== [[head]] == |
|||
Somebody who types in the word head will now actually get a description of the head. Hurray! Death to intrusive disambiguations! |
|||
The rationale for this was the observation that quite a lot of internal links to [[head]] (formerly a disambiguation page) were in an anatomical context. Actually if I were doing it again I'd probably recommend that [[head (anatomy)]] be moved to [[head]], because well over 90% of all internal links to [[head]] turned out to be anatomical, but I've done the work now and I'm not in a hurry to revert it all. |
|||
==[[fall]]== |
|||
The majority of references to [[fall]] were to the American name of the season, so I did the sensible thing. People unfamiliar with the American usage can now click on the link and be told it's [[merkin]] for [[autumn|Autunmnmnumumnum]]. |
|||
Wikipedia lacked a proper article on [[falling]], so I have stubbed one. |
|||
==[[pavement]]== |
|||
This now redirects to [[pavement (roads)]] which contains adequate disambiguation for the more specific British usage. |
|||
==[[clitoris]]== |
|||
Disengaging from this because the situation seems stable and I frankly cannot understand the point of view of the anti-photo people. |
|||
Went back because the page was briefly protected when someone wanted to edit it. Interesting discussions. Good for the project, I think. Basic issues are being thrashed out. |
|||
==[[ram]]== |
|||
Most links seem to refer to the sheep. A difficult one, since the only current relevant article is [[sheep]]. I decided to insert a disambiguation note on [[sheep]] explaining that [[ram]] redirects there and pointing people to [[ram (disambiguation)]] for other meanings. [[RAM]] now points directly to [[Random Access Memory]]. |
|||
==[[Churchill]]== |
|||
This is now a redirect to primary topic disambiguation on [[Winston Churchill]]. Just about all internal links to [[Churchill]] were in the context of Winston as war leader or writer. |
|||
==[[Darwin]]== |
|||
I disambiguated two or three references to [[Darwin, Northern Territory]]. The remainder of the internal references to [[Darwin]] seemed to be references to [[Charles Darwin]]. Another case for primary topic disambiguation. |
|||
==[[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Edmond Wollmann|Edmond Wollmann]]== |
|||
This article, initially an intemperate rant, was NPOV'd under [[User:WikiWikiWiki|a sock puppet user]] so as to avoid unpleasantness from Wollmann's many followers. And ''then'' it was listed for deletion. All part of the service. |

<small>My user page, talk and subpage layout were ripped off from various places, particularly [[User:Andrevan|Andrevan]]'s page (and his talk page), and [[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]]' page. Most of the template work is mine. [[User:RoyBoy|RoyBoy]] fixed the current incarnation of the top navigation, which used to be 800x600-busting.</small> |
