WRB

I note that you removed the link to Damon Knight. Ironically, the only article which already linked to "WRB" was "Off Center", a 1965 collection by guess who. DS (talk) 22:32, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I hadn't noticed that, only that the Damon Knight article had no mention of it. older ≠ wiser 23:08, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Urusov

Hello! Thanks for help on Urusov articles. Still I question the move from a disambiguation page to a list of surnames, as both the princely house is listed, and perhaps most importantly, a place name. This doesn't fit into a template of surnames.--Simen113 (talk) 15:58, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Euclides (disambiguation)

Hi Bkonrad,

You have deleted the disambiguation page Euclides (disambiguation) without a prior discussion which I have requested of you, as follows:

(Deletion log); 00:11 . . Bkonrad (talk | contribs) deleted page Euclides (disambiguation) ‎(This entire page is unnecessary duplication of Euclid (disambiguation))

As a philosopher, I have just researched Euclides of Megara. Based on the vast majority of many references, I discovered that the Wikipedia entries were obsolete, still following 1911 conventions. After I've corrected the mistake, now you have decided without discussion that you know better than all the philosophy books written on Ancient Greek History, and deleted the needed disambiguation page.

Please Explain! ~~ BlueMist (talk) 04:34, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
