Disambiguation pages

edit

Hello. Regarding this edit: when disambiguating a term, it's preferable to include all potentially ambiguous entries on the one page, to help people find the desired article quickly and easily. The only exception to this is that long lists of human names should be split to a separate term (name) term (surname) and/or term (given name) page. More info is available at Wikipedia:Disambiguation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Thanks and welcome. --Muchness 11:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

The fact that they're potentially obscene isn't a reason to remove them – Wikipedia is not censored. The target articles are legitimate encyclopedic articles, and the terms are synonyms; per MoS:D, linking to synonyms from a disambiguation page is appropriate. --Muchness 01:42, 9 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Could you please write a stub about Kurów on Massachusett/Wampanoag language here - just a few sentences based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kur%C3%B3w ? Only 3-5 sentences enough. Please.

PS. Article about Kurów is already on 175 languages. If you do that, please put interwiki link into English version. If your village/town/city isn't yet on PL wiki, I can do article about it. (I'm first author of requests) Pietras1988 TALK 17:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
