Hi Chris. Per your edit comment, is there a standard spelled out somewhere that overrides

13:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

• I'm not sure where the standard is defined, but it's certainly standard practice. Searching for articles prefixed "Second battle of" produces only one actual article - all the other hits are redirects to articles titled "Second Battle of ...". Colonies Chris (talk) 16:56, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that 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.

As I've mentioned before, it would be helpful if, instead of waiting for the OTD page become protected, you look a couple of days ahead and fix these recurring issues yourself. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:57, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

It would be really helpful if the people actually responsible for creating the Main Page items were to look more closely at them before they're posted. All I'm doing is picking up on redirects highlighted by linkclassifier and checking where they go, using popups. It's not an onerous task, unless you're trying to do it singlehanded for every upcoming Main Page item. Colonies Chris (talk) 22:46, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

This is a wiki, we're all responsible. All you need to do is what you're doing but two days ahead. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:36, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

For instance, you could check

T:DYK/Q. TFA blurbs are here. Likewise TFL stuff is here. In fact, the only part of the main page you can't check in advance is ITN. So please use those links to check for errors instead of waiting for errors to be promoted to the main page. Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk

) 21:01, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

TRM, I see where you're coming from, but OTD is presumably not Chris's main interest (his gnoming is of very large scope). It does seem reasonable that those in charge of migrating OTD to the MP be made aware of the need to do this checking ahead of time themselves, doesn't it? Tony (talk) 00:47, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Another problems is that set creators rotate the blurbs from a library, so one never knows which ones get featured on the MP until they are picked, then they get locked straight away. This means you potentially have to check them all when only a small proportion of the blurbs get picked. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 01:34, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps someone should notify those responsible that they need to adopt this new responsibility then? However, that doesn't stop Chris from looking at DYKs, TFAs, TFPs and TFLs well in advance of them being protected. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:49, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

I've alerted OTD people to this thread. Tony (talk) 08:01, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for making this issue more widely known, Tony. It concerns me that I started out occasionally notifying problems I spotted on the Main Page when I logged in each day, but rather than getting any thanks, I end up implicitly criticised for not doing it sooner. It's discouraging - even gnomes

like a little appreciation from time to time. As I said, primary responsibility must lie with the creators of the blurbs. It's a small and undemanding task when it's spread around. Colonies Chris (talk

) 09:58, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

I just don't understand why you have to wait for it to be protected when most of the issues can be picked up some days or weeks in advance. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:48, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
