Got off on the wrong foot
Sorry about the dispute, it had nothing to do with me being personally against you. After all, it's an encyclopedia, so I believe no grudges should be held. Take this kitten as a token of gratitude, just don't call me names again please. :P

China (disambiguation)
This issue is complicated. PRC in de facto and legally, only represents most of China, not all of it. A smaller part of it is controlled by ROC. So China should not be equal to PRC.

( Similar to how Soviet Union should not be succeeded by Russian Federation, but rather by Russian Federation, Ukraine, and remaining republics ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrangeLark64 (talk • contribs) 19:03, 11 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The article China is about the PRC. That is all the disambiguation page needs to say. The disambiguation is not the place to attempt to describe the Cross-Strait relations of ROC and PRC. older ≠ wiser 19:12, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, the disambiguation page should reflect an unbiased condition of the jurisdiction, then that is to say, China is split into two in de facto and the page should not lean towards neither side. OrangeLark64 (talk) 04:46, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but no. The article China is about the PRC. If you think that article should be something other than that, you'll need to start there, not on the disambiguation page.older ≠ wiser 10:11, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I concur with Bkonrad. Disambiguation pages are merely indexes. BD2412  T 17:48, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Is Wikipedia in anyway, funded directly, or indirectly by the US government? OrangeLark64 (talk) 04:15, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Can there be a solution to be found as a compromise for the residents in Taiwan, since it is technically China but not PRC, regarding to the neutrality of this page? OrangeLark64 (talk) 16:52, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Accordance with the deletion of Suryakant।Yadav
That page needed to be deleted because it had no information in it, you did the correct thing, and all i did was notifying it as a stub when i didn't know an atricle with a similar name has been deleted just because i wasn't an administrator... But thanks for deleting it. VirtualizerExtreme (talk) 18:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

San Lorenzo

Page:Invidious changes reverted
Hello Bkonrad,

Recently, I updated the page, Invidious with information about the open source project under the same that that is hosted on GitHub. I made sure that the Wiktionary entry was linked. But my changes were reverted by you, I am wondering for what is the reason?

Thanks!

 * Your stub had no sources and nothing to indicate any notability. older ≠ wiser 00:31, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * yeah, i was still trying to figure out how to add the not enough source message, i was still gathering sources Ekh0-1talk 00:34, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Ekh0-1, it would be best to gather the sources first, and then start thinking about creating the article. But before all that you'd need to consider if the topic is notable in the first place. If it isn't, then the article is unlikely to survive. Maybe have a look at Notability (the established community guideline) and at Notability (software) (which is not a guideline but may, or may not, contain advice that people agree with). – Uanfala (talk) 00:42, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Rove disambiguation page
I have no idea what you are trying to achieve with your recent edits on Rove. If there were anything to differ over, it should surely be whether the link should go to Glossary of nautical terms (M-Z) - because that is where the actual explanation of the word is. Perhaps you have a different read of MOS:DAB than me. I am only at the point of curiosity as to what your thinking is - this is nothing like a big problem.

"correct form for intentional links to disambiguation" in Poo and Poop
Greetings! You reverted changes of mine and I do not understand why. I removed indirect links, e.g., Po (disambiguation) and Poo poo (disambiguation) redirect to Po and Poo poo. Are the changes to you reverted to desirable? Helen4780 (talk) 02:05, 19 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, per WP:INTDABLINK: } older ≠ wiser 02:36, 19 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I thank you for your detailed explanation and I'll remember that for the future so I don't repeat this mistake. Helen4780 (talk) 15:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

The WITCH companies are very commonly known by that name
Have you been following the IT scene, like, at all in the last few years? People talk about Wipro, Infosys, Tata Consulting, Cognizant, and HCL as a unit constantly. T3h  1337   b0y  16:55, 27 April 2022 (UTC)


 * That's swell. But the criteria for including on a disambiguation page is that the usage is mentioned in an existing Wikipedia article. older ≠ wiser 19:32, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think there'll be much reason to include the acronym on any of the articles about those companies: the conceptual grouping doesn't have much salience for each individual company. See for example how CIVETS isn't mentioned in the articles about the linked countries. The core question is whether readers are likely to be seeking this acronym while searching for "witch" – that will be the case if the acronym is commonly used. Is it common? When I search on google for witch Wipro I get about 5 pages of results. Not a little, but not a lot either. – Uanfala (talk) 22:45, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, but there is a article for CIVETS. So far as I can tell, there isn't any article that would satisfy WP: DABMENTION which is pretty much the minimum threshold for including on a disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 00:16, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * My point was that the individual company articles don't need to mention the WITCH acronym any more than the individual country articles need to mention CIVETS. DABMENTION requires the linked articles to have relevant content (Wipro obviously has relevant content on the company Wipro, etc.) – we don't necessarily need an article discussing the collectivity as long as the individual members are linked. The crucial question remains if the term for this collectivity is common enough. – Uanfala (talk) 13:11, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There must be at least one existing article that supports claimed usage, else there is nothing to direct readers to. Recall the purpose of disambiguation pages is a navigational aide. Disambiguation pages are not a slang dictionary and are not a directory to general web content. We should not be directing readers to articles that do not have any mention whatsoever in support of the claimed usage. older ≠ wiser 15:31, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * For a more comparable example, see the entry for GAFA (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple) which links to Big Tech which does support the claimed usage. older ≠ wiser 16:31, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
