Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited List of indigenous peoples, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lepcha (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Re: Joel McHale
"Dubious source content?" Read the reference. McHale provides the quote. The inclusion of his Theta Chi membership is largely irrelevant in the first place. The original writer of that inclusion distorts the purpose of article he/she provided reference to. Without proper contextualization, one would think he was happy about his inclusion in the fraternity, which he has, on multiple occasions, made clear he was not.
Don't got about lazily "cleaning" things up if you aren't going to, you know, refer to the source material.
