A misguided Dab page[edit]

I'm not going to say that WP's article name-space shouldn't include some kind of treatment of "stock phrase" as an interesting phrase in English (and maybe other languages, since i see some hints that its structure in English reflects what may be a peculiarity of the related German phrase. The fact that it appears in "Job" and as something close to "woe be unto me if..." in the new testament raises, at least in my fevered imagination, a curiosity about whether it somehow encapsulates a significant fact about human psychology.
Bee-shie Hoo-sheh-may, no one has done the ground work to support that, and it falls to me to turn the page into a MOS-compliant Dab. That will include an MOS-compliant Wiktionary link of some sort.

Sorry to disappoint you, fans of "woe": I encountered what i thot was a bad Dab, and judging the "book" by only its first "page", what we have here is a horrible Dab. Doubtless no one's fault, it comes with the territory.

Actually the offending entry was either the first in the Music section (album mentioned only as bare list-item in one of the bios)

*Woe Is Me, album Johnny Griffin Dennis Irwin (Jazz Hour, 1988)

or the second,

*"Woe Is Me", anthem by Thomas Tomkins (no mention in the article, so i'm willing to assume neither that he wrote it, nor that if he did, anyone will ever provide us more than its title -- which is a question that can be evaluated by others once there's at least a mention)

Wrong Ray Kimble[edit]

Since the name Ray Kimble has no disambiguation page, I’m not sure how better to let the Wiki World know that Ray Kimble the track and field star was only 12 years old in 1965 and would have undoubtedly been much more famous had he scored a Billboard hit at that age. — Brianiac80 (talk) 20:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
