Disambiguation

I had a shufti at your talk page and noticed that you get a lot of disambig notices, despite being a grizzled Wikiveteran. Do you have Display links to disambiguation pages in orange selected in Preferences —> Appearance? Just curious. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 23:33, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Keith: No, I didn't know about that one (or any of the Preference options; I think I looked at it first time round, set up my e-mail, and promptly forgot about it) We learn something new every day! I'll give it a try; Thanks! Xyl 54 (talk) 23:25, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Schräge Musik

I don't understand how your edit "undid" mine, but thank you for adding the image link, and clarifying that it was Billy Bishop; neither were there when I came across it, hence my edit. It was really kinda funny without its context, though, because as an absolute layperson with regard to WW1, I was all, like, "Bishop? Bishop who? Is that a surname? Is this a clergy member?" ScottyFresch (talk) 12:54, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottyFresch:: Thanks for replying: I should say that if I sounded grumpy I was more bothered by the other edit I reverted. And yes, the original caption wasn’t very clear, but it hadn’t been noticed until you brought it up. So, all’s well that ends well, Xyl 54 (talk) 20:31, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
