Help on a disambiguation page edit

Thank you. I just made an edit that needs to be undone and redone properly... On the James Renwick disambiguation page, I changed James Renwick Sr's title to (engineer) from (physicist)- (Teaching natural philosophy in the early 1800s does not make you a physicist; he was definitely an engineer above all.) Now it, unsurprisingly I suppose but I hadn't thought that far forward, no longer links to the James Renwick (physicist) page. Cestertonio (talk) 20:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has changed it back - you could have done that. The change you want would need to be made first by "moving" the article James Renwick (physicist) to "James Renwick (engineer)" and then adjusting the DAB page; but you had probably better suggest the move on the article talk page and see whether there is consensus for it.

Actually, reading his bio, I'm don't think "engineer" is right - he seems to have Professor of Natural Philosophy, surveyor (on the boundary), biographer and author of books on "natural philosophy" (which I take to be general science), steam engines and geology - a bit of a polymath, in fact. "Scientist"? JohnCD (talk)
Thank you very much. Will do. And yes, polymath is most apt... he helped all his sons advance in the field of engineering, so that's often a focus, but he is best known as a professor. I'll put it to the talk page. Thanks again.Cestertonio (talk) 21:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
