More specifically, I want to thank you for the great job you did copy-editing the article on the Polish cochineal. It was a tremendous help. I only reversed/modified two of your edits which changed the meaning of what was written there. Glad to see you here, Wikipedia needs good copy-editors. &mdash; Kpalion(talk) 09:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Copy-editing "Leonard Orban"
Thank you very much for copy-editing "Leonard Orban", definitely a better article now. From your many edits I only changed "commercial competitiveness" to "business competitiveness" as more general and closer to the actual statements of Orban, and added "liberal" to Financial Times to show criticism didn't come just from the socialists (I assume not everybody knows the political leanings of the FT). Thanks again! --Michkalas 12:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation error
Just pointing out that this edit was in error: hatnotes tend to point to disambiguation pages :) —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Also note that when you link to a category, you must prefix Category with a colon to distinguish from including that article in the category. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:24, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Duly noted. Thanks for the corrections.--January2007 (talk) 19:40, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Signum
Hi

This message is about the Signum disambiguation page. I removed the entry for Signum (video game developer).

These disambiguation pages can be a source of confusion sometimes. They exist to help readers find existing articles. That is the basis for my removing the text. Since we're trying to help readers find articles that exist we do so by only keeping entries that point to an existing article that shares a potentially ambiguous name or an entry that points to an article that has content that relates to the (dab page name) but doesn't necessarily have an article of it's own.

So if there isn't an article that matches the disambiguation page name, or if the isn't mentioned on any existing article, the entry should not be created.

I searched for the entry that you had created (Signum video game), but I did not see that term listed on any article in Wikipedia and this is why I removed it. Any entry that does not need disambiguation only makes the page a little bit less efficient for those using the pages as they're intended.

Hope this helps. Dawnseeker2000  01:28, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I have re-added it. The link on the disambiguation page was created for this article: List of role-playing video games: 1994 to 1995.  I'm not sure why you couldn't find it using the search function.

I searched for "Signum video game" so that was too specific. I sometimes check to see if there are existing articles that link to the redlinked item, but didn't this time. Bye for now. Dawnseeker2000  02:33, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
