Wasn't aware that linking to a dab page was inappropriate if the appropriate entry in the dab page wasn't one with an article. I do think both of the other Phi Alpha groups are suitable for articles.Naraht (talk) 16:29, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- No worries Naraht. It happens. We're all amateurs here, and there's lots of stuff I find out on a weekly basis. Take care, and have a very Happy New Year. Onel5969 TT me 16:36, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Linking to a dab page this is only appropriate if you don't know which one, right?Naraht (talk) 16:39, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, you should rarely purposefully link to a dab page. Either link to the correct page, or don't link. Off the top of my head the only two real reasons to link to a dab page is in a "hatnote" at the top of an article, directing the reader to multiple other usages of the same term, or similarly, in the "see also" sections of articles, for the same reason. Hope this helps. WP:DDD is a very helpful nutshell on dabs. Onel5969 TT me 16:45, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Brian Brushwood DOES Live in Austin
Hello Onel5969: You recently deleted my addition of Brian Brushwood from the article List of People from Austin, Texas. I understand that you did so in good faith, thinking that he does not live in Austin, but only attended UT Austin. Perhaps you were unaware that he has moved back to Austin, where he lives today. I clumsily added a reference to the article on Brushwood as evidence to support this claim. The article, "UT alumnus shares secrets behind magic tricks on YouTube channel" at http://www.dailytexanonline.com/2015/10/19/ut-alumnus-shares-secrets-behind-magic-tricks-on-youtube-channel contains this phrase: "Until 2014, Brushwood toured colleges across the country with his magic show and has since settled down in Austin". I hope this is satisfactory proof for you and you will add him back to the List. DaKine (talk) 01:48, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Undo of various peoples contributions
Hi,
You've removed a number of contributions people have made, including factual things from an influence section for a popular book series, I'd like to understand what you feel is required in order for these updates and alterations to be re-placed.
I'm referring to your removing factual quotations from books regarding Harry Dresden in the Benedict Jaka - Alex Verus series, and the Orlando Sanchez "Montague and Strong" series.
These sections help readers who appreciate this particular author find other authors who have been influenced by him, and as such may have a similar story style.
LightstarUK (talk) 15:02, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- As per Wikipedia guidelines, unsourced material may be removed at any time. And in one instance, the material was pure conjecture, which should always be removed. Feel free to re-add the non-conjectural material, providing there is a citation from a reliable, secondary source showing the veracity of the assertion. Onel5969 TT me 16:18, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Great Leader
Hiya! Did something go wrong here? (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 23:22, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi The Quixotic Potato - I don't think so... the propaganda page is talking about housing the "Great Leader's" remains, and I pointed to the concept of the Great Leader in North Korea. Do you feel there is a more appropriate link? I could have pointed to Kim Jong-Il, but that is already overlinked, so I thought pointing to the general concept would give the reader more information. Feel free to delink if you think it's inappropriate. Onel5969 TT me 23:30, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- I know very little about disambiguation, but I thought that since the sentence is: "
Although North Korea suffered severe economic hardships in the 1990s, Kim Jong Il had his late father’s Kumsusan Palace extensively renovated to house the Great Leader’s remains, hiring Russian specialists to embalm the corpse for permanent display
" it would make more sense to link to Kim Il-sung (the person who the words "Great Leader" are referring to). Maybe I am wrong. What do you think? (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 23:37, 13 January 2018 (UTC)- Hi again The Quixotic Potato - it would... if it wasn't already linked several times in that paragraph alone. In that instance, the usual circumstance would be to simply delink the dablink (see MOS:DUPLINK). I thought it wouldn't hurt to point to the concept of the great leader in NK, to give readers more information, but as I said above, feel free to delink. Onel5969 TT me 23:55, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Ah ok, makes sense. I think you made the right decision. Like I said before, I know very very little about disambiguation (never even tried it). Thank you! (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 23:58, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- No worries, The Quixotic Potato - I definitely don't think I'm infallible, so always feel free to hit me up with a question about any of my edits. I never really got into de-dabbing until about 4 months ago, other then when I received a message that I had created a dab on a page I created. But feel free to help out on dabs, there are tons out there, and more made every day. I have to fix dabs to New York every day. Onel5969 TT me 00:13, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Coronado Island Film Festival
