In the part that says "Richard Berg, American physicist, acoustician, and educator" it links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Berg which is not the Physicist/acoustician/educator.

About the cleanup[edit]

Sgeureka, about you latest big cleanup: I would go even further and get rid of all redlinks. They correspond to places that do not seem important enough to warrant a quick creation of their own articles. Same thing for the secondary links, which do not mention the places they are supposed to contain. --maf (talk-cont) 16:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're probably right, so I shall do that then (like it's already done with red-linked people of WP:SU). I'll check all the other SU pages that I've cleaned up so far. – sgeureka ^t•c 17:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, I remember why I left them in (other then just inexperience at that time) - see the similar case of Blumenthal (dab) in Molfsee which has a big German village/town template at the bottom. (BTW, I live in Germany and have never even heard of the template's base town/region Rendsburg-Eckernförde, so Blumenthal is even less notable.) So, still remove them from the dab page in such a case? Same case for many minor French towns/villages like on Besse (dab) in the Arrondissement of Issoire. Almost all of these red-linked articles are unlikely to ever be created (since they're not in the US), but at the same time what would a dab page with solely German+French names be used for if there is no real "English" use for them? Only people people actually seeking these German/French pages come here, and then it might be of big help for them (IMO). – sgeureka ^t•c 17:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like redlinks. See the essay WP:ABOUTEVERYTHING. The template you mention is a sore to the eye and no help at all. The Blumenthal places could move to Places called Blumenthal (which would be a very unnotable article) as they serve no purpose in a dab page, which is for articles. --maf (talk-cont) 18:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right. I re-read Mos:DAB#Redlinks, which I had somehow (wrongly) remembered as "red-links are allowed", not as "use with extreme care". Something to learn everyday... :-) – sgeureka ^t•c 18:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So I removed the following non-article entries/redlinks for having an empty "What links here" page:

several small towns and hamlets in Belgium
Berg, Baden-Württemberg, district of Ravensburg, Baden-Württemberg
Stuttgart-Berg, a part of Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg
Berg am Starnberger See, district of Starnberg, Bavaria
Berg (Meijel), municipality Meijel, Limburg
Berg (Margraten), municipality Margraten, Limburg
Berg (North Brabant)
Berg, Upper Palatinate, district of Neumarkt, Bavaria

I leave in two redlinks on the dab page because they have templates that link to them (i.e. there already is a suggested name for them), and they can provide a main article. Although there are quite a few remaining towns/municipalities/whatever, I'm not really eager to move them to their own page because MoS:DAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created doesn't really encourage this openly. (And this dab page is rather neat and tidy, even with the place names.) – sgeureka ^t•c 19:17, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you've done a fine job now. I'd just like to point that I wouldn't consider Places called Blumenthal a dab, just a list of items, unlike a Places called Berg, which would be a dab. --maf (talk-cont) 19:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. But then what would {{geodis}} (or Category:Ambiguous place names) be for then if not for a dab page? ;-) Lists of people's (sur)names (as the main SU issues) though may or may not be tagged as dab pages with {{hndis}} (current consensus:no if nobody has the same given + surname) or just {{surname}} (which would makes them lists, not dab pages). – sgeureka ^t•c 22:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Difference between a dab and a list of items is links vs. no links. Anyway, this is me just trying out ideas. A list of items with links, I would call an index of articles. So, dab vs list of items vs index of articles. --maf (talk-cont) 22:30, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Composers[edit]

When seeing "Berg" in a concert announcement, I felt like remembering Alban Berg wasn't the only Berg composer. And Google does shows a lot of Berg composers, even if most are little known: Gunnar Berg (composer), Ken Berg, Christopher Berg, Natanael Berg, Stephanie Berg, ... So it could be seen useful to add on the Berg article page another section titled "Composers". Now seeing the big cleanup and knowing Wikipedia people don't like others make changes, I leave it to the ones higher placed than poor me... Michel Merlin (talk) 17:05, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Berg, peak[edit]

mountain peak, similar in Europe, Berg, a thing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A452:7D4C:1:EC12:D978:8B6F:F87 (talk) 11:54, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
