User talk:Sharkstand

Hi. I noticed that you recently changed the page Lost into a redirect to Lost (TV series). An anonymous user had been doing the same recently, and I'm wondering if this is the same user under a new account. Whether it is or not, you should know that the change has been reverted, and will continue to be reverted for the time being. The disambiguation information at Lost is important, and since Lost (disambiguation) redirects to Lost, your edit caused a double redirect and caused the disambiguation info to be ... well, lost.

Also, Wikipedia operates by consensus. If you look at Talk:Lost you'll see that the apparent consensus is to have Lost as a disambiguation page. A good argument has the potential to change consensus, and if you join the discussion we might be able to put in a formal request at WP:RM to move the disambiguation content to Lost (disambiguation). But unfortunately simply changing the page into a redirect isn't the way to go right now. Thank you. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:16, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
