Disambiguation link notification
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

 * At least you know the word "patzer" (chess lingo). :) I was thinkin' ... With all those books, do you have any plans you like or can recommend, for building a good sturdy bookshelf? (They're so expensive in the stores. Can't be *that* hard to make!) Cheers, Ihardlythinkso (talk) 17:36, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * With the price of lumber these days, you might be surprised how expensive even homemade bookcases can get. I don't have any plans as such, but I have built some bookcases, and, you're right, it's not too difficult if you have the right tools. A bookcase is basically just a wooden box; for the ones I built, I used 1x12s to make a simple butt-jointed 72" x 30" frame, with the bottom shelf 3" up from the floor (kickplate opitional, but it looks nicer with one) and backed with thin, high-quality plywood. To hold the shelves, if you don't mind completely fixed shelves, you can use 1/2" quarter-round to make simple brackets that the shelves rest on top of. Adjustable shelves are trickier. One way is to use pegboard as a guide to drill pairs of holes at 2" intervals on each side to hold pegs that the shelves rest on. Finally, whether you choose to paint or to stain & poly, I recommend waiting about 4 weeks before putting any books on the shelves. -- Shelf Skewed  Talk  19:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Why
On earth did you replaced the redirect of Red Lipstick with a disambiguation contents page????????? Aaron  • You Da  One 22:34, 10 March 2012 (UTC)


 * First of all, I didn't do that: Aaronboy123 did. I cleaned up after. However, turning it into a dab page was the correct choice. None of the listed topics has an article, so there's no reason why that page should redirect to just one of those uses in particular. They are are all valid ambiguous uses, and there's nothing special about the Rihanna song. I have reverted back to the dab page.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  05:13, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It's re-directed for a reason. It's NOT a dab page. I actually didn't know what had happened to the article I created and wrote, I thought it had been deleted because of you two. So leave it. None of the others even have a redirected article, this one does. I don't expect to see it turned back into a dab page. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 12:07, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * When that page was a redirect, whatever the reason, there was no reason to favor one use over the others. If the page is now an article rather than a redirect, then of course it shouldn't be a dab page. The dab page should be at Red Lipstick (disambiguation), the relevant portion of the edit history should go along with it (admin assistance required there), and the song article should be hatnoted. I'll drop a note at WP:REPAIR to get this accomplished.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  16:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * But the other's didn't have redirects. Rihanna's "Red Lipstick" was the only one with an article. It shouldn't have been a dab page in the first place. Like I said, I thought you had deleted the article I created. Did you know that the talk page for the dab page was Rihanna's "Red Lipstick" talk page still? That was the only way I knew that it was that. No, don't, I'll do it myself. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 16:59, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You need to calm down a bit. No one actually did delete the article material; it was all available in the history. And I wish you hadn't jumped ahead and moved the disambiguation material by copy-and-paste. We still need admin intervention to handle the edit history changes.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  17:10, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I know. but when I couldn't actually locate the article, I thought it had been deleted. I didn't know the article I had written under a redirect had been replaced with a disambiguation page. It's fine as it is. Perhaps if an actual disambiguation page (not that one is even needed as there is only one RL article) then this wouldn't be happening.

Look of Love
Hi... you're right, of course... I even checked the Brill Building Sound box set (needlessly), and I've fixed the entry on my User page and TLOL DAB page. Three questions:


 * If/when I write this article, do you think I should still call it Look of Love (Lesley Gore song)? There doesn't appear to be any other LOL song (without the The), and LOL redirects to the DAB page.  Or is LOL itself too confusing?  I'd appreciate your opinion.
 * Did you learn of my intent to document this song from the DAB page or my User page?  Just curious.
 * How many books, exactly? I have a few, myself.

Thanks for the heads up/interest. Regards, --Seduisant (talk) 18:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I think I would go with Look of Love (song) with a hatnote pointing to the dab page.
 * I noticed your interest because the dab page is on my watchlist.
 * It's been a while since I counted--many are catalogued, but many are not--but I would estimate about 10,000.
 * -- Shelf Skewed  Talk  18:55, 25 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Look of Love (Lesley Gore song) is done and the LOL DAB page is redlinked no more. Thanks for your help.  --Seduisant (talk) 23:36, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, but I'm not an admin--I don't have the ability to delete or restore articles. The article was deleted by JamesBWatson, who gave the reason "Creation by a blocked or banned user in violation of block or ban".

