Allers

As noted on the change description, there was a split tag requesting the page be split and turned into a disambiguation page and accordingly I split the article in order to reduce some of the backlog. If you think that I should not have done then that is fine, but if that is the case then you should also have deleted the split articles that I created, I would have thought. I do not have a particular axe to grind on this, apart from the fact the article has been tagged for nearly 2 years. Either it needs to be split properly as I did or the tag needs to be removed. Since the artcle is clearly talking about 2 different things then I would have thought 2 different articles would have been appropriate. However whatever happens, it needs to be tidy and not in the mess that things are now in. Before saving the changes, I tested them and ensured that the links work, so I do not see how the sandbox would help me. I have read the welcome page, and see nothing to assist on this one, especially since I read the pages on disambiguation before making the edit. If there is anything else that I should have done then I would like to know. If spending my time improving this encyclopedia is not constructive then I will be happy to find somewhere else to constructively spend my time. Op47 (talk) 17:50, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