You flagged the CIFF page I created for General Notability which asks me to cite reliable, independent secondary sources. There are already eight articles from seven sources referenced in the page. This page was flagged last week and it was reapproved by User:Elahrairah after I posted those sources the other day. Are you sure that's what the problem is? Warm Regards, Kire1975 (talk) 07:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- I didn't "approve" anything, I just declined the speedy nomination. That said, there are several reliable sources cited in the article and I'm not sure notability is in question. ElAhrairah inspect damage⁄berate 10:14, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- My apologies, User:Elahrairah. I should have used a different word than improve. I never said I was fluent with very much lingo on these pages, but about notability, I'm pretty sure I'm on solid ground. I've never been flagged so much before in my life. This is confusing and frustrating. Warm regards. Kire1975 (talk) 10:56, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Kire1975 - For organizations and corporations, which a festival would fall under, there is also the concept of depth of coverage, see WP:ORGDEPTH. All but two of the sources are either linked to the festival, or are local coverage. While the Maltin piece is a nice article, the other from The Wrap is little more than regurgitated press releases. A hint on how to recognize that is that whenever a "news" article includes lines like, "Visit the Coronado Island Film Festival website for Festival Pass purchases," you know it's pretty much regurgitated from a press release. There's a Hollywood Reporter article out there which is very much along the same vein. It might be notable, but I went through the first 150 or so hits on Google News, and couldn't find a single in-depth story about the festival not from a local source. That's not conclusive... for example the Maltin piece didn't come up in the first 150 or so hits, so there very well might be other reliable sources. I tagged it for notability since I couldn't find any more of those reliable sources, but I think it might meet gng, so I didn't propose it on AfD. Hope this helps.

Reverting to old version...
I finally found someones response to my post (since it was deleted by the time I could look for it and then finally tracked it down)
Someone responded:
Wiki Page Update keeps reverting back to old version Several times I've updated the Prescott Valley, AZ Government Wiki Page, so it is completely updated (mostly whole thing has been changed). It looks updated, then next time I look, it's reverted back to an old version (but does show the updated pics). I've done this two or three times now, re-editing all the sections, and it just won't keep the updates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hldahms (talk • contribs) 18:34, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
@Hldahms: you might want to go to en:WP:AN instead. Artix Kreiger 2 (talk) 19:08, 11 January 2018 (UTC) Not a Commons issue, not an Admin issue, but I hope no one will mind if I answer the question where it was asked. @Hldahms: See https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Prescott_Valley,_Arizona&action=history for the history of edits on that article. en:User:Onel5969 reverted you, with a rather clear explanation: "Rev commentary, non-notable folks." If you feel that's wrong, either take it up on the article's talk page or the user's. - Jmabel ! talk 19:43, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
The wiki pages I found, led me to the admin report page, so seemed to be a admin issue, even if server admin issue; since it keeps getting reverted. Also, I do not understand the comment of "Rev commentary, non-notable folks." since it is an update to a very old version. Plus I never got to see what your "rather clear explanation" post was. Could you post it on my talk page, so that I can read it? (unless it was the two pic copyright issue, but I don't think so, because I've already written that individual). All we want to do is update the Wiki page.
Thank you for your help. Hldahms (talk) 19:37, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Hldahms - There are several issues. First, I reverted your edits several times for two reasons. First, a lot of it is POV commentary, with sentences like, "a growing, thriving town..." and "a large number of excellent sports fields." Other issues are you continue to add non-notable folks. Rule of thumb is that if someone doesn't have their own Wikipedia page, they are not notable (WP has a very low threshold for notability). Third, those non-notable additions had assertions which were completely uncited. Fourth, and this has nothing to do with me, but it looks like you attempted to upload two pics which were copyright violations and have since been deleted. Hope this helps.

Violence and attacks
Hello. One note about your recent categorization edits. [1] I think, not each "violence" is "attack". But each "attack" is "violence". So, Category:Attacks should be the subcategory of Category:Violence, but not vice versa. The same problem is related to the subcategories by countries.

