Hi, there is a necessity for a hatnote when there is a disambiguation page that it links to. There is a disambiguation page primarily because Hendrix is a surname, Hendrix is a crater, and Hendrix is a town. So when people type in "Hendrix" and get redirected to Jimi Hendrix, they might be looking for one of these other Hendrixes. In fact, having Hendrix redirect to Jimi Hendrix was a close decision in the first place, one which I implemented, due to the fact that there are so many other uses of the term Hendrix.[[User:Hoops gza|Hoops gza]] ([[User talk:Hoops gza|talk]]) 01:11, 24 October 2013 (UTC) |

: When I type ''Hendrix'' in the search box, all those pages pop-up. Nobody is being directed to Jimi's article in favour of the others; there is a drop-down menu which makes the hat-note redundant. Don't try to make hat-notes do what a search engine should be doing, it's distracting and unsightly at the top of an article.

Little help?
Hi GabeMc. I'm hoping you can help, as anonymous IP 107.215.236.170 has been making tons of edits to music-related pages, including Beatles pages, and as I and several other editors continue to revert them, it isn't stopping.
I put a notice here, but after 24 hours there's been nothing done. I'm not even sure I put a note on the right page. I also left a note on the IP's talk page but that seems to have been ignored, just like the other notes from other editors have been ignored.
Can you help in any way? Thanks.

- I left a note at the IP's talk page and I'll keep an eye on the situation. GabeMc (talk|contribs) 19:06, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Hendrix hatnote
Hi, there is a necessity for a hatnote when there is a disambiguation page that it links to. There is a disambiguation page primarily because Hendrix is a surname, Hendrix is a crater, and Hendrix is a town. So when people type in "Hendrix" and get redirected to Jimi Hendrix, they might be looking for one of these other Hendrixes. In fact, having Hendrix redirect to Jimi Hendrix was a close decision in the first place, one which I implemented, due to the fact that there are so many other uses of the term Hendrix.Hoops gza (talk) 01:11, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
