Somebody who types in the word head will now actually get a description of the head. Hurray! Death to intrusive disambiguations!

The rationale for this was the observation that quite a lot of internal links to ] (formerly a disambiguation page) were in an anatomical context. Actually if I were doing it again I'd probably recommend that ] be moved to ], because well over 90% of all internal links to ] turned out to be anatomical, but I've done the work now and I'm not in a hurry to revert it all.

==]==
The majority of references to ] were to the American name of the season, so I did the sensible thing. People unfamiliar with the American usage can now click on the link and be told it's ] for ].

Misplaced Pages lacked a proper article on ], so I have stubbed one.

==]==
This now redirects to ] which contains adequate disambiguation for the more specific British usage.

==]==
Disengaging from this because the situation seems stable and I frankly cannot understand the point of view of the anti-photo people.

Went back because the page was briefly protected when someone wanted to edit it. Interesting discussions. Good for the project, I think. Basic issues are being thrashed out.

==]==

Most links seem to refer to the sheep. A difficult one, since the only current relevant article is ]. I decided to insert a disambiguation note on ] explaining that ] redirects there and pointing people to ] for other meanings. ] now points directly to ].

==]==
This is now a redirect to primary topic disambiguation on ]. Just about all internal links to ] were in the context of Winston as war leader or writer.

==]==
I disambiguated two or three references to ]. The remainder of the internal references to ] seemed to be references to ]. Another case for primary topic disambiguation.

==]==
This article, initially an intemperate rant, was NPOV'd under ] so as to avoid unpleasantness from Wollmann's many followers. And ''then'' it was listed for deletion. All part of the service.

<small>My user page, talk and subpage layout were ripped off from various places, particularly ]'s page (and his talk page), and ]' page. Most of the template work is mine. ] fixed the current incarnation of the top navigation, which used to be 800x600-busting.</small>
