Disambiguation link notification for November 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Cloud (Peak District), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heather (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.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

To answer the question you asked ...
here, back in 2005-06 when I had begun writing that article there was more tolerance for that kind of transwiki link as a way of explaining this term (particularly because our own page on it was (and still is) purely a disambiguation page).

I suppose it is probably past time for someone to create article on narratives that turn at least in part on a character finding themselves in an unfamiliar social environment and having to blend in fast ... Daniel Case (talk) 02:02, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
