Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Wikipedia Editor Retention Project )

- As a 6-year veteran editor with over a 150,000 edits, Boleyn has quietly been creating tons and tons of disambiguation pages. This is an important area of work, but it doesn't generally get much attention, so Boleyn is probably well overdue for a bit of recognition. After all, users who faithfully work to improve the encyclopedia — yet don't get very much of the limelight — are the people that this award was designed for.

Hello!
You are the disambiguation guru. It used to be piped links were discouraged on disambiguations pages. That made sense to me. Is that still what is recommended? HMS Toronto has several piped links. Should I unpipe them?

A DAB policy question
Since you are the DAB Page Queen, I wonder if you could answer a question for me. While disambiguating links, I often stop to edit the dab pages themselves. When I ran across one that added foreign text to some of the links, I removed the non-English characters, thinking it was an anomaly. But now I've found

Thank you! I deliberately sought yours out as they were so easy to review, few editors start articles so well (myself included). Once you've created a few more and met the threshold, I can nominate you for autopatrol rights, so it's flagged up that yours are good enough that they don't need a reviewer.

- I've already given you a barnstar above, but I do want to thank you, especially after the crap at the village pump and the AfD that followed. Currently the ACTRIAL conversation is consuming time that I would prefer to spend patrolling, so I am even more grateful for the work you are doing to shrink the backlog. You really are a credit to our project. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:37, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, TonyBallioni. I hate all that kind of negativity, but I suppose I edit so much that at some point someone will object to one of my edits. I'm glad there's so much support for the article at AfD. Coming to the project at this stage, I'm not too jaded by the backlog and not that interested in whether policies are changed, but it will be interesting to see what difference ACTRIAL will make and then hopefully the focus can get back to editing.

Henry Dundas
Hi Boleyn, Why did you revert my edits to the Henry Dundas disambig page? Two separate issues: firstly, your lead Henry Dundas is only one among four individuals by that name and an overview/classification sentence would seem to be in order. Secondly, although this is currently a person disambig page, it doesn't have to be, and probably shouldn't be. The name occurs in other contexts, in this case as the name of one of several ships. It is common for disambig pages to list several categories of appearances of a name or term. Acad Ronin (talk) 19:25, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
]The policies you mentioned specifically permit groupings/categories of uses. The category of "Individuals", with the four names in any order you wish, can and should be the first category. That does not preclude a second category of "Ship". Why throw away information that others may find useful? Acad Ronin (talk) 19:36, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
I don't think you've read them properly,
OK. So, when I create the Henry Dundas (1786 EIC ship) article you will not object to me adding to the Henry Dundas disambig page, together with two other vessels with the same name that I will not red link because I don't anticipate writing up what would be stubby articles for them? Acad Ronin (talk) 19:52, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
]Thankyou for making Wikipedia better
I just wanted to thank you for nominating articles on non-notable individuals for deletion. I know how doing this needed cleanup can often be a thankless job that gets no notice except when you step on the turf of someone with vested interest in the status quo of keeping articles on non-notable people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:48, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Please Stop Proposing Pages for Deletion
I see that you are proposing to delete one of my pages (
Deletionists like you are the biggest problem with Wikipedia today. Instead of adding useful content, or at least editing, you target pages created by newby users for deletion. Often the pages are indeed poorly written, but the solution is to make them better, not delete them. This is one of the reasons I am reluctant to contribute to Wikipedia; I worry that many of my contributions will be undone by people like you if I don't meet some bureaucratic rule (e.g. Wikipedia:Notability or Wikipedia:Verifiability). I prefer OpenStreetMap, which is much more relaxed about both issues (although I am concerned about mass deletions there as well).
I joined Wikipedia in part to counter deletionists; I have been personally affected by a deleted article on Wikipedia that prevented me from getting information I was looking for.
p.s. I would send this by private message, but Wikipedia does not appear to have that capability.
Mparrault (talk) 18:33, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
Mparrault, I'm sorry that you feel you have had a poor experience in the past, where the information you were looking for was not on Wikipedia. Although this encyclopaedia may not have everything everyone is looking for, I hope you were able to get what you needed via a search engine. I hope that the links in my nomination for deletion give you clear information on my concerns, rather than leaving it feeling vague. This has been prodded, which means that you can delete the proposed deletion at any time. It then may lead on to a full discussion on its notability, where a consensus can be reached.
I reviewed several articles you had written on electoral districts. Good job, they were needed pages, well-written and I enjoyed reviewing them. I actually found out about all the pages because I review for
Boleyn, I may have been a bit too personal in my previous post; almost all of your editing is useful, and many new pages probably have very little useful content. I obviously don't agree with Wikipedia:Notability, but there is no need to rehash that debate. As for targeting, it seems like the problem is with
Mparrault, I didn't mean to imply it was a coincidence, but there was no intention to 'target' in a deletionist or derogatory way, the opposite actually. I used the filter so I could review all of yours one after the other because it is best to review similar ones together, and they were also good articles I was enjoying reviewing. Sorry I wasn't clear. Boleyn (talk) 19:52, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Quick question
Just curious... about Anula Karunathilaka - do you know how that article made it into mainspace? Was there a particular reason you didn't move it into Draft space and just tagged it instead? Atsme📞📧 00:17, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Atsme. The article had only been created about 10 minutes when I came across it, so I tagged it but didn't review it and added it to my watchlist to check in a few hours when the creator should have been finished. I didn't want to jump down the creator's throat if they were in the process of adding their sources - but it seems they weren't, or not very quickly anyway.

Yes, I can source that this is a surname from the Low Countries, but it seems like overkill since this is so patently a Dutch name. Eustachiusz (talk) 14:21, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Eustachiusz, thanks for agreeing to add a source. The reason all articles (including surname pages) should have sources is that that what is basic knowledge to one person, to another, in a different part of the world, it wouldn't be. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 16:13, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
