I made some changes to this template for a navigation bar, as you can see in the most recent edits. I tried adding a new section called "Cities", but it isn't showing. Could someone please fix it? Much appreciated. —  Melofors   TC  05:58, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Made in China 2019 film move
Recently, the film Made in China (2019 film) was moved to Made in China (2019 Indian film) with the rationale that there's another French film of the same name. However there is no article of the new French film (redlinker) as of now in the en-Wiki as can be see in the DAB page. Was that move justified? Considering that until the French film is deemed notable enough to have its own page in English Wikipedia, aren't we suppose to keep the disambiguation page as simple as possible? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree. Disambiguation is done to avoid having two articles with the same name. The name "Made in China (2019 film)" achieves that. Maproom (talk) 09:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * That. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:32, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I moved Made in China (2019 Indian film) back to Made in China (2019 film). Kept the redlinked Made in China (2019 French film) as per MOS:DABRED. Is it OK? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:49, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. If the French film gets an article, we can change again, if necessary. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:11, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yup. Thanks . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:07, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Remove the death date of NETAJI SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE from Wikipedia
I saw the date of death of our NETAJI ... there is no prove that he died on 1945 and Indian government also didn't publish any date of his death...he is god for we Indian who has no death .... so please I am requesting you remove the date of his death just because Indian government denied the plain crash incident after investigation ... this is a mystery... and anyone has no proper answer that what was happened to him..

I am further requesting you please remove the date of death of NETAJI SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE from Wikipedia.....

Please check this issue..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.191.50.47 (talk) 11:04, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I just noticed this in passing and, for information here, thought it useful to link the Death of Subhas Chandra Bose article. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 11:08, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * In the lead of Subhas Chandra Bose, there is a footnote to the date about the controversy, and a section about it at Subhas Chandra Bose that refers to a whole separate article about it. Seems reasonably well covered. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 14:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

There was no proper daate of his death...his death is still a mystery for Indian's and Indian government....he is a god who has a birth day but no death day... please remove the wrong content that he died on 1945 ... that is a wrong information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.191.50.47 (talk) 11:16, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The date of death is cited, as is the information that many do not think the individual is dead. Wikipedia makes no claim as to what you or any person should believe- that's up to you. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources state, and allows the reader to decide for themselves what they believe. 331dot (talk) 12:27, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * The OP 223.191.50.47 might consider the fact that our article Jesus gives a (rough) date of death for that individual, even though the belief that he did not (permanently) die, and is a god, is the most fundamental tenet of the entire Christian religion for the vast majority of its adherents. In such matters, Wikipedia might be said to be applying the principle of Non-overlapping magisteria. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.205.58.107 (talk) 18:14, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Dashes for product names in wiki article names
I'm kind of confused about the article naming rules (Manual_of_Style & Article_titles), the uniform naming of articles inside a category (for example Category:Canon_EF_lenses vs. Category:Nikon_F-mount_lenses) and the official public product name writing from the manufacturers (for example, Canon & Nikon). Who can tell me more about it, which options there are and their advantages and disadvantages? --Angerdan (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:38, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello and welcome to the Teahouse, Angerdan, Rather than having us go on at great length on the topics you have mentioned, please tell us the specific problems you are experiencing. What is giving you difficulty?--Quisqualis (talk) 15:35, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * If you are wondering about the lack of consistency in lens names in article titles, I agree that several different characters are being used to designate a dash. If this is your concern, the place to report your observation and discuss a resolution would be the Talk pages of the two categories you mentioned above.--Quisqualis (talk) 15:42, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * At first glance, it appears to me that the articles about zoom lenses in Category:Nikon F-mount lenses, such as Nikon F 70-210mm lens, should all be moved to use an en dash rather than a hyphen (as the articles about zoom lenses in Category:Canon EF lenses do). The relevant guideline is MOS:ENFROM, and the usage of the manufacturer shouldn't matter, as almost all folks use hyphens rather than en dashes only because that's what's available on most keyboards. (I would also put a space between the numeral and "mm", in accordance with the ninth item in the "General guidelines on use of units" table in MOS:UNITSYMBOLS, but that may not be the practise in the photography field.)

Requesting a new article
I tried to request an article to be researched and published on Companion Life Insurance Co of South Carolina, US. The page I ended up on in your system said to post the request "in the appropriate location below" but there was no place to post. How do I request such an article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.27.96.30 (talk) 14:13, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Go to WP:RA, then scroll down to the business section (or click at the table of contents); then click the most appropriate sub heading. You will then be taken to another page where you will need to click on the section of the alphabet (or letter) that relates to the first letter of your proposed article. I.e. 'C' or possibly a range like 'A-E'. You will then be presented with an edit window to add your request. Please note reliable sources will be required. Eagleash (talk) 15:17, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Elahly
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al-Ahly_(disambiguation)#

This is my edit, and it wasn’t done ... why ?

I want to share my edit on the page of elahly, it’s reflecting the ahly club position and value — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdelrhman87-vet (talk • contribs) 15:38, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Plainly stated, Abdelrhman87-vet, a disambiguation page is not the right place for content such as:

The Egyptian Ahly club is one of the most famous clubs worldwide for its big number of fans and great accomplishment either for its great values which is witnessed all over the world -

The song : always with the club in the good and bad situation I always love elahly
 * Disambiguation pages have only the bare minimum of information to distinguish one article from another.--Quisqualis (talk) 15:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Orange Shellac uses
FYI an additional use for orange shellac is as an aid in grafting such as grafting paper-shell pecans onto native pecan trees. This process is described on the Texas A&M website citing the correct use for sealing the newly applied graft onto the root-stock pecan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.93.150.41 (talk) 23:58, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
