Talk:Eaton Centre

November 2005

 * I reverted the changes made by 64.229.24.114 to the last version by SimonP. Removing all the information from this article, and creating new articles for each of the malls (each containing one or two sentences)  -- without adding any new information -- does not help the reader.  One simply ends up having to read 7 articles instead of 1 to get the same information.  Skeezix1000 22:26, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Why is the disambiguator "(Canada)" in the title, given that there are no non-Canadian Eaton Centres to disambiguate this from? Bearcat 08:23, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Good question. It might not need it. I was the culprit, and I can't for the life of me remember why.  There's the Eaton Center office building in Cleveland, but I don't imagine there's much risk of confusion between the two articles.  --Skeezix1000 11:30, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Let me try to explain it, then - you couldn't edit Eaton Centre, since it was a redirect to Toronto Eaton Centre; not being an admin, you couldn't delete the redirect to re-create the page, so you picked a new title, and then changed the redirect page to point to your new page. And now, here we are... I'll fix'er up right now. Mind  matrix  02:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It probably wasn't that well thought out. Unless the Eaton Centre article was protected, I could have simply edited it to remove the redirect and create a new page.  I was new to Wikipedia, so I suspect the decision had a lot more to do with inexperience than logic.  In any event, Bearcat's suggestion is a good one -- thanks for implementing it.  --Skeezix1000 11:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. It's not easy to get to a redirect in order to edit it, since the normal processes will bypass the redirect itself and bounce you to the target article; you have to know how to get directly to a redirect page. I'm sure you know how to do that now; you probably didn't know how to do it then. So, yeah, inexperience, sure...but Mindmatrix is probably right too. Bearcat 23:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I bet that's exactly it. --Skeezix1000 10:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
