Talk:Obe

Ontario

In case you're wondering about the Ontario Exams, and why this is now disambig, I came across the term in several people's resumees I was reviewing, so it seems pertinent info for the Encyclopedia. 132.205.95.64 02:48, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Okay but all current 105 links to 'OBE are for the original redirect. I never heard of them before and I live in Canada. Please read Wikipedia:Disambiguation for other ways to handle disambiguation. RedWolf 08:05, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)

Now they don't. --Alvestrand 23:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I lived in Ontario, and graduated from High School there. We just had to accumulate enough required credits from successfully completed courses in order to graduate. I've never heard of the Ontario Board Exams, and it doesn't look like they've been implemented since I graduated, as the only Google hits I get are a whole bunch for the mirrors of this article, and one hit for the Ontario Board Examinations of the The Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy - Naturopathy in Ontario. Since this Board doesn't have a Wikipedia entry, I don't see why one of their exams should. I'm removing the entry. Rawr 23:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Overcome (or Overtaken) by Events

The phrase Overcome (or Overtaken) by Events has been added at least 5 times, and subsequently removed, most recently by Bkonrad. If one does a Google search for "OBE", this page is the second hit. Should it not include this common definition?

Is there higher-level guidance which indicates that entries should be excluded from disambiguation pages if they don't have an article? MOS:DAB talks about linking to Wiktionary.

There is a link to Wikitionary on the page. It is at the top right and it includes overcome by events. MOS:DAB discusses that entries must link to a Wikipedia article that uses the term. If there is no link that does that it doesn’t belong on the page. ~ GB fan 20:11, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Open Back-End

This redirects to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_and_back_ends#Computer_science which neither has the word "open" appearing on it anywhere nor the anchor "Computer Science". I'm a computer scientist myself and was curious what the term meant in this context, and was sad to find no useful explanation. Vttale (talk) 04:39, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Open Back-End was redirected to that target on 23 August 2011, when there was a section "Computer science" at that page, but it did not mention "Open".[1] I will remove it from here, and propose deletion of the redirect.
