Disambiguation link notification for November 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alfred and Emily, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Appendix and Epigraph. 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.

fiction

hi, sadly, I don't :( Pundit|utter 10:24, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Czy znasz może jakieś badania na temat wpisów na Wikipedii, dotyczących sytuacji lub postaci literackich? (w dowolnym języku). Pundit|utter 14:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Pundit! Btw, by "fiction" I do not mean fictional situations or phantasy characters, but "fiction" like in Polish "literatura" (as opposed to "piśmiennictwo"), like in Category Utwory literackie (not much in use in plWP). How would I have to phrase it to make sure this particular group of articles is clear? --C.Koltzenburg (talk) 16:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Amended to be more precise in this context. Pundit|utter 08:51, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Dziękuję bardzo, Pundit! --C.Koltzenburg (talk) 09:10, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Fi Glover, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jane Garvey (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
