Talk:Gustav

Adding section for News
04-Sep-2008: Because Wikipedia has a dual role in providing information on news topics, as well as traditionally established subjects, there is a split as to which meaning, old or new, is most appropriate for quick links to subjects. To support that dual role, I am adding a group "News" to link meanings of "Gustav" that are in recent news, beyond the older traditional links of the Gustav name. This is in response to the name "Hurricane Gustav" which is a storm that struck as Category 3, affecting multiple nations in August/September 2008. Typically, a name such as "Shakespeare" would be quickly linked to the oldest mainstream meaning of the term (as in "William ~"); however, if a ship named "Shakespeare" were in top news stories, such a link could be placed, in a disambiguation page, under "News" as an alternate quick link. -Wikid77 (talk) 03:55, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I reverted the redundancy. The link to any hurricane named Gustav is under "Other uses". Wikipedia is an encylcopedia, not a newspaper. We have Wikinews for that. See WP:RECENT. Ward3001 (talk) 13:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
