sia vs. dab, and Mississippi

[edit]

I just revised a new entry for a Mississippi Landmark. Dab page guidelines for entries are that wikipedia article names should be shown directly, not hidden by pipelinks or redirects. So, for dab purposes, it should show as Aubrey K. Lucas Administration Building, rather than Administration Building (University of Southern Mississippi) which redirects to there. Also, could it be clarified what is the official name given by the Mississippi Landmark program. Perhaps to revise the entry to show something like:

Also, different guidelines about redirects etc. might apply if this were a wp:SIA Set Index Article, rather than a disambiguation page. Perhaps this one should be converted to being a SIA, if there is interest by anyone in covering administration buildings. My own involvement has just been purely to facilitate disambiguation to wikipedia articles about individual places, rather than developing a standalone list or SIA on admin buildings. doncram (talk) 20:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed as simply Administration Building on the List of Mississippi Landmarks (which I haven't completed quite yet, but it links to the PDF of all the landmarks. I don't think MDAH (Mississippi Department of Archives and History) uses any set system. I've been going through the list article and linking each item, but I've pretty much been making up my own system haha. Maybe you could take a look at it? I changed the way the administration building shows up on this article.. not really sure what the "correct" method is (or even if there is one). --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 21:51, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
