Help on resolving issues on the

Hi Boleyn, I've revised the

Hi, Boleyn: I spotted this and my first instinct was to unspeedy it as a being useful dab and obviously the result of work spent on disentangling similarly-named people. But on looking further, the computer programmer had only one incoming redlink, and that was as the author of a reference, so he seemed unlikely ever to have an article - I unlinked him. The composer's redlinks could then all have been changed to the base name, but it didn't seem worth the effort. I've added him to the dab page at Jeffrey, and made Geoffrey into a redirect there, with a note on the talk page of the redirect. I hope you're happy with this lot.

Your deletion

Could you please explain why you deleted my reference to Anthony Campbell (Welsh physician) on this disambiguation page My reference to the BBC website makes it pretty obvious that he is not the same person as the other Anthony Campbell who is also a physician. I also included his birth date, as per MOS:D. The only reason I can think of is that there were no links to him. Thanks Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:06, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and sorry I didn't leave an edit summary. References and external links don't belong on

MOS:DABMENTION, but this entry didn't meet these when I checked (unless I missed something). Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 08:58, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

Hi. What part of the
MOS:DABMENTION do they not meet? The only reason I can think of is that there were no links to the scientist in question; is that correct? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 04:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

Hello. It didn't meet any part of them. There was a blue link to an article which didn't mention him (

notable, you could probably find an article where you could add a mention of him, or better yet create a short article with a reference. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 08:05, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply
]

I left a link to the University's article on him for the sole purpose that any reasonable editor would follow it and realise that Professor Anthony Campbell exists and that the disambiguation reference to him was bona fide, relevant and a good addition to Wkipedia. I've just double checked the link I left and it works fine - a direct link to the article on him. To say that my link didn't mention him' is untrue. The whole article is about him:
"Professor Anthony Campbell had the idea of replacing radioactivity in immunoassay and DNA technology by a chemical reaction that makes light - chemiluminescence. This invention has now transformed clinical diagnosis, and is a world leading technology, now used in several 100 million clinical tests per year, world-wide." I would have expected you or another to have deleted the link as soon as you had verified it, as it was obviously a temporary measure. But you also decided to delete the reference to Professor Anthony Campbell. Rushing in to delete people's contributions has a very negative effect on the community and I ask you to think twice in doing so again. In future, please also detail exactly which part of the
MOS:DABMENTION you are using, when doing so. It was my intention to follow up the disambiguation link with an article. I will now leave that to others. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 17:52, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply
]

The article that didn't mention him was, if I remember rightly, a link to a WP article on a town. As I said before, links to external articles don't belong on disambiguation pages.

MOS:D: Never include external links, either as entries or in descriptions. Disambiguation pages disambiguate Wikipedia articles, not the World-Wide Web. References should not appear on disambiguation pages. Dab pages are not articles. Those are the guidelines, and if you object to them (which it is your right to do) you could start a discussion at the talk page of Wikiproject Disambiguation. It is a shame that you seem to have taken this personally and sent me these negative messages. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 17:59, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply
]

Many thanks for the explanation to my original question "Could you please explain why you deleted my reference to Anthony Campbell". My link was: this one and as you will verify, it is NOT "a link to a WP article on a town." You will find this link on this disambiguation page. Please confirm that my link was to the article on Prof Anthony Campbell (scientist). I have no objection to the "guidelines" and have given you my reasons for including these temp. refs, which were ignored, or wrongly followed to some unknown "town" webpage. Can I now suggest that you undo your deletion, as it is obvious that Campbell merits a listing on the disambiguation page. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 10:53, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The link to a WP article on a town/area in the entry was

Hello Boleyn. You've asked for this to be deleted as a G6. I assume that

Cameron Hall (Virginia) (not a person) where basketball is played. This arena is one of the options in the DAB at Cameron Hall. Do you feel that this potential conflict is too minor to worry about? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 02:28, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

I do.

Cameron Hall (basketball, born 1957) for two years now. A hatnote would probably eliminate any confusion, though. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 07:58, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply
]

OK with me. A hatnote may be unnecessary. Some other admin did the G6 and I have since tried to update
Cameron Hall (basketball, born 1957)? When you type 'Cameron Hall' in the WP search box you now see both Cameron Hall (basketball) and Cameron Hall (basketball, born 1957). This might give the searcher the impression that they are two separate people. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:54, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

Thanks for that. The redirect should probably be deleted then, I guess it serves no purpose and could confuse readers. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 08:45, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Daryl Dixon

