Hi, welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your interest. Please see the comments left for you on User talk:121.116.241.61. In particular, with respect to the disambiguation page Lehmer,

  • Wikipedia is not a reference for Wikipedia, and German Wikipedia is not a reference for English Wikipedia. Do not add footnotes referencing German Wikipedia.
  • The policy for
    disambiguation pages
    is that they must have links only to existing articles, not red links to articles that don't exist (even if people by that name exist, and have articles on other Wikipedias).
  • You have added a banner suggesting that the page should be expanded by translating from German Wikipedia, but our page here is already longer than the page on German Wikipedia, and nothing remains worth translating. So repeatedly adding the banner is pointless.
  • The disambiguation page needs to have only a bare minimum of information to identify the entry, not excessive detail (like place of birth and death) which can be left for the actual article on the entry.

Keep up the hard work Czeskilas--Hutcher (talk) 23:01, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I stand by what I said. Entries in disambiguation pages must link only to existing articles, not to articles that don't exist. (The thing you pointed out is a rarer case, in which there's a red link to something already linked on some page and there's a blue link in the entry, neither of which applies to the versions Czeskilas had left the pages in — entire entries with just a redlink, and a "reference" to de.wiki to boot.)

Then you are standing by a false statement: "Do not create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written". --Hutcher (talk) 03:10, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, what? I said that disambiguation entries must link to existing articles. Then I reiterated it. Now you're talking about… what? Sorry, I really don't understand. You should stop being so cryptic and explain yourself more fully. Shreevatsa (talk) 03:42, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
