Usha
editPlease revert your move from Usha to 'ancient'. There doesn't seem to be a erason for that extra specification in the article name and merely adds clutter while also screwing up the disambig template too. Thanks. --Shuki 10:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Shuki!
- I've created also Usha (kibbutz) and Usha (goddess), and I'm going to correct all the links and/or problems with templates now. IMHO it's better to specify explicitly, that the article previously named "Usha" is about the ancient city (=> rename it), and make the new Usha article redirect to the disamb. page. DmitTrix 10:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. Now finished corrections... DmitTrix 11:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I suppose. Thanks. --Shuki 17:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I reverted your good faith page move. Please take a look at this policy on naming standards for corporations. In general, the use of terms that connote legal status are discouraged unless needed for disamgibuation. Feel free to discuss this on the talk page if you see a good reason to make the change anyway.

Proposed deletion of WPE
editA proposed deletion template has been added to the article WPE, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Disambiguation page not needed. It was created by an SPA solely to insert an external link to a product page. The only other entry in the disamb list is a redlink.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. §FreeRangeFrog 08:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Odyssey. The Search for Ulysses.jpg
editA tag has been placed on File:Odyssey. The Search for Ulysses.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

reverted disambig page revert
editYou should reveiew WP:MOSDAB. We don't generally use disambig items for every possible meaning of a word or acronym, but only for disambiguation. To disambiguate to an article that doesn't even mention the topic of the disambig article is never appropriate. Multiple links per item is also wrong, almost always. Dicklyon (talk) 03:04, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
I see that I am not the first one making this comment. Can you explain how you "help the reader to find the information he's looking for," when you are adding a link to an article that doesn't even mention the subject? This isn't about taking rules to extreme, this is about common sense. --Muhandes (talk) 05:25, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Since you didn't answer I went ahead and removed those links. --Muhandes (talk) 07:24, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Etymology
editI reverted your edit to Lenticular lens. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Articles should not generally give etymology in the first sentence, because the topic of the article is the thing itself, not the words that describe it. In many cases, there is no need to include etymology in an article at all. Where it is worth including, it belongs somewhere lower down in the article—not in the lead paragraph, and certainly not in the first sentence. If it's worth including, it's worth writing a sentence about it, not just a sentence fragment in parentheses.--Srleffler (talk) 17:37, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Mount Arif
editHello DmitTrix. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Mount Arif, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: It's a reasonable redirect pending the creation of an article about the other mountain. If you think this should be deleted it needs to go to RfD. Thank you. GedUK 19:18, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
- I've created an article about the broader subject (Negev Mountains) and redirected Mount Arif to there. DmitTrix (talk) 20:16, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
Trinity Islands
editJust wanted to note that when disambiguating things like that it should be in the Trinity Islands (Nunavut). Trinity Islands, Nunavut would indicate a community called Trinity Islands. Here's another and better example, Trout Lake (British Columbia) and Trout Lake, British Columbia. As far as I know this "Geographical feature (area)" and "Community, area" holds true for most countries. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 18:20, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi! Thanks for fixing and for noting me. I'm not very active in English Wikipedia, and not proficient in naming conventions. Regards, DmitTrix (talk) 21:21, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
2014 MT69
edit(DmitTrix moved page 1110113Y to 2014 MT69: official designation.)
May I ask you where you've got this information from? How can we be sure it is the same object?
Regards--Io Herodotus (talk) 19:21, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- See here (by Amanda Zangari, a postdoc working on NASA’s New Horizons mission). And, apparently, I was wrong – it should be 2014 MU69 (2014 MT69 is another object). Please let me know if you consider this source reliable enough to rename to 2014 MU69 (you can rename if you wish); otherwise, it probably should be reverted to 1110113Y. Regards, DmitTrix (talk) 20:10, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. I have changed it. frwikipedia has a page for both objects. Regards.--Io Herodotus (talk) 08:12, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for August 7
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited International Cometary Explorer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Transfer orbit. 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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:47, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

BBS
editThank you for your edit to the disambiguation page BBS. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:
- Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
- Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
- Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
- Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
- Do not insert external links or references
Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 00:58, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

editHi DmitTrix, I accidently hit 'Enter' before finishing my edit summary for LZK, so I thought I'd add here that in addition to tidying up, I removed 'A survey of emission-line stars in the Perseus Dark Cloud'. Since disambiguation pages disambiguate Wikipedia articles, all entries must include a link to an article; external links are not used. Leschnei (talk) 14:15, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