Why did you remove the tag on Daryl Dixon? Do you have the authority to disallow my original request? Barsoomian (talk) 17:45, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Barsoomian. The reason I removed it was given in the edit summary. As to whether I have the authority, yes, any user has the authority to remove it. A speedy deletion tag suggests it is 'uncontroversial', so anyone can object. It is only an AfD tag that can't be removed. I have also added 2 entries. You could still take it to AfD (although there would be no chance of it being deleted). Alternatively you could put in a move request saying that you feel the Walking Dead character is the primary. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 17:52, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Now I'd have to waste hours of time to navigate the maze of jargon and bureaucracy to clear this up. The only other "Daryl Dixon" article is an orphan article created by the subject, that probably should have been deleted immediately it was created. Barsoomian (talk) 18:03, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Barsoomian. You certainly wouldn't have to spend hours moving the page. I added a {notability} tag to the economic writer's article as you were concerned about his notability. If you feel confident it should be deleted, you might consider

prodding (nominating the article for deletion). As for nominating the fictional character as the primary, you could add the issue to [[1]] and then an admin will look into it for you, it wouldn't take long. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 18:09, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

Ann Taylor disambiguation

Is the argument that Anne Taylor is NOT currently notable, but may become notable? And therefore deserves a red link here? According to Netball and the Olympic Movement, she is someone appointed by a Netball Federation to study Olympic guidelines, which doesn't strike me as notable. Horstvonludwig (talk) 20:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

mention of them within a WP article. If there is a mention of them within WP, then a link is added to the disambiguation page, so that if someone is looking that person up, they can find all there is on the person (even if that's finding out that there's not much). Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 09:46, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply
]

You obviously have more experience with these pages than me but,

MOS:DABRL
does specify:

Do not create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or are likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics.

Since an Anne Taylor article is unlikely to be written, I read that as meaning there should not be a red link here for this non-notable person. Of course, as an admitted exclusionist, if the WP guidelines are contradictory, I am always on the side of deletion. Horstvonludwig (talk) 14:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do understand your point, but those guidelines are about whether her name is made a redlink or left black (with a blue link later in the line), not about whether the entry is added at all (e.g Ann Taylor, librarian, see [x], or [Ann Taylor (librarian)], see [x]). It is a redlink in an article, so somebody has deemed her to meet the guidelines for creating a redlink. I tend to think that if they are already a redlink in an article, then adding a redlink on the dab isn't really 'creating' a redlink to the person, because they are already redlinked on WP, but that's just my interpretation. Either way, I would redlink it unless I'd looked seriously into the person and was sure they weren't notable, and then I'd also remove the redlink in the article which mentions her. She would still be a valid addition to a dab though. Taking it all into account, I agree with MOS:DABMENTION, but if you disagree strongly it may be worth discussing at Wikiproject:Disambiguation. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 14:36, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I take your point. So, my "battle" would be with the author(s) of the

MOS:DABRL, not you. Cheers, Horstvonludwig (talk) 15:26, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply
]

Hopefully no need for battles! :) If you've looked carefully into it and feel the link in the article should be removed, then remove it, or start a discussion on the article's Talk page. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 16:57, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm SarahStierch. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Whittingstall, and have un-reviewed it again. If you've got any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Thanks, SarahStierch

Hello, this was a page that I had created rather than reviewed, and was still under construction. It wouldn't have been OK in its condition when you looked at it. It is now complete. Best wishes and thanks for looking at it and letting me know, Boleyn (talk) 20:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)I was curious about this so followed the link... and am still puzzled.
Looking again,
WP:MOSDAB of course doesn't apply but the lead line needs to be altered from "F-W may refer to" to "F-W is a surname...". Will do that. There's scope for a lot of confusion between dab pages and surname pages, but I think this is the right solution here. PamD 09:40, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply

And I've now created a stub about the tennis-player's artist husband Edmund Owen Fearnley-Whittingstall (her first of 4 it seems, according to the fascinating unreliable source I found at http://www.tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=425294 !). Really must get on with some non-wiki real life stuff now... it's so easy to get led into interesting pathways. PamD 10:38, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As you put in your later message, it is a surname page so

Whittingstall's is a valid redirect, I don't see it does any harm and may be helpful. I don't tend to look at the redirect / page name and anaylse it when working on dabs / surname pages, I just reflect what's already been put there. As for adding dates etc., I think sending me a message asking me to do that is a bit pitnickity. Personally, I don't think it's hugely useful on a dab unless the entries can easily be confused. The guidelines say pages should have it, but pages don't need to start off with everything fully formed, and it's not an aspect I personally choose to always include - I spend too much time here as it is. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 16:54, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply

I suspect it's on your watchlist, but I made some fairly hefty revisions on this page so flagging it as a courtesy. I think the list should focus only on mistresses and alleged mistresses - other women Henry was somehow associated wirth is going to get very long.

