[edit] 1000+ links to this disambiguation page!

C'mon folks! This is ridiculous. Would some of you who understand the difference between the items on the disambiguation page please go though the list of ambiguous links (see Special:Whatlinkshere/Newfoundland) and fix them to link directly to the correct article. Many, many thanks! Ewlyahoocom 06:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

It's not our job to do your homework for you, but I'll give you a clue — break up the word into "new", "found" and "land", and think about what those individual words mean. Bearcat (talk) 23:18, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Man erfähr gar nichts ein bisschen ausführlicher!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.80.255.125 (talk) 16:51, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

There is a failing link linking to the same page here: Newfoundland Island is an island situated in Groswater Bay, Labrador. 82.136.216.55 (talk) 17:48, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Do you have a reference for this? When this originally came up some months ago the research I did to find a reference for Newfoundland Island indicated that it was an alternate name for Ukasiksalik Island on Davis Inlet. All subsequent references to a Newfoundland Island in Groswater Bay appear to have originated with the Wikipedia reference to it (a self-fulfilling fact, if you will). If you can find an impartial reference indicating the presence of a Newfoundland Island in Groswater Bay, please provide it and re-instate the link from the disambiguation page.Vulcan's Forge (talk) 03:12, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
