== Recently discredited long-time abuser now targeting Wiktionary ==

Hi, BD2412. Thanks for your extraordinary contribution to building Wikipedia, including correcting my mistake at [[Kangju]] :)[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Kangju&type=revision&diff=664809405&oldid=664792143] I'm addressing you about the following issue as you're both an administrator on both Wikipedia and [[Wiktionary]].

== [[Talk:James Jackson]] ==

{{ping|BD2412}} Now that Jamie Jackson is mentioned on the dab page, it makes a whole lot more sense to have his name redirect to this dab page, where the reader can actually find all the information Wikipedia has about him. Right now there are several articles with redlinks that naturally point nowhere. There is absolutely no reason to prefer a redlink over the redirect under these circumstances. [[Special:Contributions/EauZenCashHaveIt|EauZenCashHaveIt]] ([[User talk:EauZenCashHaveIt#top|I'm All Ears]]) 06:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
: If we redirected [[Jamie Jackson (actor)]] to the disambiguation page, all of those links would automatically register as broken links, and someone would come through and "fix" them to something like "[[Jamie Jackson (Australian actor)]]; a link that is intended to be pointed to [[James Jackson]] must be piped through [[James Jackson (disambiguation)]], per [[WP:INTDABLINK]], so that it does not confuse the software into reporting an error on the page. If the subject is not notable enough to ever have an article, then it should not be linked anywhere. We do not use disambiguation pages to substitute for articles. They are merely navigational devices, like an index. [[User:BD2412|<span style="background:gold">'''''bd2412'''''</span>]] [[User talk:BD2412|'''T''']] 01:23, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
::Thank you for your explanation. In that case, why is [[James Jackson (disambiguation)]] a redirect to [[James Jackson]], instead of the other way around? [[Special:Contributions/EauZenCashHaveIt|EauZenCashHaveIt]] ([[User talk:EauZenCashHaveIt#top|I'm All Ears]]) 08:10, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
::: [[James Jackson (disambiguation)]] is a redirect to [[James Jackson]] per [[WP:MALPLACED]] and [[WP:CONCISE]]; we don't redirect "Foo" pages to "Foo (disambiguation)" titles because having the page at the "Foo (disambiguation)" title suggests "Foo" is available.

== Cronulla ==

The discussion before my "bold" revert of the move of [[Cronulla, New South Wales]] to [[Cronulla]] and creating the disambiguation page that the original mover believed unnecessary was at [[WP:AWNB]]. Unfortunately, I am on holidays with 100MB/day/device free wifi from the hotel. I ran out of free data after making the moves yesterday, and the "what inks here" page at the time hadn't updated so indicated I had not left a mess. Once I realised and had access to internet from a computer (not phone) again, I was in the process of redressing the remaining links to the disambig page when you undid my moves. I've fixed links to [[Cronulla, New South Wales]], [[Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks]] and [[Cronulla railway station]] - indicating that the suburb is not the only thing people call "Cronulla". --[[User:ScottDavis|Scott Davis]] <sup>[[User talk:ScottDavis|Talk]]</sup> 12:58, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
: Where a page has a large number of incoming links, such a move should be carried out through [[WP:RM]]. Note that just because something is not the only thing that is called by a name does not make the name ambiguous (otherwise [[Australia]] and [[Sydney]] would also be disambiguation pages). Are there any uses of [[Cronulla]] that are not in some way references to the city? [[User:BD2412|<span style="background:gold">'''''bd2412'''''</span>]] [[User talk:BD2412|'''T''']] 13:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
::...and where there is a dispute, the status quo should remain until the dispute is resolved. The main article had been at [[Cronulla, New South Wales]] with a redirect at [[Cronulla]] for many years until about a week ago when a user set about moving many articles with a comment "no requirement for diambig" (sic). This was raised as a concern at [[WP:AWNB]]. My reverting this should not be viewed as "bold". That author has apparently been invited to discuss, with no response. I subsequently created the disambig page and put that at [[Cronulla]], which could be regarded as "bold". Unfortunately, not being able to use popups to fix the links any more, my limited internet access has run out again tonight, and I am not in the mood to fight hard for the naming convention that most Australian towns and suburb article names are qualified by the state. All of the things I am aware of at the moment that are referred to as "Cronulla" have something to do with that place, although that is not universal evidence that the place is the primary use of the term (I suspect in this case, that would be the case, however). --[[User:ScottDavis|Scott Davis]] <sup>[[User talk:ScottDavis|Talk]]</sup> 13:35, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
::: Prior to the creation of the disambig, was [[Cronulla]] a redirect to [[Cronulla, New South Wales]]? A red link? In some instances, it is appropriate for a base page name to redirect to a disambiguated name (as with [[Bothell]] -> [[Bothell, Washington]]).[[User:BD2412|<span style="background:gold">'''''bd2412'''''</span>]] [[User talk:BD2412|'''T''']] 13:41, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
::::Yes, [[Cronulla]] had been a redirect to [[Cronulla, New South Wales]] up until just over a week ago when {{user|TT1245}} moved the article over the redirect, along with about fifty other places that had the same setup. He/she did not change any inbound links, commonscat templates, navboxes, or anything else, just moved the articles with the same (misspelled) description "no requirement for diambig". The two I had moved back, I replaced the redirect with a disambig page that included what I thought of first as the most widely-used use of the term, and any other uses I could think of or find as well. Failing to immediately fix the inbound links was an oversight on my part due to trying to use limited free hotel internet access. --[[User:ScottDavis|Scott Davis]] <sup>[[User talk:ScottDavis|Talk]]</sup> 13:20, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
::::: That is why it came up as a red flag on the disambiguation project. Whether the title should be moved, and whether a longstanding incoming redirect should be changed to a disambiguation page are two different questions. It is reasonable to take such a step where there is a clear absence of a primary topic, but in this case that absence is not so clear.

