The various categories of the type "(nationality) pornographic film actors" and the "Female pornographic film actors" category are used consistently throughout Wikipedia only for hardcore porn actors. As far as I can determine no softcore actresses from other nationalities are put in these hardcore categories and there is no reason to make an exception for Japanese pink film actresses. I created the "Pink film actors" category to mark this uniquely Japanese concept for users and editors and I don't think it belongs as a subset of hardcore porn. I think it reasonable to have it listed under the "Japanese pornography" category which does include other types of softcore porn as well. Good editing!

February 2012
editYour recent editing history at Amber Heard shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.
If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

File source problem with File:Dahteste.jpg
editThank you for uploading File:Dahteste.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:43, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for August 19
editHi. When you recently edited Brea Bennett, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Caucasian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

editI've again reverted your addition of Category:War rape to this article. Please see our article on war rape - as I read it, it refers to rape of the "enemy" (people of the opposing or occupied location), whereas you seem to be using the category to say that any use of rape in war fits the category. Let's come to an agreement here or at the article talk page, or seek broader input if we can't agree. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- (NB that we could totally link the article from articles on rape, so that it wouldn't be isolated - astoundingly, we don't seem to have an article on rape in religion, or really on many cultural aspects of rape at all, but that's the sort of thing that it might be good to link from. Also Rape in Iraq theoretically will exist one day, as will the corresponding category.) –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:29, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- Go for it. Asarelah (talk) 03:03, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for August 30
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Amile Waters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Guyanese (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
