| *** Yes, but personally I'm happy with the result. The reason for doing this (according to more senior wikipedians than me) was because cross-namespace redirects, i.e. from a "normal" address to an "about wikipedia" address, are seen as a bad thing. However, the redirect to "Citation" is OK because at the very top of that page it has some disambiguation stuff which points people in the right direction. --] 10:28, 9 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *** This all may be true but for someone looking for information it is hard to imagine that someone who first realize that they needed to follow the the link to "citing sources" and secondly read through the nearly the entire article to find that all they needed to do to add {{fact}} to an article was to put fact in curly cue brackets. There should be a guide and/or a better way to search for Misplaced Pages syntax. | |||
| *] - ] is an Australian television personality also known as ''Hotdogs''. An editor added a toplink on ] to ], in addition to the link to the existing dab page. Simon Deering was then added to ] and the toplink was removed. The editor maintains that ] is not the correct place for ''Hotdogs'', since it is a proper name and is spelled differently. The editor then proposed a custom dab link, explicitly stating that ] contained articles relating to "Hotdog, Hot dog, and Hotdogs". In my view, ] and ] explicitly cover this scenario and a special exception for ''Hotdogs'' is not necessary or wise. -] 00:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *] The section ] was added by an anonymous user, seems quite NPOV and poorly written to the point of being hard to understand. Has odd wikilinks that look like citations but are more confusing than helpful. Text seems ranty. I tried to accomodate, copyediting bits I could follow and adding a map on what seems to be one of the issues, added questions to article's talk page and anon user's talk page, pointing out confusing and NPOV parts. No replies, but further attempts to reduce NPOV have been reverted and new confusing, NPOV, poorly written material added. My instinct is to walk away -- I don't want to get into a dispute over it and I can't figure out how to be nice and copyedit this material into something readable and useful. Suggestions appreciated, thanks! 05:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *] This article is full of factual errors an nonsence. They need to provide proofs and backing documents. I am nore concerned about adding buddhist as a part of History of Hinduism. The map they have shown does not represent Hindu Kingdom. The Kigns who rule over the displayed regions where either Buddhist or Jain. They are completely diffrent religions. The main diffrence between Hindu(?) (in my POV Brahmin) is that, Hindu religion believes in Purusha theory, which says, by birth you are either Brahmin or Shudra. Buddhism doesnot believe in Purusha theory. It is based upon Kapila's Sankhya philosphy. The writers are not even responding on talk ]pages, insted they delete it. Please do allow this article being published without providing credible evidence/reference. Please help not to publish false information to the world without validating its credibility. Thanks --] 18:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *] Two MoS guides have been merged. One was on ] and the other was on italics. I want them to be two separate articles again. Italics are used for emphasis, but are not synonymous for emphasis. They are used for other purposes such as the titles of books. It is ''New York Times'' not "New York Times!". The italics are used to distinguish the name of the periodical, and in pure ascii documents they use quotation marks. Merging them is confusing. MoS guides should not be changed radically until consensus has been reached says the header for each MoS guide. 01:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *] and ] - These articles, like many articles on Canadian MPs, contain fair-use photos from the parliamentary website. I had taken photos of these two MPs, released them under CC-BY-SA-2.5, and put them on Wikimedia Commons as ] and ], then replaced the parliamentary photos with them. I understood it to be best practice to replace unfree photos with free ones once those became available. However, ] reverted these changes. Not understanding why he did so, I reverted, explaining my actions on the relevant talk pages and on his/her user page. Today, I found my photos removed again, commented by an order not to revert again, and my explanations had been ''deleted'' from his/her user page and from the talk pages (in the latter case, by an anonymous IP.) Am I wrong to believe that free photos are preferable? - 04:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
