General of the Armies - relative ranking

I assume you watchlist but wanted to bring your attention to my revert of your edit on List of United States military leaders by rank. I added an explanation at Talk:List of United States military leaders by rank#Senior Rank. --Marc Kupper|talk 07:46, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Canadian Forces Medallion for Distinguished Service

I created the article that you requested on the WP:WikiProject Orders, Decorations, and Medals page. Cheers. EricSerge (talk) 04:46, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Regarding disambig hatnote links and your edits to Pantages Theatre pages

The specific guideline can be found at WP:DLINKS#Usage guidelines. Hoping this will help for future reference on when to place these links. Thanks, œ^™ 09:04, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

PS. I do however see a case for adding a link to the dab page in a see also section.. considering every other article linked from the dab page is also a theater.. I do see how it can be helpful to readers. -- œ^™ 09:31, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Since they were all theaters, I felt having the hat note dab link would be very useful to readers who may have come to that page from outside WP. A google search may drop you on any of the ones on the list. — MrDolomite • Talk 16:34, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I see that now. However I still think it unnecessary to use a hatnote and runs counter to the guidelines. A see also section link would probably be better. -- œ^™ 10:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, like just about everything on WP, the guidelines are vague and conflicting.  :) WP:HNP says to put them at the top so that "If a reader has reached the wrong page, they typically want to know that first." There is only a single note on each page and a very short one, {{other}} so hopefully that isn't too disruptive. Is there a WikiProject which may have had previously reached a consensus on this? Because I believe they are important and should be returned to the articles in question to assist readers and editors. — MrDolomite • Talk 12:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