Plz Help Me On Draft:Adhyaan Joy Chakraborty 14:21, 23 January 2018 (UTC) |
- Thanks Zx24 - what would help is if you translated the references into English. Even though they are in a foreign language, the actual citation should be in English. This gives us a chance to evaluate the source. Initially, when Robert McClenon declined your draft, he was absolutely right (in my opinion), because the draft was very poorly sourced. Not speaking Bengali, I have no idea if these new sources (other than The Times of India) are reliable, independent sources. I can tell you that imdb isn't reliable, and the other two which I can read, Sholoanabangaliana.in and gdn8.com, most likely don't go to notability. Sholoanabangaliana.in, in particular does not publish its editorial policy, so it might not be a reliable source. On the surface, not sure if it is a blog or what. The Times article also doesn't help his notability, as it does not cover him in-depth. To show notability, you need several in-depth articles about him, from independent reliable sources. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 14:33, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
Maryvale
If the cited material is inaccurate, then I believe removing it is the best thing to do. Maryvale is not an unincorporated place. It is an Urban Village of Phoenix. The City of Phoenix's website clearly states so. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 00:14, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Also, Glendale alone, according to this City of Phoenix data page, is bigger in population than Maryvale. Therefore, the assertion that Maryvale's population is bigger than Glendale and Avondale, combined, is untrue. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 00:26, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Kiteinthewind - You would be correct if you were correct. But according to GNIS (see here]), it is a populated place. Also, the addition of the "overview" section is not as per mos, so please refrain from doing so. And not sure what you're talking about regarding population, since Glendale and Avondale are not urban villages. Feel free to add other cited material back in, but don't include it in erroneous deletions. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 02:44, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- The GNIS page that was cited above dates back to February 8, 1980. I believe when we have current materials from the City of Phoenix that attests to Maryvale being an Urban village of Phoenix (as seen here), we should yield to more curent materials. As for the overview section, since it contains a legally defined urban village area for Maryvale, I think we should let it stay, but retitle it. I am not here to start a fight, rather, let's find up-to-date sources. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 03:01, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- I've incorporated the fact that Maryvale is both a populated area and an urban village, with cites. Also, the overview section was incorporated into the intro text. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 03:22, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter when the GNIS page is from. Period. Census figures should always be from the census bureau. Period. It doesn't really matter what you think about the overview section, there are guidelines and that isn't one of them. Some of the additions you've made are good, and after the last round I went back and made the effort to include them. The fact that it is one of 15 urban villages is incorporated and attested. Onel5969 TT me 04:30, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- The cite you removed with your last edit was a wayback machine archived version of the same page that was cited (which is now dead). I think deliberately citing a dead link does nothing to improve a page. You said figures should always come from the US Census, but figures from that document do come from the US Census ([2] read: Source: City of Phoenix Planning & Development Research Team, Maricopa Assoc. of Governments (MAG) & U.S. Census Bureau et al. "Census Summary File 1 from Block Group Scale Geography." Washington, D.C. April 1, 2010. Date Created: February 16, 2012). I am going to replace the cite with what I added in there. While I am going to AGF, I must say, with all due respect, that the last revert you made was counterproductive, and contradicts what you stated as the reason for the reversion. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 04:43, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- You are in violation of WP:3RR, might I suggest you self-revert? Your first mention of the dead link is a valid point, but you find the fitting census source to update it, not put in something not in line with consensus as the source to use for census figures. Your editing of the lead shows a clear lack of understanding of WP:LEAD. Take care. Onel5969 TT me 11:48, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- Then I suggest we actually collaborate to improve the article, which also involves you looking for sources, instead of this current “revert only” approach that you have adopted. I must point out that in your previous efforts to revert the changes I have made, you have erased other contributions that led to a degrading of quality of the article. While I have no intention to OWN, I see no point in erasing other non-controversial edits over the point you illustrated. At this point, I must point out that based on my opinion, the multiple reversions done by you is approaching the point of point-illustrating, which may, in this case, be a TE violation. I have already stated that the source I replaced contains US census figures, and also comes from the polity that rules Maryvale. That means the source is reliable (as in it comes from an authoritative source ie the city, and has basis in the census), and should be included. I urge you to please start contributing to this article. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 16:09, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi, OneL! I granted a short protection of the article - more for the edit warring than the material itself, because it seems that some of their material is constructive and sourced. But I have a bad feeling about that whole scenario, because of that proposed addition on the talk page. You turned it down as unsourced. But there may be a bigger problem. The inclusion of a [4] (like a footnote) is sometimes a giveaway that the material was copied from somewhere. I couldn’t find anything in a quick search, but it bears investigating for copyvio. There is also the possibility that the IP is really the same COI person. --MelanieN (talk) 02:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi MelanieN - The ip is almost certainly the same person. When the article was created back in June 2017, the ip and the editor "Paul Coleman", were making the same types of edits (along with the associated article, Peter Coleman (sailor)). And they tended to edit war back then, with several different editors. But I don't see where their additions were sourced at all. If you look at this version, prior to their edits, and compare it to this version, after their edits, there is no additional sourcing. I agree with you regarding copyvio. But I can't find much on the subject. Thanks for the note.Onel5969 TT me 03:56, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Moving The Bloodline to Dirge Within
Hi there, I tried to move "The Bloodline (band)" to "Dirge Within", but got a message saying:
"You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reason:
The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid.