::::::I ''think'' I did the right thing in both cases that I have addressed (except for failing to disambiguate all the inbound links immediately - I now realise I won't be able to do it properly until Wednesday). [[Minchinbury]] is clearer - the wine and the suburb were both named (in that order) after an older farm in that area, and "Minchinbury Champagne" had a national advertising campaign many years ago, so the word is familiar to most Australians (of my age or older, anyway), but very few outside of Sydney would know it is a suburb. Cronulla is both a well-known beachside suburb of Sydney (used for televised surf lifesaving competitions) and a well-known National Rugby League team (I didn't know it is the Cronulla''-Sutherland'' Sharks until making the disambig page - it's usually just called Cronulla Sharks). I'm happy to go back to the old arrangement where [[Cronulla]] is a redirect to the suburb article if that suits you. --[[User:ScottDavis|Scott Davis]] <sup>[[User talk:ScottDavis|Talk]]</sup> 14:21, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
::::::: I have moved the page back since the previous status quo was to include the state, although I don't think it's necessary.

== Your bot request ==

I have a question.

* I suppose in an ideal world it would check every link, since a dead link is no good even if it isn't tagged. However, we could ''start'' with the tagged links.

:This is a bit canvass-y,  but whatever. BD2412 I don't know if you reviewed the discussion at PraeceptorIP's talk page, but I've raised concerns with him about [[WP:SELFCITE]], [[WP:OR]], and other ways that experts can go astray in WP, as described in our helpful essay [[WP:EXPERT]].  It is great to have someone with PraceptorIP's wealth of experience here, but in my view he needs to get better grounded in our basic content policies as well as what COI means here in WP, which is different than it is out in the RW.  I encountered him first at the Monsanto v Bowman article and again at the GSK article, both of which were already on my watchlist.  I am not following him around.  Some further background -  I divide my time here between working on health content with [{WP:MED]] and biotech (including IP around that) and [[WP: COIN]], where I deal with a lot of experts who want to use WP to promote their own ideas or publications (along with editors who have more commercial COI issues of course).  Sometimes editors I try to work with are very resistant, and sometimes things go quite smoothly.  PraceptorIP does appear to contribute a lot beyond citing his own work and ideas, but his editing appears to include some of that.  After our discussion at his talk page, PraeceptorIP was good enough to propose re-adding his own article on the Talk page of the Bowman article instead of re-adding it directly, so things are moving in the right direction.  I am hopeful they will keep going in that direction.  I don't plan to open a case at COIN at this time to get more community input, but may do so in the future.  If I do, I will raise it and recuse myself, since we've had a content dispute and it is not helpful to mix discussions of COI with content disputes (that may be part of the communication problem here).  Anyway,  that's the story from my end.  
:Oh, and if you could warn GregJackP to stop denigrating me on talk pages, I would appreciate that. (I can provide diffs if you like but you can see it at Bowman, where you weighed in)   He and I got off to a bad start at the [[Bad Elk v.

