Hi there, its that the term may refer to various real world stuff rather than a videogame series (and the term was coined before the game was invented), in particular military operations etc. Just sayin:D Wunghuang 14/10/24, 23:25 (UTC) Wunghuang (talk) 22:27, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- It's just that there was already a primary topic. If you want that to change, do a WP:RM discussion. You also forgot to change "Overwatch may also refer to:" to "Overwatch may refer to:". GilaMonster536 (talk) 12:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Venue for disambiguation discussions
[edit]Hi, I noticed that you've now opened two WP:MFD discussions for disambiguation pages, including one (which I've procedurally closed) that was opened after your earlier MFD discussion for a DAB page was closed as the incorrect venue by another editor. WP:AFD is the place to discuss deleting disambiguation pages that you think should be deleted/adjusted if WP:G14 doesn't apply. Thanks. Skynxnex (talk) 17:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ok thanks GilaMonster536 (talk) 22:01, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
The discussion which you started at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Gene Robinson (disambiguation) has been moved to the correct venue. Sincerely —Alalch E. 17:16, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, GilaMonster536,
- You are still a very new editor, learning about Wikipedia's many policies and guidelines and gaining editing experience slowly. Please do not jump into administrative areas like nominating pages for deletion consideration until you have been editing for a few months. It's easy to get in over your head when you aren't familiar with procedures and take on new areas.
- If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 06:35, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

- It's fantastic that you're a new editor who is into disambiguation pages and disambiguation in articles btw. Much of the disambiguation "infrastructure" needs constant improvement and maintenance, and deletion of non-compliant dabs is just an aspect of that. Maybe you've already discovered the Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation. —Alalch E. 13:06, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Your recent edits
[edit]Following our recent discussion on my talk-page , it is obvious we have differing views on the the use of hat-notes and disambiguation pages. Despite the rather stern tone you adopted there, I did try to respond in a civil and as low-key manner as possible to explain my point of view. Rather than leave it at that you have now began working through the dab pages I've started, as listed on my user page, and removing any hat-notes that link to them. While some people might regard that as akin to harassment, I would not go that far but certainly feel it is highly problematic behaviour. You certainly don't seem to understand the difference between a guideline, such as WP:NOTAMB, and a rule. As time allows, I will review your edits to those pages and amend accordingly. Hopefully you will respect any edit I chose to make. I appreciate you a fairly new editor but please try to adopt a less confrontational approach in future. 14GTR (talk) 08:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
