Thanks for cleaning up P1 so speedily

I wanted to you thank you for nicely organizing the disambig page P1 so quickly after I stuck the cleanup tag on it - it is certainly much easier to navigate now! Back when I was really active doing disambiguation work, Category:Disambiguation_pages_in_need_of_cleanup had hundreds of pages... I just checked it out, and the idea that 10 pages is a backlog is funny to me remembering the past, but really speaks to how well things are being taken care of. So, thanks! -- Natalya 19:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks for your kind words Nataly! I have a lot of fun with disambiguation pages. There were over 40 on Category:Disambiguation_pages_in_need_of_cleanup when I first found it, and I started going through them. I figured the best way to learn is to get in there and do it. I have stepped on a few toes along the way, but I learn quickly from my mistakes. I think it is one of my favorite things to deal with on Wikipedia. Best Regards, JMax (Okay, tell me. What'd I do this time?) 21:12, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

You are most welcome. Disambiguation pages are pretty fun - I hope you continue to enjoy your work with them! -- Natalya

Well, if I knew what else is wrong, I would have fixed it myself :) My main concern is with using the redirects, which is why I wanted someone experienced with dab cleanups to look at that page. Here you can find the discussion that lead to me adding a cleanup tag; please let me know if anything there is unclear.

Also, on an unrelated note, I re-instated the nav template which you removed. While you are correct to have removed it on the MOS grounds, the template on this dab page is not a permanent fixture—once all of its entries are properly converted into set indices, the problem will resolve itself.

I hope this leaves us with no hard feelings towards one another. I do, incidentally, appreciate your attempt to do a cleanup, and you have caught the most obvious problems with that page. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 27, 2011; 18:48 (UTC)

No, I don't get bent out of shape easily, especially on DAB pages. There are so many out there to be fixed that I can always move on to something else. I believe I have fixed your problems with the links to redirects. After reading your discussion I agree that the links should be moved from the redirects to the direct links to articles. As far as the nav template is concerned; I don't feel strongly about it one way or another; it is no big problem for me for it to be there. Please take a look at Alexandrovsk again. I think the way it is now should meet everyone's needs. Let me know if you have any other concerns, I'll be happy to help or willing to learn; whichever is called for.

Disambiguation pages

Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you've been doing since you started editing, and you seem to have started on quite neglected areas. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 19:28, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Boleyn! I appreciate your comment. I am still learning, but having fun along the way. Before I moved to South America, I worked in libraries for over 10 years in Oklahoma, USA, so disambiguation pages are great diversion for my OC self while I sit here in my small Amazon Jungle store waiting for customers to come buy pop and snacks from me. At least I'm never bored! Regards, JMax (Okay, tell me. What'd I do this time?) 20:03, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Wow, quite a change! You might also enjoy working on stuff like as well then, it's a similar area but has less people in it. They're both areas where you can do a quick edit here and there between customers. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 17:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
