Britain disambiguation page
[edit]Hello, Wkwriter4 and again, welcome to Wikipedia.
You recently re-created a link in the article on David E. Reed to Britain, which is a disambiguation (dab) page. According to this Wikipedia guideline, internal links in Wikipedia should point to relevant articles, not disambiguation pages. I have re-disambiguated the link and moved it to the first mention of the word "Britain." There is currently a major project underway to eliminate links to disambiguation pages which you can find out about here. Continuing to link to "Britain" will only result in the page appearing on a list of pages that need disambiguation, bringing myself or other editors back to the page to fix it.
Please avoid links to disambiguation pages.

- That's fine. My edit didn't change the way the title appeared on the page, only the page that it links to. Hope I didn't sound too cranky. I know these things can be a little complicated for new editors. If there's anything I can help with, don't hesitate to give me a shout.
- Also, when leaving talk page comments, it always helps to sign your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~) or hitting the sig button
. This will automagically add your nick and a date stamp to your post. Thanks again for your contributions to Wikipedia and happy editing. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 03:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
