Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Highland (disambiguation) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 02:33, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Fred

Information icon Hello, I'm D'SuperHero. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Fred without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I have restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. CAN I ASK WHY THE CONTENT HAD BEEN REMOVED OF FRED FLINTSTONE? SuperHero ● 👊 ● ★ 14:04, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Please do not restore the edit. 1) The disambiguation page is not a list of every character named Fred, and 2) the entry broke the sub-bullets under the previous entry. older ≠ wiser 14:09, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Do you know who was Strato I of Sidon?

Why are you deleting? Böri (talk) 10:38, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

To be included on a disambiguation page an entry must contain a link to an existing article that mentions the term. If there's no article, there's nothing to disambiguate. older ≠ wiser 12:15, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
That means: You don't know! Böri (talk) 07:00, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Whether I know or not is irrelevant. An entry on a disambiguation page must link to an existing article that mentions the term. older ≠ wiser 10:07, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
You don't know... and I showed that you're not wise. Böri (talk) 12:04, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Perhaps, but that still doesn't mean anything with regards to whether an entry meets criteria for disambiguation. older ≠ wiser 12:49, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear, before removing content, kindly consult my comment on the talk page. Thanks! Jan olieslagers (talk) 19:09, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Well you obviously wouldn't. Have it your own way, then. Why couldn't you create the article, even as a stub, rather than remove the entry? It is SO easy to remove stuff - creating something is so much harder. I did my best and you have seriously discouraged me. Negativist! Disgusted, Jan olieslagers (talk) 20:06, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Jan olieslagers@ Why couldn't you create the article, even as a stub? Of the two of us, you are the only one to have even so much as heard of the entity. Why should you expect anyone else to do what you could do just as well if not better? older ≠ wiser 20:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
I was getting ready to do so, but your disruptive action removed all my enthusiasm. You have however confirmed that yourself are better at removing than at creating. Jan olieslagers (talk) 12:01, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Jan olieslagers@ Yeah right. Whatever. If you want to create an article, then write the article first, don't just add an invalid entry to a disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 13:05, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Name question

Hello User:Bkonrad, I saw your contribution to Brazier (name) that you did a while ago and maybe you can answer this question. Which of these two name origins ([1] and [2]) would you say is most realistic origin of the names Mayer, Mayor, Maior, etc. 1 or 2? Thanks either way. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 22:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I haven't the slightest clue. older ≠ wiser 01:27, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Pain

Why did you revert my changes on pain? The sentence 'Payment Initialization - an electronic message used within the Single Euro Payments Area.' is NOT correct. I have even included a link to the offical ISO20022 page. -- 193.8.65.22 (talk) 17:53, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

There were a few problems with your edit. First, external links and references are not allowed on pages. Second, each entry must link to an existing article that supports the usage claimed in the entry. In this case, the article for ISO 20022 makes no mention of the term PAIN or the Payment Initialization message, while it is mentioned in the Single Euro Payments Area. However, I can see that the mention there referred to ISO 20022 and makes no indication of exclusive use of the term. I'll try to edit the dab page to make this clearer without the external link. older ≠ wiser 18:31, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Fair enough. I didn't know about the rule about external links and references since wikipedia is full of it. But it still is payment initiation and not initialization. Also the standard is ISO 20022 (twenty-o-two-two) and not 20023. The ISO 20022 article really requires some updates. Maybe I'll do that if I find some time. It bothers me when there is misinformation in wikipedia, especially when it concerns articles of stuff that I have to work with on a daily basis (I'm a software engineer in a financial institution). -- 193.8.65.22 (talk) 13:05, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
The ISO # was a typo. But it is referenced as initialization in the SEPA article. Disambiguation pages should only reflect content in existing articles not introduce new information. older ≠ wiser 13:12, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
I change now the description and made it more precise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MEW (talk • contribs) 13:22, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Proposal to rename categories

Please see my proposal to speedily rename Category:Defunct villages by country and subcategories to Category:Former villages by country etc. Hugo999 (talk) 18:41, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Big Iron novel

Can you please explain why you have deleted this edit of mine twice in the last two days? This is my first attempt to edit a disambiguation page and do not yet know all the rules. I also do not yet know how to access my talk page, watch page, what all the talk page guidelines are, etc. Thanks. Bill Fairchild Nolensville, TN DASDBILL2 (talk) 13:24, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

DASDBILL2@ WP:Disambiguation pages are meant to help readers navigate to existing Wikipedia article on topics that may be ambiguous. Each entry should have a blue link to an existing article that at least mentions the subject. older ≠ wiser 14:00, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

OK. Thanks. I thought someone thought I might have violated a copyright.DASDBILL2 (talk) 15:20, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Care to comment on this Broadcom discussion?

You've shown an interest in Broadcom in the past so you might be interested in this Talk:Broadcom#Proposal to make two moves. Cheers! Talk to SageGreenRider 00:17, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

No, as I've said before, I've no opinion as to whether one or the other or neither should be the primary topic -- only that the disambiguation page should reflect what that actual situation of the articles is per consensus. older ≠ wiser 01:53, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
