How to control global warming

WP:NOTHOWTO. GZWDer (talk) 15:16, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

For background on how this article was created, see this. As it's a redirect and could be useful in linking a Misplaced Pages article to a relevant search engine result I don't think this page needs to be deleted. --TS 15:40, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Indemnity Act 1747

Should not redirect to DAB page as 1) is an unambiguous title, 2) being a bluelink misleads editors into thinking the article exists, and 3) it's ridiculous to have it on the dab page redirecting to itself DuncanHill (talk) 12:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Export (revolution)

not needed. There's many exports, we don't need them redirected like this. No indication of any reason why this is an exception. It did target Revolutionary wave, now I've retargeted to Export of revolution pending deletion. Widefox; talk 08:11, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Comment. I thought it odd that Widefox retargeted this immediately before listing it here, so I investigated: and there's an innocent explanation.
  1. On 16 June 2012, the target was changed to a redirect by User:One-eyed pirate with this edit
  2. That day, soon after, User:AvicBot fixed the double redirect with this edit
  3. That day, soon after, On-eyed pirate's edit was reverted with this one.
  4. ...But this redirect was never restored.
After the bot's double redirect edit, this would not have appeared in the WhatLinksHere, so it's not surprising that unless the reverter User:Altenmann had prior knowledge of it, they made no attempt to fix it.
I don't know why Widefox writes that it is "pending deletion". Other outcomes are possible. Si Trew (talk) 11:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)o

Thank you for the invitation to join the discussion. Let me clarify the genesis of the articles of Export of revolution and Export (revolution.

  • 12:05, October 28, 2008‎ Altenmann (talk | contribs)‎ . . (947 bytes) (+947)‎ . . (I am not a political scientist and cannot write a meaningful text here, but I hope the wikilinks I am about to add will attract experts to fill the gap)

Following my promise, "wikilinks I am about to add" and being somewhat of Adrian Monk nature I performed a search over wikipedia and linked the term. Also, to avoid unnecessary wikipiping for phrases which contained the word "export", I created, wisely or not, the disambiguating redirect:

  • 12:37, October 28, 2008‎ Altenmann (talk | contribs)‎ . . (34 bytes) (+34)‎ . . (←Redirected page to Export of revolution)

Since I don't see its liked from anywhere, I assume someone smarter than me replaced its usage with better text.

Hence my vote, with typical arguments used by other for similar cases in the past:

Combat emplacement evacuator

Strong delete and perhaps salt, as for Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 August 3#Manual geomorphological modification implement. This one as a twist because it has actually been retargetted: on creation in March 2010 it targetted Shovel but, bizarrely, it was retargetted in August 2013 by User:Unkindpuddle to Entrenching tool with the edit comment "There is an article for this particular type of shovel", somewhat missing the point.

This is only used in the caption of the picture at WP:SPADE, and not in article space at all. Perhaps the picture has has changed, since what is there now is not an entrenching tool. But I can't find such a change in the history.

WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. Stats are low (averaging about three every four days) but irrelevant as I imagine many come via WP:SPADE. Si Trew (talk) 07:36, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Vegetable Soup

Considering the recent discussions about Vegetable soup and Soup vegetables, I can't see that this should go straight to the TV series as a WP:DIFFCAPS. Retarget to the DAB at Vegetable soup as an {{R from other capitalisation}}. For if not, then just move the target over the redirect. Si Trew (talk) 04:36, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