Out out
Thanks for your message. I'll not contest your When I'm deletion, though I don't think it's causing any problems, but Out out more commonly refers to Macbeth (I had it as a "see also" previously). The Frost alludes to it, and I think it's helpful to help readers who may be seeking the Poe, Frost, or Macbeth use. I am happy to discuss it, though. Jokestress (talk) 05:14, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Since you !voted "redirect" in your own AFD, I took the liberty of being bold and redirecting Out Out to the Frost poem. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 14:27, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The reason I put it up for Afd in the first place is that I boldly redirected it myself already, and the article's creator objected (see above), so I thought the page should be put up for discussion by a wider audience. I'm not sure that repeating a redirection that has been reversed once and prematurely closing the discussion is the best course of action.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  14:52, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

What is up?
Why are you reverting all my disambiguation moves? If you have a problem, DISCUSS it FIRST rather than just reverting without any discussion at all. You don't own those pages, and your opinion on the topic is only that: an opinion, and one of many. It's perfectly legit to move a larger section to it's own disambiguation page in order to keep the main disambiguation page to a reasonable size. Please stop undoing everything I'm doing. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 05:38, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Moving dab page sections to separate pages should be done only in exceptional cases, when the section is large enough to overwhelm all other listings. The list of albums at Touch (disambiguation) is not particularly long, and the benefits of keeping them listed there--the convenience to both users and editors of not having to deal with multiple dab pages--outweigh the benefits of separate pages. I suggest you review WP:INCOMPDAB for the relevant guideline. I won't revert you again if you insist on the change, but sometime in the future another editor will merge both Touch (film) and Touch (album) (if you reestablish it) back into the main dab page.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  05:54, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, the article does say that the song was released as a single and charted, but a Wikipedia article can't be used as a source for a different article, and the album article doesn't supply a reference for the information on the single.

revert on It Takes Two
Hi, you reverted my edit, with the edit summary "per MOS:DABRL"... but that policy clearly states "Do not create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or are likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics", and the entry for this film has already been removed as non-notable, as you can see in the logs here. So I don't quite get the justification for putting it back, especially if you're going to cite DABRL, which seems to suggest the opposite action. Hairhorn (talk) 17:35, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The article was deleted by prod, so there was no deletion discussion, no actual discussion about notability, just a decision that the article as it existed failed to establish notability. Which doesn't mean that the film is not, in fact, sufficiently notable for article. I'm pretty sure it is--a feature film released by a major American studio (MGM/UA) will always generate sufficient independent coverage--and the redlink for it appears in several articles. In my opinion, the creation of an article for this film is just a matter of time. Heck, I'll create it myself if the red link bothers you that much.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  17:59, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Call of the Wild
Disambiguation hat note/page link ("other"). You removed the template Other uses|Call of the Wild (disambiguation). There are more than nine movies or television shows that share the name. See Call of the Wild (disambiguation). While the name of the articles are different, all the movies and television shows (but one) have the identical name. Your industrious removal from the many articles may have been in accord with what you read to be policy, but it makes no sense. This is routinely done with people who have the same name. See e.g., Fred Smith (bassist). I don't think that applying the rules in the manner you did helps the encyclopedia. I also recognize that my opinion isn't important. But I do think that there has got to be a better way. Happy editing. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 15:56, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:NAMB is a longstanding and widely used guideline for most articles. You are correct that articles for people tend to be an exception, although they really shouldn't be. Articles with distinct titles do not require hatnotes. My suggestion is the creation of a The Call of the Wild navigation template--on the model of Gone with the Wind, for example--that could be placed at the bottom of all the related pages.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  16:11, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Happy Birthday- Redirects on dab page *are* permitted
Hi,

I notice you altered the Happy Birthday (Technohead song) entry because it was a redirect. However, I set it up that way as it seems that redirects *to subsections* of another article are considered useful- and actually desirable- according to WP:DABREDIR.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. All the best, Ubcule (talk) 12:38, 23 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm quite familiar with that guideline, including the part that says "A redirect should be used to link to a specific section of an article if the title of that section is more or less synonymous with the disambiguated topic." The section targeted by your redirect is titled for a name used by the band and is not specifically about the song. I'm not going to get into a tussle over something so minor, but you could render the issue entirely moot by creating an article for the song... Cheers!-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  14:52, 23 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd agree that it's a borderline case as far as DABREDIR goes. I felt it was still legitimate here as (IMHO) pointing to that specific subsection in the article is more useful and specific than simply pointing to the parent article, and DABREDIR implies that piping shouldn't be used for subsections.


