Talk:Grauniad

Rcat from typo
Re: Special:Diff/891840749/894270667, the effect of your two edits was to remove the (which is a redirect to ) from this redirect. I don't understand how this relates to the edit summary. Would you elaborate please?

AFAICS, this is, indeed, a redirect from a (purposeful) mis-spelling of The Guardian. Why should it not include the ? Thanks. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 00:54, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

P.S.: I corrected the IP's addition of to  because it seemed unnecessary to intentionally use the mis-spelled template name (though admittedly funny). —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 00:57, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I patrol Database reports/Linked misspellings. Gruniad is an unintentional misspelling; the correct form is Grauniad. R from misspelling is intended for unintentional misspellings; purposeful "misspellings" should be tagged with another purpose, such as R from alternative spelling, R from alternative name, R from former name or R from non-neutral name. R from misspelling populates Database reports/Linked misspellings, and thus demands that the spelling error be corrected. There may be a legitimate reason for changing "Grauniad" to "Guardian", but that would be to make the name NPOV, not to correct an unintentional misspelling. – wbm1058 (talk) 13:30, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * This is the version of the linked-misspellings report that reported there were two links to "The Grauniad". I think both of these are proper and should not be "corrected". – wbm1058 (talk) 13:40, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, on second look, I fixed one of them. – wbm1058 (talk) 13:45, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks – I get it now. I wasn't trying to suggest that it be "corrected", just trying to categorize it. I guess  is the best choice in this case. —[  Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 13:50, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oops. I see that is already there, so I won't change anything. BTW, shouldn't that be named R from NPOV name? —[  Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 13:54, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * That's an acronym for R to Neutral Point Of View name. You're thinking R from NNPOV name (Non-Neutral). wbm1058 (talk) 14:04, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Maybe you can recall why you piped the link for The Grauniad in this October 2010 edit? Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 14:04, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I can't, sorry. I'm afraid I'm not entirely clear how that's relevant to the present discussion either. --Qwfp (talk) 19:14, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
