Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Unfortunately, I reverted your edits to Peer (not much of a welcome, is it?), but I wanted to explain in more length so that you'd know it wasn't personal.

Disambiguation pages are not a glossary of things that a word might refer to, nor are they an index of information that don't appear in Wikipedia. Instead, they're a way of helping a reader choose between information on Wikipedia that could be confused with each other by name alone. Since the group PEER that you added to the disambig page doesn't seem to be mentioned elsewhere in Wikipedia, there was nowhere on Wikipedia to send readers to, so I had to remove the line.

Ideally, if you want to reinstate that material, you would write a short article on the subject (a stub is fine), and then link to that. I spend a fair amount of time bringing disambiguation pages in line with Wikipedia's style for disambiguation pgaes, and that's something I do fairly often -- use the paragraph to create its own stub-level article, and then rewrite the disambig page entry to link to the stub.

The reason I didn't do it here, however, Is that I'm not sure that the organization you added meets the criteria of Notability for inclusion in this encyclopedia. If it does, please go back and make the stub. Include in it a line or two that addresses WP's notability requirements, so that other people don't make the same error I did.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope you have a long and satisfying editing career here. Sanguinity 16:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