 * Creating a rather pointless one or two-line stub article would "solve" our mountain-out-of-a-molehill dispute problems, I agree, but that shouldn't be the basis for the decision. IMHO the reader would be better served by a section redirect, that's why I put it in- I felt it was better than what was there before.


 * If someone else wants (and cares enough) to expand it to a full article, that's up to them, but just because I made that one minor redirect I felt useful, this doesn't oblige me to do the former, particularly as it's a rubbish- if moderately successful- song I vaguely remembered and looked up through pointless curiosity.


 * Anyway, I agree that this really isn't that important. Ubcule (talk) 23:28, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Question about ISBNs
Hi ShelfSkewed,

I noticed that you change a few ISBNs in the article Arad, Israel. I understand that there is some kind of rule/formula for calculating ISBNs. However, the books where they are from had the former ISBNs. Does that mean that the books got it wrong?

Thanks, Ynhockey (Talk) 10:12, 31 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Sometimes publishers do assign incorrect numbers, for a variety of reasons. Even when that is the case, I can usually confirm that an incorrect number was assigned and is associated with the publication in question. In this case, though, I couldn't find any evidence (online, anyway) that the number 965-521-057-7 was ever used for anything. The closest I found was a Tel Aviv street map with the mathematically correct number 965-521-057-X. The number I used, 965-521-082-0, was one I found associated with both the 2007 and 2009 editions of the Gold Atlas. Now, if you actually have the publication in hand, and it shows the ISBN 965-521-057-7, then that ISBN should be restored, enclosed in the template Listed Invalid ISBN. If you can confirm that this is the number printed on the publication, I'll be happy to take care of cleaning up my mistake. Cheers!-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  15:29, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Coming Home (2013 film)


The article Coming Home (2013 film) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * While I can find references to this short film being cast, I can find none to it beginning production yet; as such, it would seem to fail WP:NFILM.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Go Game
Hi, I'm Bingo Boys, You recently removed an external link I added on the page Go. I see the ‘Other media’ page as the perfect place for this link as it is other media and it is a site called Go Game. I see no difference between www.go-game.com and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. —Preceding undated comment added 15:52, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The difference is that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has an article, and go-game.com does not. Disambiguation pages are navigation pages for material available on Wikipedia, and all entries must either have an article or be discussed or mentioned in a related article linked the description. If go-game.com is notable, you can create an article for it, then list it on the dab page--assuming, that is, that the site is, or might be, commonly referred to as just Go. Otherwise, it would be considered an unambiguous partial title match, and not suitable for listing at Go.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  16:00, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Athens
I must have done something wrong.Could you please revert ONLY the graphs in the climate section with the corrected values?The correct values are those done by me.The temperatures values are now TOTALLY wrong for Athens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weatherextremes (talk • contribs) 11:31, 11 December 2012 (UTC)


 * ✅. I have restored your changes to the climate section only, leaving intact all the other intervening edits since the edits made by 178.128.72.43 on 20 November. In the future, the best way to restore information when there have been intervening edits since the info was changed is not to use revert but to go to the edit history, open a version of the article with the correct information, highlight and copy only the bit you mean to restore, and then open the current version of the article and paste in the older section. And don't forget to leave an edit summary explaining the change. Cheers!-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  15:03, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Farrar Straus
Did you notice i had created this category 12 minutes before you began applying it? I have been trying to created these categories, and was somewhat chagrined to realize i hadnt remembered this publisher (i was using a combination of my memory and a list of us publishers here, the list must not have had this one, for shame, and i have NO excuse for forgetting FSG, right?) anyway, thanks for finding and using it. I am a very big proponent of identifying first publisher here, and prefer listing books by publisher to authors by publisher, as authors are often free agents, or with some minor works landing at other houses. Some have argued for deleting this entire group of categories, which i find silly, but its reassuring to see someone else using them. thats a christmas gift to me, seriously.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:15, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Several of the books you'd tagged (Franzen's) are on my watchlist, and I immediately thought of three other authors who published the bulk of their work with FSG, so I went ahead and tagged them as well. I thought of some others, too, but I'll back off while you're working to avoid duplicating the effort. You'll probably take care of them anyway.

In recognition of your detective work

 * Note that I've also listed this article at List of hoaxes on Wikipedia, where it's the eight longest-lasting hoax to have been detected. Feel free to change that entry! I'll also be notifying the editors of the Signpost newsletter. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 22:27, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

YOU ARE AWESOME!

 * Thank you! I have to say I'm a little overwhelmed the response, since I was just hoping to not end up looking like a dope. Cheers! -- Shelf Skewed  Talk  04:43, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
