- Regarding your edits to disambiguation page Columbine: According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages):
- Unlike a regular article page, do not wikilink any other words in the line, unless they may be essential to help the reader determine where they might find the information. For example:

Italics
[edit]The use of italics in titles of books, films, songs etc is within the guidelines of the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. It is best to leave italics alone if they are spelled correctly.--Ianmacm 17:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Hinds County, MS
