Disambiguation pages

edit

Please note that disambiguation pages like Robin are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia: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 that mentions the title being disambiguated
  • 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 - Wikipedia is not a business directory

  Hello, I'm Belbury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, People-watching, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Letters to newspapers aren't considered to be reliable sources. Also the letter does not mention the defined concept of "people-watching". Belbury (talk) 16:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for letting me know. I don't have an actual newspaper article on the incident on me but will see if I dig one up (or a similar source). Also, I'll keep that mind that letters to newspapers aren't accepted on Wikipedia. Thanks. CanofCan (talk) 16:29, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
General articles shouldn't be covering single incidents in that manner anyway - it is placing undue weight on single incidents. MrOllie (talk) 16:32, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, while I understand that giving undue weight to a specific viewpoint is wrong, two of the articles removed had to do with legal rulings handed out by courts. If I de-emphasize the incident itself and place more emphasis on the court ruling, will you allow those two articles to be used? Thanks for your consideration.

These aren't binding precedents set by the highest courts of the land, they're local news stories about local courts. It's not encyclopedic material l. MrOllie (talk) 23:19, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I see, so highest courts (aka the U.S. Supreme Court for the United States). I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the clarification. CanofCan (talk) 21:16, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
