Disambiguation link notification for December 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vanessa Baden, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia. 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.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Margaret Keane, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:46, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Redirects

May I ask why you keep ignoring WP:NOTBROKEN and MOS:NOPIPE (the latter of which is a guideline and part of the Manual of Style) in the "Pilot (Body of Proof)" article? - JuneGloom07 Talk 00:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

I see that you continue to ignore WP:NOTBROKEN, also WP:SPECIFICLINK; therefore, Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:41, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Please stop violating WP:NOTBROKEN. —Granger (talk · contribs) 01:22, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:20, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

No reason to bypass the redirects

Hello,
I have noticed this modification. This is not compliant with several guidelines, see WP:NOTBROKEN and WP:SPECIFICLINK. They explain that redirects should be kept. In your modification, the previous link ] was better than ] because it was more precise. Moreover, if ] becomes an article about the Emmy ceremonies, the previous link would be OK whereas your new link would have to be corrected.
Several people have already mentioned redirects in your talk page. These guidelines reflect consensus. Do you intent to go to Misplaced Pages talk:Redirect to change the guidelines?
Regards --NicoScribe (talk) 21:40, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, have you seen my message? Your first edit after my message was to replace a redirect. --NicoScribe (talk) 09:06, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

I thank you for your answer in my talk page, but the discussion began here so it is simpler to continue it here. You wrote "I still just don't understand what the big deal is; I hate redirects & my edits should b helpful as I'm clearing most of them away to help clean these articles up. Why exactly does it matter so much?", but:

1. Have you read WP:NOTBROKEN and WP:SPECIFICLINK?
2. Why do you think that "Henson at the 1989 ]s" is better than "Henson at the 1989 ]"?
3. At least 5 users have already explained to you the benefits of redirects: JuneGloom07 in this edit on 17 August 2015, AnemoneProjectors in this edit on 17 August 2015, Redrose64 in this edit on 19 February 2017, Mx. Granger in this edit on 21 February 2017 + this edit on 22 February 2017 + this edit on 22 February 2017, me in this edit on 12 July 2017 and other users have reverted your edits with clear edit summaries. Have you read Misplaced Pages:Consensus?

--NicoScribe (talk) 17:54, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

I thank you for your answer in my talk page, but the discussion began here so I copy your last text here. You wrote: "OK, since it's quite clear that my primary concern as far as me editing Misplaced Pages is clearly seen as worthless & unhelpful & a complete waste of time & effort, I am outta here. I will NEVER make another single edit here again. Good day & good luck."

--NicoScribe (talk) 14:35, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

NicoScribe: I've blocked users before for consistently bypassing redirects when asked not to. I think there should be a series of warn templates relating to it. — anemoneprojectors 15:11, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Why are you telling me this? I told you before I'm gettin the hell outta here. Goodbye & good luck!! -- Grouches101 (Send a note then scram!! P.S. Have a rotten day!!!!) 12:14, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello Grouches101. You are continuing to replace redirects, even if your target is less precise than the previous target (, , , etc.), so I have to ask you again:

1. Have you read WP:NOTBROKEN and WP:SPECIFICLINK?
2. Why do you think that "Henson at the 1989 ]s" is better than "Henson at the 1989 ]"?
3. Have you read Misplaced Pages:Consensus?
4. Do you intent to go to Misplaced Pages talk:Redirect to change the guidelines?