Not too sure how to use the Requested moves page. Can you please help me out with this? TheSickBehemoth (talk) 15:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi TheSickBehemoth - You can have it done one of two ways. Either ask an admin directly, if you have a relationship with one (I'm not, so I can't do it for you), or list your request at Wikipedia:Requested moves. A third way is to tag it for speedy deletion (the redirect), using the WP:G6 criteria for a non-controversial move. Once the redirect is deleted, you can move the article, which will then automatically create the correct redirect. (by the way, this last route is the one I usually take) Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 15:32, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

It looks like there's a certain way to add as discussion to the Requested moves page, but I am not sure how to do it, as I cannot just edit the page and list my inquiry. Also, I am not sure how to tag an article for speedy deletion. Can you please help with this? I am open with either option. TheSickBehemoth (talk) 16:38, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Janamejaya I
Hi,
I don't think this article should be deleted. As I mentioned in the talk page of the article, there are two Janamejayas and this is about the one who preceded the other. To help people understand better, I have even created a disambiguation page. I am not sure what the process is to de-nominate this article now for not getting deleted. I can provide links to the proof of the existence of two kings. The original article "Janamejaya" had confusing write-up as it tends to treat both the kings as one and is not correct.
Hnaluru (talk) 13:12, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hnaluru - Sorry, I disagree, the newly created article basically has the same facts as the original article. Not two distinct individuals. Same father, same stuff with the snakes. Onel5969 TT me 13:15, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
No, There are no snakes involved with the first Janamejaya. He performed an Ashvamedha Sacrifice, whereas the second had performed the snake sacrifice. snake sacrifice is because Parikshit II died from a snake bite and his son is infuriated. The former one is not said to have performed this.
Regarding the names, yes - the tradition in India is the name of the first born will have the name of the grandfather normally if the grandfather died by the time the grandson is born. Check other dynasties that have repetitive father-son names.
