"Undid revision 557056930 by Ottawahitech (talk) see MOS:D and WP:DDD; doesn't meet MOS:DABRL or MOS:DABMENTION, no ext links/refs on dabs"

Since I don't understand this edit summary (which by the way has some great links, thank you), I will re-insert my edit minus the ref and wp:red link .Hope this is OK? XOttawahitech (talk) 20:14, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm afraid it still doesn't meet MOS:DABMENTION. Should only have blue link if significant mention of that person is in the blue linked article. The blue links given went to an article with no significant mention of him (no mention at all) and a disambiguation page. If someone was looking for info on the business exec and clicked on those links, they would only have become confused and had their time wasted. If you think he is notable, you may want to create the article or a significant mention within another article. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 07:55, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to explain the above, and for the excellent edit summaries. XOttawahitech (talk) 15:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
