Terms of Art Page
Hi Cnilep, Since you reverted the example of Jargon that I added, I figured you might know how better to solve the problem I was trying to solve. A search on WP for Term of art redirects to Jargon, and I agree that it doesn't seem like the right word for terms of art as used in law. When a law provides a definition for a term used elsewhere in the law, that term loses its vernacular meaning and takes on the meaning provided in the law where it is used. Is there a better word for it than "term of art"? Or is there somewhere in Jargon that this law-related information can be represented? Dscotese (talk) 01:49, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello, Dscotese. It's great if you want to add content related to "term of art" to Wikipedia. The reason I reverted your edit is that you added an external link to the article text, which is generally not allowed – though there are some exceptions.


 * To get the content you want on Wikipedia, as opposed to pointing to it elsewhere, I can see two possible solutions. One would be to add at least a couple of sentences to the article Jargon: one explaining that "term of art" is sometimes used to refer to technical terminology in any field, and then another describing the particular usage of "term of art" in (US?) law. A perhaps better, but certainly more laborious solution would be to create an article such as Term of art (law) or Term of art (US law), describing the legal usage. In the latter case, you would probably also want to add a hatnote to Jargon so that readers who search for "term of art" would be pointed to the article they are looking for. I can help you with the formatting of the hatnote, if you decide you are interested in the latter approach. Hope this helps, and happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 07:41, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pimephales vigilax, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Spine (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Now that you come to question what is going on here, it strikes me that this page has something of the character of Las Meninas. The edit you noticed was indeed not a good one, I shall try again to make some sense of it all. Moonraker (talk) 01:49, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
