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.

Mass in Kg weight in Pounds?
Never heard of this. We weight people in Kg up where I live. We rarely use pounds (just the old people). In the USA I know the nonscientific us pounds and the scientific us Kg. Maybe that is the difference. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 22:16, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

co-authors
Apropos of your edit at Richard Watson (singer) I had no idea that "coauthors" was now deprecated. I have put this field in dozens, probably hundreds, of articles. Is there any way of replacing the lot or is it a matter of remembering to change them when next visiting each article? Tangentially, following what I find the prevalent practice in printed references, I prefer the second author to be John Smith, rather than Smith, John. It's not a matter of great importance, and I see the WP:cite book page allows for this. I'll go down that route in future, and am obliged to you for raising the matter.

Your copyediting
Your copyediting is okay sometimes. But shouldn't, as a copyeditor, you always make articles better? Or should we just say everyone is prone to make mistakes? Your copyediting over at Adolescent sexuality in the United States leaves much to be desired. And your copyedits elsewhere consist of you making unnecessary, sometimes unnecessarily elaborate, changes. You overtag and overuse blockquotes. I also think that when one or more editors reject your copyedits, you should just back off. If your copyedits are truly an improvement, then discuss them on the talk page when rejected. But try more often to see why others don't or might not appreciate your copyediting. In some cases, you are dealing with Wikipedia editors far more experienced than you and who are far better at building articles than you. 72.216.11.67 (talk) 15:32, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
