That wasn't me that made that edit, my friends were playing around with my phone and they probably edited it sorry though

Jeremy Lane

WP:TWODABS "If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed—it is sufficient to use a hatnote on the primary topic article, pointing to the other article."

Query

Mdann52, First of all thank you for closing the long running RM discussion at Talk:Korean American/s

I would also appreciat your thoughts regarding any potential distraction regarding the WT:AT discussion at Common name people - removing (the) pulp? and on which I had placed the 12 May 2015 initial note: "On this I will risk bothering "Hillary Rodham Clinton" RM deliberator, Mdann52, as content in this discussion I think demonstrates arguable search anomalies (re: Liberace, Syahrini and Bill Clinton) which may, arguably, relate to a search related controversy that was raised in final stages of the HRC discussion."

After much discussion the thread was closed here with the only remaining text presenting "No need to bother the closers at Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request during their deliberation." Obviously the HRC discussion ended with talk regarding the use of Google stats and in the during compilation of information regarding the WT:AT discussion I learned and presented some things that I took to relate to the use of these stats.

I am left wondering regarding the extent to which the WT:AT OP raised issues and to which the continued discussion continued to raise issues. Please only reply if that is what you choose to do. Thanks. GregKaye 10:04, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

I think this is being worked out. GregKaye 13:39, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Tournament of Champions

The NDT page features historical winners, and it seems like salient content. Which specific WP-NOT category were you referencing? It seems like the list of TOC winners should stay. I didn't want to get into an "undo" battle with you on the page itself, so I thought we could talk it out here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Splashgordeaux (talk • contribs) 00:01, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

@Splashgordeaux: In this context, I think WP:IINFO applies, although I have no opposition to it being spun off into another article however not until all the material is sourced. Mdann52 (talk) 12:04, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Markup Language

Hi User:Mdann52, I've been doing minor edits on articles for about 2 months, but despite numerous attempts, I can't seem to make the Wiki markup work. In particular tables seem to evade me. I understand the basic |Title= but it merely puts it into text. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a few tips for me Kind Regards, TheHecster (talk) 16:03, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
