Hi there. You've suggested that History of Malawi be merged into the Malawi article. Please see my comments Talk:Malawi#merge history? - I think they make sense. I'm not particularly sure why you suggested it in the first place? I think it's a fairly open and shut case so if you've no objections then I'll delete the merge template. Cheers.

Please don't disambig repair this link... it's a bit different than most disambig articles. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
You have been disambig repairing "Hellenic," but you have been replacing it with Ancient Greece. I believe Hellenistic civilization or Hellenistic Greece would be more accurate.-- Andrew c 15:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted Your changes in Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Novel categorization and Wikipedia:WikiProject Books/Worklist, please do not link across projects without asking. Thanks. feydey 08:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Quite right. Corrected in text. Tusen takk - Williamborg 01:08, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I see you’re a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Ancient Egypt. Might you be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Ancient Near East warfare task force, which will include wars of Ancient Egypt such as Battle of Megiddo?

Your edits clearly show good intentions, but fixing one link and throwing away several paragraphs of archived material is not a net benefit. - Jmabel | Talk 23:57, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Also—and this is strictly a quibble—an edit summary like "Disambiguation link repair" effectively says to most of us "no need to check my edit", so it is a little disconcerting when one sees that edit summary used for the addition of a cleanup tag. - Jmabel | Talk 00:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
On a similar note, the same thing happened when you worked on the Verizon FiOS page. I've fixed it, but please be a little more careful (and if necessary, upgrade your browser or switch to a different one). Thanks in advance! -- SpecOp Macavity 14:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Howdy Igiffin - thanks for pointing out that the Skandha article's internal link for "enlightenment" went to a disambiguation page, which could certainly be unuseful and confusing. I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I built on your desire to disambiguate the reference by having it link to the article on "Nirvana" (as opposed to "Enlightenment (concept)") since the Skandha article's use of the word "enlightenment" (in a paragraph I typed in) really refers to Nirvana. So would this edit of your modification be acceptable to you? Thanks again for your help. LarryR 12:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I appreciate your efforts to contribute to Wikipedia by disambiguating links, but I wish you would (please) be more circumspect about it: On Talk:Soka Gakkai International, you have repeatedly "disambiguated" my link to the "enlightenment" disambiguation page despite my repeated protests that I want the link to take readers to that page and not the enlightenment (concept) page. Since this is material on a talk page, in which I am presenting an argument, I think it is unfair of you change its content in a manner that is incongruent with my intent. If the material were in an article, I would not protest (unless I thought the revised link would be incongruent with the article content); but you are making a change in the substance of a text—an opinion—that I have signed my name to. Please stop! -- Jim_Lockhart 02:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Nice disambiguation of "Enlightenment" to "Bodhi" in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. Your change is wise, showing an appreciation for the subject and context. Way to go! Thanks again! LarryR 12:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Please don't be like me. Take a minute to check your edits. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 13:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I may have found your page based on your contributions or your link repair user box on your user page. If you are not a member, please consider including your name on the project page. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 22:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster.
Due to your past contribution to Technological utopianism, you may currently want to help editing the Technological utopianism article because currently only one editor is contributing to the article. The Singularitarianism Article could also benefit from your help.
I feel Loremaster is editing Singularitarianism and Technological utopianism in a biased manner in accordance with his Save The Earth propaganda. Loremasters's ideology seems to verge towards Neo-Luddism. Here are the damming facts Loremaster has stated in discussion:
"...critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms."
"...stop indulging in techno-utopian fantasies... ...so that we can all focus on energies on saving the planet."
"Although I am convinced that the world is in fact heading toward an ecological catastrophe, I think it can be averted and my optimism makes me want to fight to do do just that."

I've suggested merging Farangi (which you worked on) into Franks. I think this is better by WP policy and more useful to the readers. Jaque Hammer ( talk) 20:54, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion, guidelines for use at
WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 21:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ( see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:30, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
