Disambiguation link notification for December 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Santa Claus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Germanic Europe (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Yule

You might try dropping your ownership attitude toward this article. Wikipedia policy is to follow the secondary sources, so it not necessary to find the primary source. If you're the Yule expert, how come you don't know where Heimskringla first mentions Yule? Anyway, it is in "Saga of Hálfdan the Black", chapter 5, p. 54. ("During Yuletide King Hálfdan was being entertained in Heithmork.") Kauffner (talk) 10:59, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

"You might try dropping your ownership attitude toward this article" isn't a good way to begin a conversation. I own the Hollander translation; there's no need to link me to an Amazon purchase page. Your edit in question isn't about "where Heimskringla first mentions Yule" (which says nothing more about it other than "during Yuletide King Hálfdan was being entertained in Heithmork"), rather the issue is your insistence of setting a date where secondary sources note that there wasn't a clear date prior to Christianization . :bloodofox: (talk) 11:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Rollback on Norse dwarves

Disagreement on whether an article should become a redirect to another article is not a valid use of rollback. [1] [2] Continue misuse of rollback will result in your rollback privileges being taken away. -- KTC (talk) 11:16, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

There's no "disagreement". There's an anonymous IP reverting edits with claims of "vandalism" and refusing discussion. :bloodofox: (talk) 11:17, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

You have not made any attempt to discuss this with other user besides edit summaries, you need to use the talk page otherwise you are as much at fault as the ip user for edit warring. SkyMachine ⁽⁺⁺⁾ 11:27, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