Also, you can refer to the below book for more information which talks about the differences between the two. https://books.google.co.in/books?id=z3ksBrWoZm0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=vedic+civilization&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj-no_O54TZAhXGT7wKHcCuAlsQ6AEIKDAA Hnaluru (talk) 13:24, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- You're right about the snakes, I misspoke... but the new article refers to him as the starter of the Ashvamedha tradition, where the Ashvamedha article doesn't mention him at all. In its current state, the newer article does not show the difference, with citations, between the two. My suggestion is to have it moved to draft, and work on it until it is much more fleshed out, with stuff like dates, etc. Onel5969 TT me 13:31, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

FYI
Hello O. I hope you are well. I saw Dawson City: Frozen Time last night. It is a fascinating film. The balance between straight documentary and art film is like nothing I've seen. While I don't expect anyone to like it as much as I do it is worth seeing for anyone with an interest in film history - and several other histories for that matter :-) Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 20:16, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi MarnetteD, thanks for the heads-up. I am not a huge documentary fan, but will check this one out. It's a small world. One of the ventures I've been involved in over the years were mining operations in Canada. My partner in that venture (and we're still partners in several mining things), was actually in Dawson during that period doing placer mining from 1976-1979 (before moving onto South America in 1980). When we were re-opening a platinum mine near the Bering Straight in 2007, we found a stash of old films from the 1940s-1960s, and he related to me the story about the discovery of those films back in the 60s. We only found about 60 or so, and most were newsreels, but there were a few films. Unfortunately, the container they had been stored in had cracked over the years, letting in water, and only the labels were still vaguely legible. The films themselves were lost. Onel5969 TT me 20:42, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yowza that is an extraordinary coincidence O. Thanks for sharing that. There is so much more to this film than my (or anyone else's that I've read) words can express. I hope you find it interesting. MarnetteD|Talk 20:50, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

jaiswal
how can u revert the changes... I had given true reference... that book which I give as a reference is published by Indian government anthropological department which they conducted as survey.. now Wikipedia had become more reliable than government survey.. jaiswal kalwar r not in reservation till 2003 and we r in general still in some states like West bangal Assam etc and kalchuri r not included in 36 rajput clan and no rajput have any knowledge about kalchuri... there r still family which have rajput link like Aditya vikram jaiswal grandson of rai bahadur jaiswal..go wiki page of prithviraj raso it itself says surprisingly kalchuri abhira r also added to 36 rajputs clan. by the way there r judgements of British Era which confirm our kshtriya status but I cannot disclose as that will dent our reservation status... kalchuri had been different from rajputs as they had some jain history and some anti brahmin history too... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Highsky6252 (talk • contribs) 13:59, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- In a word, no. Simply linking to a google books link is not a valid reference. In addition, your edit was part of a larger addition of unsourced material. Onel5969 TT me 14:08, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
thanks
Thank you for all the work you've done.
Steinwerder
Hi, I see you deleted my article on Steinwerder. In my innocence I had assumed that, as a quarter of Hamburg-Mitte it would automatically be a notable place. Indeed it is the only quarter of Hamburg-Mittel without an article of its own on the English Wikipedia and of course it does have an article on the German Wikipedia. Its history is dominated by the Blohm+Voss shipbuilders, so this was necessarily reflected in my article. What kinds of additional sources would be needed - as a minimum - to allow say tagging it with a {{refimprove}}
rather than summarily deleting it? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 18:57, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
You might also like to respond constructively at Talk:Hamburg-Mitte#Steinwerder, where others can see your opinions for themselves. That might include why well over 2,000,000 Google hits on "Steinwerder" do not at least suggest notability. I look forward to a reply as prompt as your deletion was. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:33, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
BTW, you can find my current draft at User:Steelpillow/test2. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:44, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Steelpillow - First, I did not delete the article. Merely redirected it. Presence on other wikis is irrelevant, has most have much lower standards than English Wikipedia regarding notability. Google hits is even less relevant. What you need are in-depth citations from independent, reliable sources to show notability. Regarding other info on the page (like the shipbuilder), can be from non-independent sources, as long as it's not promotional. For example, you could cite the history page on the shipbuilder's website if you wanted to include some history of the shipbuilder as it relates to the quarter. The article, Ahwatukee, Phoenix, is a pretty good example of city neighborhood article. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 19:49, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
14:50:22, 22 February 2018 review of submission by Complexityfelicity
Dear reviewer,
Thank you for the feedback on the article that I have been trying to submit. I have now tried everything I could to fix the issues that have been pointed out but still not sure if it's ready for another submission. Is there anything else you could think of that needs to be improved? Many, many thanks!

Input
How's it going?
As someone who's contributed to discography pages, I was wondering if you'd care to put some input in this discussion. --Blastmaster11 (talk) 21:01, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
a suspicion
It is a random suspicion, but I think the anonymous editor (2405:204:210B:9DB1:C5F7:DF4D:9023:607B) who added Gandhi and Amit Shah to List of Jains might actually be Amit Shah. What is more amusing is the book that he cites to prove Amit Shah is Jain seems to be a three page pamphlet/self-published $1 ebook about...the life of Amit Shah. Wouldn't surprise me if it was ghost written by Amit Shah. Amatyaugrasen might be the same guy. Thanks for beating me to the revert on the Gandhi edit.