::Just to clear something up, I notified everyone that had participated in the discussion on the talk page with a neutral statement. That's not canvassing. As far as better grounded? Don't make me laugh. Secondly, I work on legal articles, as you know, and I know how to write them in a neutral manner. That's the only dog I have in this hunt. I'm not a GMO advocate, as Jytdog [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Jytdog&oldid=614828323#My_work_here admits] that he is, all I'm trying to do is to make sure that the article does not misstate the law or the legal debate. As far as the Bad Elk (and [[Plummer v. State]]) article, I don't respond very well to people who do not understand the law or WP policies telling me what I have to do to satisfy their need for control. BTW, he was alone against the consensus there too, despite forum shopping during the dispute.

== Rayleigh II and disambiguation ==

Hey, you completed disambiguation of [[Rayleigh]], great!  I was stumped on the [[Wave field synthesis]] link to Rayleigh, which was labelled Rayleigh II, and which you have directed to [[Rayleigh–Jeans law]].  I puzzled whether it meant Lord Rayleigh's son, also a physicist.  And I searched on "Rayleigh II" within several of the Rayleigh articles.  I suppose you must know stuff that I don't, for you to know to direct it to that law.  But, the [[Rayleigh-Jeans law]] article doesn't mention "Rayleigh II".  Could you say it is an "also known as" for the article title, and add that to the top of the article?  And/or is it the 1905 version, rather than the 1900 version, of Rayleigh's work, and it could be mentioned after sentence: "A more complete derivation, which included the proportionality constant, was presented by Rayleigh and Sir James Jeans in 1905" ?   I am just grasping.  But I assume someone called it "Rayleigh II" at the wave field synthesis article for a reason, and now a reader would follow the link and not see the reason.  

You do great work.  cheers, --[[User:doncram|<span style="color:maroon;">do</span>]][[User talk:Doncram|<span style="color:green;">ncr</span>]][[Special:Contributions/doncram|<span style="color:maroon;">am</span>]] 16:02, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
* Rayleigh II is confusing because it could refer to either the person or the second iteration of the wave scattering law. See, e.g., Ahmet Kondoz, ‎Tasos Dagiuklas, ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=9ilgBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA213&dq=%22Rayleigh+II+integral%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDUQ6AEwBGoVChMI2vPDycLdxgIVxZINCh3o8gLi#v=onepage&q=%22Rayleigh%20II%20integral%22&f=false Novel 3D Media Technologies]'' (2014), p. 213, noting the use of the Rayleigh I and Rayleigh II equations for plotting wave scattering.

**Oh, I was just surmising (incorrectly) that Rayleigh I and Raleigh II refer to the father and son, that was just a first, wild guess.  The father and son have different names, and they are 3rd and 4th barons of Raleigh, so I figured my guess was wrong.
**You do seem to understand a lot.  If you understand enough for you to add mention the Rayleigh I integral and the Rayleigh II integral into the article, I hope that you would.  Do they correspond to the "classically derived Rayleigh–Jeans expression" and "the Rayleigh–Jeans law in the limit of small frequencies" mentioned in the article?  Those terms follow expressions which are not the integral formulas in the Kondoz-Dagiuklas book though.  I guess all this is maybe something to mention at the Talk page, pointing out the [[wave field synthesis]] article's usage and calling for someone else to identify what the Rayleigh II is.  Anyhow, thanks for the chat, have a good day. --[[User:doncram|<span style="color:maroon;">do</span>]][[User talk:Doncram|<span style="color:green;">ncr</span>]][[Special:Contributions/doncram|<span style="color:maroon;">am</span>]] 17:13, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
