Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of members of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly (13th house), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ajay Singh (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Phagi may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Your move

Hi! You moved Deoli (Vidhan Sabha constituency) to Deoli (Delhi Assembly constituency) when the article clearly only talks about the Maharashtra's Vidhan Sabha's constituency of the area Deoli, Maharashtra. I have now moved it to Deoli (Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha constituency). Please feel free to create separate article on Delhi area constituency. Also, the naming pattern is "NAME (Vidhan Sabha constituency)" or "NAME (Lok Sabha constituency)". We don't use ambiguous term like "Assembly" in it. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:02, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Well... you seem to have moved quite a many articles in similar fashion. Please move them all back to the consistent style used throughout the wiki for other states. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:12, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Dharmadhyaksha for your move it to back to Maharashtra assembly constituency. Regarding consistency, it's not a consistent style. For example, please refer Andhrapradesh assembly page list. In addition, there are multile assemblies with the same name, e.g. Deoli and hence need the state name. Hence, in future those pages may be moved to some other naming convention based on concensus. Regards, Shyam ^(T/C) 05:56, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Well... funny stuff. So there is quite a lot of inconsistency throughout. I happened to check out a few categories and found them using Vidhan Sabha and Lok Sabha for disambiguation between the houses. State disambiguation would obviously be needed in addition to these two if there are any more such cases. But i personally prefer "Vidhan Sabha" over "Assembly". §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:13, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
