Disambiguation link notification for June 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Water in California, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Central Valley. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Murder City (disambiguation)

Please note that disambiguation pages like Murder City (disambiguation) are meant merely to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. If information is wp:notable, it should be added to the article (with supporting references), not the DAB page. Leschnei (talk) 13:16, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Leschnei, I am very aware of rules; thank you for your reminder. Adding Detroit to that list is **extremely** helpful to readers looking to find an article. For example, yesterday on the front page of Wikipedia, it said "did you know... that the 1971 Hazelwood massacre was the largest mass murder in the history of "Murder City"?" By looking up "Murder City" in Wikipedia, there is no mention of Detroit. The disambiguation page had no mention either, which I edited. A curious reader like myself would merely like to know which city people have called "Murder City", and by reverting you are hiding that info from people. It obviously meets wp:notable; otherwise it would not be on front page. Please add it back to the page, I do not want to edit-war. Quohx (talk) 13:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it should be added to both article and disambiguation page; it is only on the page Hazelwood massacre. Do you agree or would you oppose this change also? Quohx (talk) 13:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a good place to add it in Detroit, so I put the entry back on Murder City (disambiguation) with a link to Hazelwood massacre. Though someone else might remove it since there's already an entry for Detroit (Murder City: Detroit - 100 Years of Crime and Violence). Leschnei (talk) 14:15, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that's more logical. Thanks! Quohx (talk) 15:08, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dicta Boelcke

Hello, I am puzzled by your recent ambiguous edit. Just which information would address your concern? I mean, if newer air tactics manuals about aerial warfare are based on the Dicta, what additional information do you think is needed?Georgejdorner (talk) 21:16, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added the "how?" tag because I think that the uncited claim that "modern air tactics manuals are *based* on the Dicta" needs substantial clarification. How exactly are they similar, what aspects are similar, etc. Right now it's like saying "all modern music is based on Bach" or "all modern literature is based on Shakespeare". It's not necessarily wrong, but it's not really useful to say. Especially given that the Dicta is so simple, a bulleted list of eight statements. I'd argue the average reader would find it hard to believe that modern NATO air tactics are so simple. Quohx (talk) 01:49, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to be so critical, it's probably hard to get your hands on classified air tactics! But there's probably some good secondary source discussing how influential the Dicta still is. I'll also do a bit of research, sorry for the drive-by tagging. Quohx (talk) 01:56, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
