Hi Qwerty, you recently requested that Pirate be protected at requests for page protection, but the article hasn't been edited in 5 years, let alone vandalised. Did you mean to request protection for a different page? Sam Walton (talk) 21:27, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Samwalton9, my bad for going to the wrong page to request page protection. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 22:43, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Did you mean Piracy per this edit? (pinging Samwalton9 for follow-up). St★lwart¹¹¹ 03:38, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes. I was just being stupid and lazy. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 03:42, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Lazy for saying "pirate" and not the correct direct-direct article. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 03:44, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

That's okay, but only page watchers will see that edit. You need to head over to to WP:RFPP to ask the admins there. St★lwart¹¹¹ 03:53, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Life of Pi (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Digest. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
