Pointless Link?

Is there any point to having the words "Mystic River Reservation" in this article point to this same page?

It seems to me the same result would be achieved by unlinking it--though my personal preference would be for a separate article.

I may do some research and, if there's enough information to warrant it, write this article myself, and then have this link point to that.Chillowack (talk) 17:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to unlink it, you're right that the article shouldn't link to itself. It would be great if you wrote a new article for the reservation itself, and of course if you do there should be a link here. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 20:11, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Antony-22. I've done some research and written the article, and I was just in the process of posting it, when I got a message saying the article already exists. It appears that the title exists, with no actual article (the title points to this Mystic River article). My guess is that a Mystic River Reservation article previously existed, but was deemed insufficient and merged into this one. However: I believe I have gathered enough distinct and relevant information about the Mystic River Reservation to warrant a separate article about it. So I'm wondering: is there a way to delete that empty "Mystic River Reservation" title that is currently blocking me from posting my article? Thanks for your help.

What's there is a redirect. If you've got a new article, put it in place of that redirect. - David Biddulph (talk) 15:38, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help! I have replaced the redirect with my article.Chillowack (talk) 18:23, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good work. Hmm, it's about 800 characters now, if you get it above 1500 characters in the next five days you could nominate it for the Did you know... section on the main page, if you're interested. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 18:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Antony-22--I did not know about Did you know...; I will see if I can "fatten" my article with some additional relevant content.Chillowack (talk) 20:06, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

I doubt the 2nd etymology given here. It would seem to require 'tuk' by itself to mean a tidal river. This would affect various other placenames, unless the meaning differed in just This one unidentified language. I will look for more info. Lollipop (talk) 15:14, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
