Merge to (R.E.M. Song)?

[edit]

Agreed. Me and OlderBrother both think so (he emailed me). Move it onto the "R.E.M. Song" page. Bsd987 22:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why? You only want to disambig it further if there are multiple songs by this name that would get it confused. The only thing that links here are R.E.M. articles, so this probably should be kept where it is according to the disambig style guide. This page should be a redirect to Drive_(song), and probably should have never been created to begin with. --badlydrawnjeff 04:07, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Badlydrawnjeff - I'm sorry I didn't re-check this page again just before I did the merge - I've learned a lesson for next time. Now I see your comment I think I should explain why I disagree. Until I updated it, the Drive disambiguation page referred to only one song - the #3 USA hit by The Cars. It therefore seemed logical that the R.E.M. song and The Cars song ought to be distinguished, especially as The Cars song was the bigger hit. No doubt someone more interested in The Cars than you or I will create one soon enough! --OlderBrother 12:44, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Bigger hit" isn't always the criteria, as nothing linked there other than R.E.M. business. If someone decides to make a page for the single (and not many Cars singles have articles, if their page is linked correctly), then it would be a situation where we'd probably put the disambig at the top of this page, as opposed to create an entirely separate page. --badlydrawnjeff 12:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Motor Voter Act

[edit]

I reinstated the sentence about the Motor Voter Act- It's not just my POV. It was cited in "It Crawled from the South" (don't have the ISBN with me) and can be documented (for starters) at [1] and [2] (which quotes "ICFTS") Orville Eastland 23:52, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
