Disambiguation link notification for June 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Morris West, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vatican ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Morris_West check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Morris_West?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your copyedits
Hello, thanks for your copyedits to the Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu page, but please see my edit summary there. Graham 87 18:04, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Graham : I changed his name to his common name for consistent name use within the article as "Gurrumul" and "Yuninpingu" were both, as you can check yourself, being randomly used when the name should normally be consistent. Also, when someone is nearly always known just by a first name or stage name, such as Gurrumul and also Enya, Beyonce, Cher and Melanie for instance among many others, then the accepted style convention according to the MOS (as per MOS:BIOGRAPHY) is that this name is used and is an exception to the usual principle of using surnames. If you need any evidence that "Gurrumul" was his common name or stage name then you only have to look at the name used on the covers of his CD releases and other items on Amazon at this link. His name on these is, with the one exception of his first album, consistently just "Gurrumul". I also did not appreciate your snarky and silly comment about my removing serial commas. It should have been very clear to you that my copyright was much more than this. As your recent edit and comments were all incorrect you should revert your name changes back to "Gurrumul" in line with the MOS. Quizical (talk) 02:59, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, consistency is a good idea, but the guideline also says: "For people well known by one-word names, nicknames, or pseudonyms, but who often also use their legal names professionally ... use the legal surname". I've read enough sources about him in the process of cleaning up the article that I know that he often used his legal name professionally ... and then there's the matter of his posthumous name, Dr G. Yunupingu. I'm sorry about the snark ... I know you'd done more than removing serial commas. Graham 87 04:48, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
