Stub tags
When creating short articels such as Firewall pinhole, please add the proper stub tag. The list of avaialble tags is at WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. Thank you. DES (talk) 01:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Hello; I think that I understand stub articles. I had not marked this article as a stub since I thought, perhaps erroneously, that the article was relatively complete and would not need much further addition. Perhaps I misunderstood? ppblais 15:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I deal on new-page patrol with lots of articles created by people who are relatively new to wikipedia. If you had made an editorial decision that this was as complete as it was likely to get, then it is arguably not a stub. It is surely short enough to fit the classic def of a sub by length. If this is all that there is to say about this topic, then perhaps it should be merged into a larger topic, say Firewall. But perhaps not. In any case, I apologize if I sounded condescendign or told you what you already were well aware of -- such was not my intention. If you think the stub tag does not belong on that article, feel free to remove it. Of course there are no hard and fast rules about when a stub tag should be used -- it is always a judgement call. DES (talk) 15:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. I welcome rational and well articulated guidance. I did not think you were condescending. The discussion made me think further on the topic and as a result: I am of the opinion that the article is indeed independent enough from "firewall" to remain a separate article; as well, I have added further details to the description...

Disney
I didn't understand your comment on WP:DPL about this article. "Most the work is done" -- not really, there are still 120 or so articles linking to Disney. "Waiting for next database dump" -- why? A new dump will just update the link count; it won't show you any new links that aren't already visible. --Russ Blau (talk) 15:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I have updated more than 100 of the links. Hence, "most of the work is done". The page still shows 120 as the count, which is obviously wrong given the number of links I have fixed. The new dump will show the number of links left. I am waiting for the new dump because I have lost track of which links are left to do. Pretty much all the links still listed have been done, which you can verify by going to them. ppblais 13:19, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I may have found your page based on your contributions or your link repair user box on your user page. If you are not a member, please consider including your name on the project page. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 23:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:33, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of G.165


The article G.165 has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (software) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of 'This article meets criteria A and B because...' and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you."