The Saluting Marine

I'm not as frequent of an "Editor" as I used to be, so I've forgotten a lot. There was/is a reference on my account's "Alerts" section, saying that you had questioned the Notability of "The Saluting Marine". Huh.

He has set quite an example that I understand has been followed at various national cemeteries and other relevant locations.

Our own local National Cemetery now typically has one such veteran who salutes the entire day while we civilians pass him by (on relevant federally-observed holidays).

I'd say that's rather relevant.

Notice

The article Richard Dalby (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

per

hatnotes and, although the dab page lists a third entry, "See also": Ric Dalby, this fictional character who appeared on the soap opera Home and Away
from 2004 to 2008, was actually named Eric "Ric" Dalby, not Richard.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be

deleted for any of several reasons
.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 20:32, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Need of dispute resolution/moderation

Hi, i know this is not the correct channel for requesting opinion of a third editor in resolving an article related dispute but I hope you will help me resolve this issue. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hizbul_Mujahideen#Pakistan's_ISI_supports_the_outfit. This is the talk page discussion I created to resolve a matter relating to repeated edit reverts done by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kashmiri to the article

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hizbul_Mujahideen

I will request you to please take cognizance of this dispute and continue the discussion on the article talk page. I am also attaching links to the discussion I have had with the editor mentioned above to help you understand the matter well. I hope you will take this submission in good faith. Thank you https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kashmiri#Hizbul_Links_with_Pak_ISI https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AnadiDoD#May_2020

Hi,
AnadiDoD. This topic is not one I know much on, and I'm not an admin; I'm sorry but I don't think my opinion would be very helpful here as I don't know enough. You may want to post at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard, as you will be able to get someone better than me to help. Good luck, Boleyn (talk) 07:56, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Thanks

Thanks so much, this is a great reference for me for possible future similar editions. --37.35.185.168 (talk) 12:56, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chapinero Alto

Hi Boleyn, just a question... under what part of

WP:GEOLAND do you think the above article meets the criteria? Having lived in this very sector of Bogota, I am of the opinion that it's an unofficial name for the neighborhood... I don't even agree with the boundaries thrown up by Google Maps, and I doubt most Bogotanos would agree with them either. Being a Londoner, I get that in cities like London and New York, there are specific delineated boundaries for certain named neighborhoods, usually marked by ward boundaries or voting neighborhoods. I don't think this is the case in Bogota, though – I think it's done purely by the localidad (the equivalent of a NYC or London borough) – but I'll see if I can find any documentation that splits these localidades up further.

Hi, user:Richard3120, it sounds like you know more than me on this one - you may want to consider AfD. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 07:57, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, I just wanted your interpretation of the situation. It's not urgent, so I'll wait until I can find out the legal status of the area. In any case, it's almost certainly never going to improve beyond the current one-line stub – it's a quiet residential area with no distinguishing buildings or landmarks, so I don't know what could be added to the article.

Nomination for AfD?

I think we need an AfD for

Dream Ballet (the musical number from Oklahoma!, as opposed to Dream ballet which is an OK article about the genre). See the Talk page there for more info. If you agree, would you start the AfD? I see that you have nominated AfDs before. Please let us know if you do, at the Talk:Dream Ballet talk page. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:33, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Unreferenced

Hi! Just a note re this edit. Tagging an article with {{unreferenced}} is often a judgement call, and it's not just a matter of whether it's got a "References" section or not. There's some relevant discussion in this thread, but factors to take into account are article size (tagging short articles is seldom helpful), and whether there might be references presented in a different fashion (say, as part of an "External links" section). I'm not saying that tagging this particular article was wrong, but just pointing out things that might be relevant. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 22:38, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Although the information in the wikiarticle about this author (me) is not up to date, I am a real author and don't merit deletion, please. Please add this link: https://www.amazon.com/Dan-Thompson/e/B07MBRVRTC to my author page on Amazon which has my updated bio and credits thanks! email me questions: [email protected] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.11.44 (talk) 04:50, 18 May 2020 (UTC) Hello. I have no doubt you're a real author, which is a great achievement. Articles are added to Wikipedia if they meet

WP:GNG; if you think there are sources to meet that criteria, then by all means look to improve the article. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 18:50, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Hi, thanks for doing this - as it's no longer a dab it redirect to, it is pointless and possibly confusing. Boleyn (talk) 16:09, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Accessing files on Wikicommons.from Wikipedia

I have a certain file on Wikipedia and an updated version on Wikicommons.

How does one access the commons file from wikipedia? Presumably there is some kind of prefix that does this? Wimbledon32 (talk) 10:16, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