Happy St. David's Day
The leek is one of the national emblems of Wales, worn along with the daffodil (in Welsh, the daffodil is known as "Peter's leek", Cenhinen Bedr) on St. David's Day. According to one legend, King Cadwaladr of Gwynedd ordered his soldiers to identify themselves by wearing the vegetable on their helmets in an ancient battle against the Saxons that took place in a leek field.[1] Cheers!‑ ‑ Gareth Griffith‑Jones The Welsh Buzzard ‑ ‑ 15:55, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Simona Fusco
While your critique of the biographical page was appreciated, there are 13 citations that speak to the tone of the article, which was not intended to be promotional, in and of itself. It is always appreciated to be extended an opportunity to improve the page or ask for assistance, rather than delete it entirely along with the draft. Please cite examples of where you deem the article promotional and allow it to be improved upon. Thanks for your kind considerationMonologuebaby (talk) 21:13, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi. First, it's polite to leave a link to the page you're discussing. Second, almost every single line in the article was promotional, rather than simply informational. The article has already been deleted, so I can't provide exact verbiage/examples, but this is the 8th time a page about this person has been deleted. In fact there was an AfD a while ago. Onel5969 TT me 21:19, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep your nonsense off my page. Either be civil, or be gone. I didn't delete the article. I marked it for deletion and another editor felt exactly the same way and deleted it. Totally promotional articles don't warrant an advert cleanup. That's when an article has certain aspects which are promotional, but can be salvaged. The article which was written had virtually nothing which could be saved, and is about an individual of dubious notability. Please don't contact me again, any future messages you leave will be summarily deleted. Onel5969 TT me 22:28, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation of Lev Leviev
Hi Onel5969,
I just saw this edit, which disambiguated Lev Leviev to someone who is AFAIK unrelated to Africa–Israel, instead of Africa–Israel's chairman. Was this intentional?
—Ynhockey (Talk) 07:29, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Ynhockey - No, it wasn't intentional, as he's already linked earlier in the article. Meant to unlink the overlink, not sure how I mis-clicked. Thanks for catching it. Onel5969 TT me 18:05, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
Huh?
What was your reasoning for this? I assume you looked at the page history; so please explain in at least as much detail as I did. Thanks. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:01, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi R'n'B - sure thing. First, it was an uncited stub, which I almost always feel are better served as a redirect, or in this case a dab. Second, it was part of a series of pages about Philippine highways, which had all recently been created, and which were also dabs, so I felt it best to make it conform. Third, other than a definition intro, the only content of the page where two entries which both referred to the constituent portions of the roadway. It could definitely be turned into an article, as Certes did with N62 highway (Philippines), and it probably should, but I felt in its current condition a dab was more warranted. Hope that explains it. And nice work on the dabs, btw. Onel5969 TT me 22:27, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping. A pile of Philippine road dabs has just appeared and I'm looking at those with incoming links. As I mentioned to the author, I think they should be (possibly trivial) articles rather than dabs. N64 was top of my to-do list but it's bedtime here so it'll need to wait until tomorrow unless someone else has the time and inclination to fix it. Certes (talk) 23:36, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
- I've created a couple of barely notable stubs at N64 highway (Philippines) and N231 highway (Philippines), and updated {{Philippine highway network}} to link to them directly. The author of the dabs hasn't edited since, so it may have been a one-off burst of enthusiasm which is now tidied up. Certes (talk) 11:17, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Certes - Nicely done nicely! Onel5969 TT me 12:32, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
Favor
Whenever you create an article about an American movie, you should be sure to use the category "American films." All American films are to have that category, regardless of whether or not a more specific one exists. Thank you for your time. Scorpions13256 (talk) 22:20, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

PC (disambiguation)
I noticed your edit where you changed a link to PC to PC (disambiguation), which actually redirects back to the PC article, so it was kind of pointless. It looks like you used something called Dispenser to make the edit. Well I just wanted to let you know about the error so you could report it if it was a bug in the tool or something.
